SIDE BROOM (Refer to the Side Broom Group in
the Parts section)
FOR SAFETY: The side broom automatically
begins to operate when the side broom lever is
positioned in the forward end of its slot.
The side broom is used to clean debris sway from
curbs and walls, and sweep it into the path of the
main broom. Inspect the side broom daily for wear
or damage. Remove any string, wire or banding
found wrapped around the side broom, side broom
hub, or shaft.
The side broom should be replaced when the
remaining bristles measure 2-1/2 inches (65 mm) or
less in length.
NOTE: All original equipment brooms are equipped
with “Perform Alert™”. This feature tells the
operator when it is time to replace the side broom.
“Perform Alert™” brooms have bright yellow tufts
located around the outside edge of the broom.
These tufts are pre-trimmed to indicate the length of
a worn out broom. When the main body of the
broom wears to a length that matches the yellow
tufts, the broom should be replaced.
