Minuteman Kleen Sweep 27 - Manual (Page 5)

1.0 How to put the machine into operation
For ease of packing, the handle and side brush assembly are packed separately.
These parts must be installed before the machine is put into operation.
The handle is mounted by means of knobs (3 - fig on next page)
Handle can be fixed in two different positions as shown below.
Handle position 1 Handle position 2

1. Mount the side broom to the brush plate on the side arm assembly using hex head bolt and nylock nut.
2. Position the V-Belt from the side arm assembly around the pulley attached to the backside of the right wheel.
In order to do this it will be necessary to twist the V-Belt. The lower loop of the v-belt should be coming from
the idler pulley (not from the broom pulley).
3. Attach the side arm assembly with the support side brush on the frame by loosening the screws fixed onto the
frame. Place the V-Belt on to the drive pulley on the wheel, adjust the arm assembly forwards or backwards
for the desired tension. Fasten the arm assembly by tightening the screws. Check the brush for free rotation.
4. Check for proper rotation and operation of the side broom. The broom should rotate counter clockwise when
the sweeper is pushed forward-if not the v-belt was installed incorrectly. If the belt slips the tension can be
adjusted by loosening the 2 screws that attach the support side brush to the frame, move the bracket forward,
then re-tighten the screws.
