BRUSH PATTERN
0041
NOTE
A properly adjusted brush offers the best sweeper performance. To check the brush pattern, use the
following procedures.
1.
Start the sweeper at a slow speed; then, lower it into sweeping position. Run the sweeper in a stationary position for 10
seconds.
2.
Raise the sweeper and back away; switch off the engine. The brush pattern left in the dust should be 2-4 in. wide, running
the length of the brush (Figure 9).
3.
Adjust the brush pattern as necessary using the adjusting ratchet (Figure 10); clockwise to lower; counterclockwise to
raise.
4.
Repeat steps 1 thru 3 until the brush pattern is 2-4 in. wide.
