Side broom
The side broom is driven by a Vee
belt from the RH wheel. Slueing down
the side broom will tension the belt,
and driving condition thus will be
established.
Replacement
of side broom
GSlue-up side broom arm
GRemove clamp screw underneath
side broom (spanner size 10 mm)
GPull out side broom
GPlug-on new side broom and
secure. Do not overtorque clamp
screw to avoid squeezing the
bristles hub.
Note: Adjust ground clearance with
handwheel (A/1) so that
2 /
3
of the
broom circumference is going
to touch the floor. Higher load will
cause excessive bristle wear
and more power for moving the
machine.
Adjust tension of side
broom Vee belt
To tension the Vee belt, proceed in
the following way:
GSlue-up side broom;
GLoosen bolts (B/2), should come
out approx. 5 mm (0.2");
GLift roller holder (B/1) from slot in
plastic rib;
GSlue roller holder (B/1) out, intro-
duce into next slot, slue back and
tighten;
GSlue down side broom, check ten-
sion, readjust as required.
Note: Adjust Vee belt tension just
as far as required to ensure power
transmission. Do not adjust too
high a tension of the Vee belt to
avoid excessive load and wear to
the side broom, and to preclude
poor sweeping performance.
