BRAKES
The service brakes are located on the front wheels and are operated by the brake pedal and the parking brake.
Check the brakes daily for proper operation and inspect the brake pads for wear every 100 hours of operation.

ADJUSTING THE BRAKE PEDAL
Perform this adjustment to ensure proper pedal height and linkage operation. The brakes are properly adjusted
when the brakes hold the sweeper on an 8-degree ramp. The brakes need adjusted if the pedal travels closer
than 1” to the floor of the operator’s compartment when the brakes are fully engaged.

WARNING

Always park on a level surface, chock tires and observe safety procedures when adjusting the brakes.

ADJUSTING THE BRAKES
When adjusting the brake clevis, follow these steps:

1.

Right hand brake cable slack.

2.

Adjust parking brake for maximum engagement.

3.

With parking brake “off,” check L.H. wheel which should rotate with minimum drag. (Not completely free)

4.

Adjust R.H. brake to provide minimum drag when released.
