ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTMENT OF BELT TENSIONER
There are two belt tensioners on the Sweep Star V62. One
controls the tension on the belt from the engine to blower
shaft the other controls the belt on the finger or brush reel.
The proper tension of the idler should be 12 to 15 as per the
gauge (A) on the side of the tightener. Over tightening the belt
will shorten the life of the belt and the machine may not per-
form to the best of its ability. To adjust belt tensioner, loosen
bolt holding tensioner. Bring idler pulley tight to belts and turn
tensioner into belts to 15°. Tighten holder bolt.
CASTOR WHEELS
Install castor wheels onto the brush/finger head assembly. You may put the machine bush-
ings and spacers (A) on in any combination to get desired height. You should leave one
machine bushing on the very bottom and one on the very top next to the lockpin. Check the
tire pressure on Castor Wheels they should be 20 psi (1.4 bar).
DRAIN
The drain is used to flush out any water or debris that accu-
mulates in the bottom of the blower housing.
