2. If adjustments are required for surfaces or wear, this can be done by turning the adjustment knob. The height indicator will show the position of the broom as you make your adjustment (Figure 5).

3. For best operating performance, the bristles of the broom should just touch the floor.

NOTE: If the main broom is set too low, the sweeper will be hard to push.

Symptom Possible Cause (s) Corrective Action

EMPTYING DIRT HOPPER

1. To empty the dirt hopper, lift up on the handle located on the front of the hopper, and empty contents into a proper container.

2. Replace dirt hopper back on sweeper by placing front edge of hopper on sweeper frame.

3. Apply downward pressure until the hopper is in its proper position.

4.The dirt hopper should be emptied after each use, or as required. A full dirt hopper will affect the sweeping efficiency of the push sweeper.

Maintenance

1. After each use, check for materials which may have become wrapped around brushes or wheels, and remove immediately.

2. Do not lubricate gears, clutch or other internal parts.

3. Inspect rubber dust seals periodically for wear or damage; replace as required.

4. Inspect the main broom periodically for wear; replace when the bristles are worn to a length of 1

/2inches or less. The main broom can be easily replaced by removing three screws from each half. The same screws can then be used to attach the replacement broom.

5. Side broom should be inspected periodically for wear; replace when (with the adjustment in the down position) less than

/3of the bristles come in contact with the surface. The side broom can be easily replaced by removing the screws from the brush holder and reassembling the replacement brush, using the same hardware.
