1.0 How to put the machine into operation
1.1 Assembly
For ease of packing, the handle and side brush assembly are packed separately.
These parts must be installed before the machine is put into operation.
The handle is mounted by means of knobs (3 - fig on next page)
Handle can be fixed in two different positions as shown below.
Handle position 1Handle position 2
1.2 Side Brush Assembly
1. Mount the side broom to the brush plate on the side arm assembly using hex head bolt and nylock nut.
2. Position the V-Belt from the side arm assembly around the pulley attached to the backside of the right wheel.
In order to do this it will be necessary to twist the V-Belt. The lower loop of the v-belt should be coming from
the idler pulley (not from the broom pulley).
3. Attach the side arm assembly with the support side brush on the frame by loosening the screws fixed onto the
frame. Place the V-Belt on to the drive pulley on the wheel, adjust the arm assembly forwards or backwards
for the desired tension. Fasten the arm assembly by tightening the screws. Check the brush for free rotation.
4. Check for proper rotation and operation of the side broom. The broom should rotate counter clockwise when
the sweeper is pushed forward-if not the v-belt was installed incorrectly. If the belt slips the tension can be
adjusted by loosening the 2 screws that attach the support side brush to the frame, move the bracket forward,
then re-tighten the screws.

1. Pressure adjustment knob for Side Brush
Used for setting of the side brush. The side brush may touch the floor
only by its one third section, so as to throw the swept matter into the
machine.
The castor wheel is to keep the pre-set working height of the side
brush.
2. Pressure adjustment knob for Main Brush
Used for setting of the main brush pressure. The pressure must be set
so as to assure perfect cleaning operation.
3. Knobs
Used to secure the handle to the machine or to reposition it.
Excess pressure will cause unnecessary wear of the brush and increased load for the operator.
4. Main Brush Pressure Reading Scale
Indicates the pressure at which the main brush has been set.
Setting must be performed as described below :
Set the main brush by turning the knob clock-wise to increase the pressure, at this position the
scale should read ‘5’ .
Starting with this setting, the main brush pressure can be increased to meet the requirement.
(As the brush wears out)
Turn the knob in counter-clockwise direction to reduce the main brush pressure according to
the requirement.

2.2 Operation of the Kleen Sweep 27
The Kleen Sweep 27 operates with two brushes. The side brush takes dirt from the side into the reach of the
main brush. The main brush maintains its direction of rotation to throw the dirt into the hopper in forward
direction of the machine.
2.3 Overcoming Obstacles
In case of normal obstacles coming in the way of sweeping the Kleen Sweep 27 should be pressed down at
the handle. This will cause the two brushes to lift off from the floor and the machine can easily surmount
these obstacles.
2.4 Emptying of Hopper
The hopper can be easily lifted by using the handle provided. The hopper is secured to the machine by
means of the frame. The hopper must be in direct contact with the brush compartment in order to prevent
leakage of dirt.
2.5 Renewal of Brush Assemblies
The main brush consists of a brush shaft with two brush core assemblies fastened with six self tapping
screws.
The brush cores can be replaced as below:
- Unscrew the self tapping screws
- Pull the brush core assembly to the front (broom viewed from user side) to remove it from the brush shaft.
When reassembly of the brush ensure the split pins are fixed in the holes to guide the brush.
2.6 Rubber Sealing Aprons
The rubber aprons avoid leaking of the dust produced by the brush. Damaged or used aprons
cannot fulfill this task any longer and must be replaced.
2.7 Greasing of the Main Wheels
For cleaning and greasing of the wheel axle and the gear ring, the main wheels must be
removed as described below.
1. Remove hood, remove the bolt and domed cap nut from the wheel and pull the main wheel.
2. Unscrew the gear cover and apply grease in the gear area.
3. Reposition the main wheel.
2.8 Replacement and Tensioning of the V-belt
1. Lift up the side brush arm
2. Loosen the clamp screw and pull out the side brush from the brush arm.
3. Place the V-belt through the brush arm and put it on the V-belt pulley on the brush shaft
4. Push the side brush back into the brush arm and re-tighten the clamp screw.
5. Place V-belt into the groove of the right-hand main wheel.
When the brush arm is put down, the V-belt must be tensioned so as to allow a perfect drive
transmission, if necessary re-tighten by shifting of the side brush arm bearing.
2.9 Replacement of the Side Brush
The side brush can be replaced after removing hex-bolts from the side brush.
2.9.a Regaining of Bristles
If the bristles have been bent inwards in transit the side brush must be placed on a flat base,
the bristles pointing outward and a weight must be placed on the plate. The bristles will
regain their correct position gradually.
If the bristles have been bent outwards, bring them together apply a rubber band around the
bristles and allow it to stay for sometime. The bristles will regain their correct position
gradually.
Refer figure on page 3 for point 2.8 and 2.9.
