SIDE BROOM HEIGHT CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT
NOTE
Brooms with harder or softer bristles are available.
This procedure is applicable to all types of brooms.
1.
Check the side broom distance from the ground, according
to the following procedure:
•
Drive the machine on a level ground.
•
Keep the machine stationary, lower the side brooms
and turn them on for a few seconds.
•
Stop and lift the side brooms, then move the machine.
•
Check that the side broom prints are as shown in the
figure (A and B, Fig. 9).
If the print is not within specifications, adjust the side
broom height according to the following procedure.
2.
Engage the parking brake.
3.
Turn the ignition key (61) to "0".
4.
Remove the right or left door (12 or 13) by turning the
fasteners.
NOTE
The right door fasteners must be turned with a tool.
5.
For the right side broom, operate on the idle gear by
loosening the ring nut (C, Fig. 10) and by adjusting the
adjuster (D) until the correct print (A, Fig. 9) is achieved.
Then fasten the adjuster with the ring nut (C, Fig. 10).
For the left side broom, operate on the idle gear by
loosening the ring nut (E) and by adjusting the adjuster (F)
until the correct print (B, Fig. 9) is achieved. Then fasten
the adjuster with the ring nut (E, Fig. 10).
6.
Perform step 1 again to check the proper adjustment of the
side broom height.
7.
When the broom is too worn to be adjusted, replace it as
shown in the next paragraph.
NOTE
If necessary, the side broom tilting can be adjusted
too (see the procedure in the Service Manual).
