MAIN BROOM HEIGHT CHECK
NOTE:
Brooms with harder or softer bristles are
available. This procedure is applicable for
all types of brooms.
1.
Check the correct main broom height from the
ground (not carpet), proceeding as follows:
a.
With the machine on level ground, keep the
machine stationary and allow the main broom
to rotate for several seconds.
b.
Stop the main broom and move the machine.
c.
Check that the main broom pattern (1, Fig. D),
proper width, is from 2 to 4 cm(0.8-1.6 in) on
the type of surface where the machine will be
used.
d.
If the pattern (A) is different, it is necessary to
adjust the broom height, proceeding as
described in step 2.
2.
With the machine on level ground, activate the
brake pedal (26, Fig. C) (if equipped), or block the
wheels
3.
Turn the ignition key (2, Fig. B) to the "0" position.
4.
Loosen the knobs (1, Fig. E) on both side of the
machine.
5.
Using the knobs (1, fig. E) on both sides of the
machine, rotate the broom height adjuster
indicator (2) as necessary and then retighten the
knobs (1).
NOTE:
The indicator (2) does not have to be at the
same position on both sides of the
machine; the maximum difference allowed
is 2 notches to obtain a correct broom
pattern (1, Fig. D) from 2 to 4 cm (0.8 – 1.6
in) as described in step 1.
6.
Perform step 1 again to check the proper
adjustment of the main broom height from ground.
7.
When the broom becomes too worn, adjustment is
no longer possible. Replace the broom following
the instructions in the following chapter.
CAUTION!
A main broom pattern in excess of 4 cm
(1.6 in) compromise the normal function
of the machine and can overheat the
electrical
reducing their life.
Pay particular attention when checking
the main broom height (broom pattern)
and never operate the machine outside
the specifications listed above.

CAUTION!
It is advisable to use protective gloves
when replacing the main or side broom
because there can be potentially harmful
debris between the bristles.
MAIN BROOM REPLACEMENT
NOTE:
Brooms with harder or softer bristles are
available. This procedure is applicable to
each type of broom.
1.
With the machine on level ground activate the
brake (26, Fig. C) (if equipped) or block the
wheels.
2.
Turn the ignition key (2, Fig. B) to the "0" position.
3.
Loosen the knobs (1, Fig. E) on both sides of the
machine.
4.
Move the broom height adjuster indicators (2, Fig.
E) until the broom reaches the maximum distance
from the ground. Retighten the knobs (1).
5.
Open the cover (7, Fig. C).
6.
On the left side of the machine, remove the knob
(3, Fig. E).
7.
Remove the broom cover (1, Fig. F) by rotating the
top of the cover outward and lifting upward to
disengage the retainers (2).
8.
Remove the broom (1, Fig. G) by sliding it out
slowly.
9.
Check that both broom hubs (4, Fig. R) are free of
dirt and foreign materials (cords, rope, etc.)
accidentally rolled up.
10. The new broom must be installed with the curve of
the bristle rows (1, Fig. H) as shown in figure (top
view).
11. Slide the new broom into the broom housing and
align the main broom hub (1, Fig. I) with the drive
hub (4, Fig. R).
12. Reinstall the broom cover (1, Fig. F) by engaging
the retainers (2) and aligning the plastic broom
core with the broom hub and pushing the top of
the door inward.
13. Retighten the knob (3, Fig. E).
14. Carry out the Main Broom Height Adjustment as
described in the previous paragraph.
