SET BRUSH HEIGHT
Check Brush Clearing Width
See Figure 12.
1. Move brush to a dusty, flat surface.
2. Start brush at slow speed and run in a
stationary position for 30 seconds.
3. Lift brush head and move unit backward.
4. Stop engine. See Stop the Engine on
page 11.
5. Check width of swept area. Brush pattern
should be 5 cm – 7.6 cm (2" – 3") wide
along brush length.
• If clearing width is too wide, raise brush.
• If clearing width is too narrow, lower
brush.
Adjust Brush Height
See Figure 13.
Adjust height so brush rests 3 mm – 6 mm
(1/8" – 1/4”) above delicate surfaces. For
hard surfaces, adjust height so brush lightly
touches surface.
IMPORTANT: Spacers on each caster wheel
must be adjusted equally.
1. Lower brush:
a. Remove lynch pins from caster shaft
tops.
b. Turn desired amount of height
adjuster clips to be removed so they
align with flat side of caster shafts and
remove clips.
c. Install spacers onto caster shaft tops
and reinstall lynch pins.
CAUTION: AVOID INJURY. If
brush height is too low, brush
can drive machine rearward
when attachment clutch is
engaged.
