MAINTENANCE
GENERALPREVENTATIVEMAINTENANCE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Do not allow material to remain in the Hamper for extended
periods of time. Clean the Hamper using a water hose and
allow it to dry completely before storage.
2. Check all moving parts for wear and freedom of movement.
3. Check all fasteners for tightness and retighten as required.
4. Inspect for rust on painted surfaces. Sand lightly and
touch up damaged areas with enamel paint.
5. Routine lubrication of the Dowel Pin and Drive Pinion is
required. At a minimum it is recommended to do this twice
per year: in the fall before storage, and again in the spring
before the first use. Follow the procedure outlined below in
the ‘Wheel and Drive Gear’ maintenance section.
6. Check the Drive Pinions and Dowel Pins for wear and
replace as needed. These are considered normal wear
parts. Contact the Customer Service Department to
purchase replacement parts.
7. Lubricate the Wheel Axles annually following the procedure
outlined in the Maintenance section.
BRUSHSECTIONREPLACEMENT
------------------------------------------
1. Stand the sweeper in storage position on a clean flat surface
such as garage floor or sidewalk (do not hang hamper from
clevis assembly).
2. Inspect the Brush Section and notice which side has the
short bristles (these will be located near the metal rail of the
Brush Section). It is important that the new Brush Section is
assembled in the same orientation.
3. Using the rubber mallet, tap the metal rail of the Brush
Section (55) to the left. This will loosen the Brush Section
from the Brush Holders (60).
4. Wearing work gloves, firmly grasp the Brush Section (55) between the Brush Holders (60) and pull to the right. Continue to pull
the Brush Section (55) to the right until it is free from both Brush Holders (60). Note: It may be necessary to have a second person
hold the sweeper in place while pulling the Brush Section (55) free.
5. Align the metal rail of the new Brush Section (55) with groove on inside Brush Holder (60). Note: Orientation of Brush Section (55)
short bristles must be as observed in Step 2.
6. Tap Brush Section (55) into Brush Holder (60) using the rubber mallet.
7. Continue to tap Brush Section (55) into the first Brush Holder (60). Be sure to align the metal rail of the Brush Section (55) with
the groove on the second Brush Holder (60).
8. Continue to tap Brush Section (55) into Brush Holders (60) until the metal rail aligns with the remaining two Brush Sections (55)
or about 1/2 to 3/4 inch from Brush Housing (45) side panel.
9. Turn brush assembly and conrm there is no contact between the metal rail of the Brush Section (55) and the Brush Housing (45) side
panel. If there is contact, pull the Brush Section (55) to the right until brush assembly spins freely.
10. Repeat as need for the remaining Brush Sections (55).
Note: This procedure will show an example for right side Brush
Section (55) replacement. Reverse pull directions for left side
Brush Section replacement.
