Replacement Filament Installation - Toro 38700 Service Manual

Replacement Filament Installation

1. Stand broom shaft on one end. Begin adding
replacement filaments.
NOTE
Make sure to place each section onto the broom shaft
so that the 2 locator pins are on each side of the tube
frame, and the first filament is offset toward the center of
the gearbox.

2. Continue to add replacement sections, alternating
locator pins to the next shaft tube as you place
additional sections (Fig. 009).

3. Locate the filament retainer plate over the end of the
broom shaft. Align the filament retainer plate over
the broom shaft tubes. Install 3 retainer plate bolts.
NOTE
It may be necessary to flatten the last filament for
installation. Lay the filament section on a flat surface and
tap the high offset down slightly with a hammer. Only
flatten the broom section a little at a time to the point of
the retainer bolts making contact with the welded nuts.
Tighten the bolts evenly, ensuring the brush section is
not being pinched between the retainer plate and the
shaft assembly. Torque all bolts to 26 ft - lbs (35.25 Nm)
(Fig. 010).
