Checking the Sweeping Path

A broom sweeps with the tips of its bristles. When too
much down pressure is applied, the broom is no longer
using its tips; the broom is now working with the sides of
the bristles. This limits the flicking action of the bristles,
sweeping effectiveness, and can decrease broom life.
1. Drive to a flat dusty area and stop the machine.
2. With the engine running move the throttle midway
between Slow and Fast. Engage the broom and
allow the broom to sweep for approximately
30 seconds.
3. Disengage the broom and stop the engine.
4. Wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
5. Turn the engine On/Off switch to the Off position.
