OPERATION
OM 0361BR-AC 17
Transport Mode
(Figures 5-12)
During travel, the broom must be placed in
transport mode. To do so, move the
engagement levers (fig. 12, item 1) towards
the front in the furthest notches and raise the
broom with the tractor's hydraulic lever.
Note
: If you find the broom doesn't rise
sufficiently, lower the broom to the ground,
take the engagement levers apart and attach
the tension springs (fig. 5, items 5 & 9) in
another link therefore making the chain
shorter. Reinstall the levers as explained in
steps 5 and 6 of the section "Installation of
the Tension Springs".
Ground Pressure Adjustment
(Figures 12-12a)
1. Make sure the pressure of the tractor tires
is properly adjusted.
2. Find a hard and dirty surface. With the
brush off the ground, engage the broom,
lower the brush to the ground and let it turn
5 to 10 seconds without moving. Raise the
brush off the ground, disengage the broom
and wait till the brush stops turning
completely.
3. Back away the tractor and turn the engine
off.
4. Measure the path cleaned. If the brush is
adjusted properly, the path is between
3 1/4" and 3 3/4" wide (83 and 95mm) and
both sides of the path are parallel.
5. To adjust ground pressure, simply raise the
engagement lever (item 1), move it forward
or backward in the notches (item 2) of the
tension adjustment box. To reduce ground
pressure, move the engagement lever
toward the front of the broom. To increase,
move towards the rear of the broom. Make
sure the weight is evenly distributed on
both sides. An asymmetric adjustment may
be necessary to counterbalance the weight
of the broom and the ground pressure.
NOTE
: Attach the spring in another chain link
if the engagement levers (item 1) cannot be
set to obtain a proper adjustment. Shorten the
chain if the path cleaned is wider than 3 3/4"
and lengthen the chain if it's narrower than
3 1/4". See the section "Installation of the
Tension Springs" to make this adjustment.
NOTE
: Further adjustment will be necessary to
compensate for brush wear.
