SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
BRAKES
The service brakes are located on the front wheels. They are operated by the brake pedal and the parking brake
lever. Check the Brakes daily for proper operation and inspect the brake pads for wear every 100 hours of
operation.
BRAKE PEDAL ADJUSTMENT
Perform this adjustment to ensure proper pedal height and linkage operation. The brakes are properly adjusted
when the brakes hold the sweeper on an 8 degree ramp. The brakes need adjusted if the Pedal travels closer
than 1 inch to the floor of the operator’s compartment when the brakes are fully engaged.
WARNING
Hopper Could Fall And Cause Serious Injury. Always Engage Hopper Safety Arm Before Working Under Hopper.
