EXTENDING BRUSH LIFE
Brush down pressure
Most problems of rapid wear, bristle breakage and loss are attributed to excessive down pressure.
If the proper down pressure is used, the sweeping efciency will improve and bristle life will be
extended considerably. More down pressure does not give a result of better sweeping. The broom
gets its sweeping action by the icking action of the bristles.
Broce Brooms are equipped with a oat detent control valve. The function should be used as often
as possible for optimum sweeping and longer brush life.
When too much down pressure is used, the side of the bristle is in contact with the working surface
and very little icking action is present to give a good clean sweep.
Set broom down pressure to maintain sweeping pattern as shown, approximately 5-6 inch width.
Keeping broom level
Running the broom core out of level will result in a poor sweeping job and a shortened wafer life.
Check the broom core for levelness every day it is to be used.
There are three things to look for if the broom core is not level.
1. Make sure both of the rear tires are inated to the same pressure. Both rear tires should be the
same brand and size to help in keeping the machine level.
2. Check the frame and make sure it is not bent.
3. Make sure the hanger bearing hub bolts are tightened evenly and the hub bearings are adjust-
ed properly.
