EXTENDING BRUSH LIFE
Proper ground speed
Rotary sweepers work best when they use a icking action of the bristles. The broom can sweep de-
bris to a depth of ½ the diameter of the brush or to the point where the frame or shield is in contact
with the debris and causes a restriction in the natural sweeping process. If the ground speed is too
fast the debris may build up in front of the brush causing a wind row effect. The wind row effect will
put excessive side pressure on the bristles and they will break off at the metal ring that holds them in
place.
Always sweep at a brush rotation speed that is high enough and a ground speed that is low enough
to discharge the debris effectively and result in a clean sweeping job.
