Introduction
This chapter highlights some of the basic adjustment and maintenance procedures required
to keep the machine performing efficiently. For more detailed information refer to the
Technical Manual.
Channel Brush Adjustment
The brush is supported on a pivoting arm which allows it to float against the kerb and fold
back on impact.
The ‘kick back’ resistance (A) is adjusted by the compression spring nut (B) at the rear of
the brush assembly.
The brush angle adjustment.
Is set, using adjusters (C), so that about 120° of circumference towards front and kerbside
is in contact with the road.
Rubber curtain adjustment.
These should be set just clear of the ground using adjusters (D). Adjustment should be
effected with brush in working position. A cab control is provided to vary the speed of the
brush, also the ground pressure by means of the Powasave control.
EQUIPMENT ADJUSTMENT / MAINTENANCE
Channel Brush Replacement
Removal
It is preferable to have the brush arm in the working position with chassis engine inert and
air supply isolated. Loosen the four flange nuts securing brush stock assembly to the drive
plate. Turn slightly to align nuts with holes in plate and remove brush.
Refitting
Reverse of removal procedure. Any loops of steel tines which project above the head of the
stock should be hammered flush before offering up the brush stock assembly to the driving
plate. Loosen flange nuts on brush stock, align brush with holes in drive plate, rotate in the
opposite direction of brush rotation and tighten nuts.
CAUTION
The use of needle stick gloves is recommended when working with this equipment.
Ensure the auxiliary engine is not running and isolated before brush adjustment or
replacement is attempted.
