SWEEPING PATTERNS
Broom sweeping patterns are a guideline of sweep-
ing performance. Patterns should be checked daily.
The Eagle can produce sweeping paths of two
widths:
With one side broom: 7.5 ft (2286 mm)
With two side brooms: 10 ft (3048 mm)
A pattern narrower than that in Figure O-5 indi-
cates that there is too little broom contact, which
will result in poor sweeping performance.
A pattern wider than the diagram will indicate
excessive broom pattern, which will cause excessive
broom wear.
If a side broom is set too flat, debris will be scat-
tered instead of being directed to the path of the
conveyor. This will result in poor sweeping perfor-
mance.
To check the broom pattern:
1. Reduce engine speed to 1000 rpm.
