WARNING
Contact with moving parts of main broom
drive can cause severe injury. Do not attempt
repairs with engine running.
3. Drive the sweeper forward to allow brooms to
attain proper sweeping position.
4. Visually inspect the rotation of the main broom
between the dirt shoes.
The ground clearance of the dirt shoes during
transport is set by the airbags. Dirt shoe ground
clearance should be approximately 8 inches (30
cm).
If the transport position of the dirt shoes is not 8
inches:
1. Adjust the lift pin roller to the bottom of the
slot at the center of the tow bar weldment.
2. Adjust the arm bracket to level the dirt shoe.
3. Check the pivot to ensure that it is not binding.
An improperly adjusted dirt shoe may cause the
shoe to nose dive during transport.
DIRT DEFLECTOR
A centerboard dirt deflector runs under the center
of the Eagle between the side brooms and main
broom. The deflector provides better sweeping by
preventing material swept by the side brooms from
being thrown beyond the reach of the main broom.
Adjusting chains are used to keep the deflector in
the proper position with the rubber portion in con-
tact with the street while in sweeping mode.
The dirt deflector should be inspected regularly and
changed if damaged or worn.
