OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE
Spraybar Water System
A. Clean the spraybar water system strainer
daily to prevent nozzle clogging.
B. Inspect the spraybar water system daily to
confirm operation of all nozzles on the spraybar.
C. If a spraybar nozzle becomes plugged,
remove it from the bar, clean the nozzle slots, and
replace. You may also pierce the small holes of
the spraybar openings with wire. Be careful not to
ream the nozzle opening as spray pattern will be
affected.
D. At the end of each operating season (or
more often if required), alternately remove the end
caps on the spraybar pipe and flush out the line
and nozzles.
E. For storage in temperatures below
freezing, make sure the water tank, strainer, pump
and all lines are completely drained to prevent
damage from freezing.
Lighting
A. If the broom is equipped with a lighting
system, inspect lights daily for proper operation.
B. If a light or group of lights does not
function:
1. Check the fuse panel located in the front of
the instrument panel for a blown fuse. See
Figure 4-G on page 4-11 for more
information.
2. Examine all visible wiring connections,
making sure that they are securely
fastened.
3. If the light(s) still does not work, remove
the lens from the light and inspect the
bulb(s), replacing any that appear
damaged or discolored.
4. Check lighting mounts for proper grounds.
5. If the trouble is not located, inspect the
wiring harnesses for damage. Wiring
schematics are provided in the Parts
Catalog section of this manual to assist in
troubleshooting the ROSCO Broom's
electrical system.
C. If broken wires are found, it is
recommended that they be soldered together and
covered by a shrink wrap type of plastic covering
(preferred) or electrician's tape to prevent
contamination of the solder joint by moisture.
D. After making repairs to a wiring harness on
the broom, always replace or repair the protective
loom which covers the wiring to prevent future
damage to the wiring harness. Examine the
routing of the harness and make sure it is not
subjected to the type of excessive movement
which causes broken wiring.
