An effective brush set-up ensures good
sweeping performance. The following
se
ttings produce excellent results in
most conditions. Experience will
determine if other settings are better
suited to specific conditions.
1. The brush s
hould be angled so
that it sweeps with its outer
leading edge. About 33% (120°)
of its circumference should be in
contact with the road surface.
2. The ski
rt adjacent to the brush,
which positions material for the
suction nozzle, should also be in
good condition and set so that
it just clears the ground.
