Why does my Westermann WKB 330 brush not sweep correctly?
- A
  Amanda DuffyAug 7, 2025
  If the Westermann Lawn and Garden Equipment brush isn't sweeping correctly, there might be several reasons. First, ensure the brush rotation hand lever is in the neutral position (right). Otherwise, the wire brush braids might be worn and need replacement. Also, check all screws and tighten them if necessary. A defective V-belt or insufficient drive belt pre-tension could also be the cause; inspect the V-belt and tighten the drive belt clamping screw.

  If the brush on your Westermann Lawn and Garden Equipment doesn't rotate or stops with slight resistance, check that the selection lever is in the drive position. Also, inspect the V-belt for any defects and replace it if needed. Insufficient drive belt pre-tension can also cause this issue; tighten the drive belt clamping screw to resolve it.

Why Westermann WKB 330 brush does not rotate despite the selection lever being set?

  Susan BarberAug 27, 2025
  If the brush on your Westermann Lawn and Garden Equipment does not rotate even when the selection lever is set, the belt pre-tension might be insufficient. This can happen if the lever can be pushed past the designated holes. To fix this, adjust the belt tensioner.
