MAINTENANCE SECTION
LEVELING THE SWEEPER

Leveling

Level the sweeper for even brush wear and effective use.

CAUTION - Avoid injury. Before adjusting the sweeper,
always turn off the sweeper and the prime
mover engine and remove the key.

1. Move the sweeper to a flat, paved surface.

2. Lower the brush head assembly so the brush is 2 inches
(51 mm) above the ground.

3. Engage the parking brake and shut down the prime
mover. Be sure to relieve pressure to the auxiliary hydraulic
lines.

Unfasten safety restraints and exit prime mover.

5. Check if the swing assembly is level by using a bubble
level. To make corrections:

Scissor swing/plate swing on tractor - Turn leveling
bolts(A) (figure 15 and 16) in or out in equal amounts. If
the front of the swing assembly is high, turn the leveling
bolts in. If it is low, turn the leveling bolts out.

Loader with quick attach mounting - Adjust tilt cylinders. If
the front of the swing assembly is high, extend tilt
cylinders. If low, retract cylinders.

RLH/RLCH - Adjust the toplink. If the rear of the swing
assembly is high, lengthen the toplink. If low, shorten the
toplink.

6. Position the brush head assembly straight ahead. On
each side, measure from the brush frame to the ground
(figure 17). If measurements are not equal:

Scissor swing - Turn adjustment screw (B) (figure 15) in to
lower the right-hand side of the brush head assembly.
Turn it out to lower the left-hand side.

Plate swing on Tractor/Loader - Loosen hardware that
attaches the swing assembly to the brush head assembly;
lower the high side of the brush head until both sides are
an equal distance above the ground. Tighten the
hardware.

RLH/RLCH - Raise or lower the adjustable hitch arm.
