djust and replace curb brooms. The curb brooms are designed
to move the debris from the curbs to the path of the sweeping
head. As the curb brooms wear, they will require adjustment.
It is necessary to replace the bristles or adjust the curb brooms’
strike pattern (as specified in your sweeper owner’s manual)
to maintain the optimum settings. The curb broom bristles
should be replaced when it is no longer possible to achieve the
strike pattern to clean the curb efficiently.

of the sweeper should be maintained regularly with the correct
viscosity oil, hydraulic filter changes, and pressure settings
to ensure high performance. Replace weak or inoperative
hydraulic components at the first sign of hydraulic pressure
loss. Replacing the hydraulic filter will prevent hydraulic oil
contamination and also return back pressure which will develop
restriction on the hydraulic flow.

nspect the water system. The water system is vital to the life of
the fan due to dusty conditions. A properly functioning water
system will keep the debris moist as it enters the hopper, not
allowing it to stick to the screen, which would restrict air
flow. Also, inspect the water filter daily to make sure it’s kept
clean and that spray nozzles are clear. Repair or replace the

Minimize damage to your dust suppression system. In the winter,
water systems can easily fall victim to freezing temperatures,
especially if your sweeper is not stored in a heated building.
If your machine is left to the elements when not in use, it’s a
