11. A 50 – 76 mm (2 – 3 in) pattern is recommended for
ground contact and allows the tips or ends of the
bristles to dig and break up the debris then throw the
debris off the pavement into the bucket .
12. Excessive down pressure can result in the following
problems which reduce broom performance:
a.
The sides of the bristles trying to dig and break
up the debris and cause increased wear at the
contact point.
b.
The bristles are stressed and can break off in
full length pieces.
