Buffer Brush
The buffer brush is made of a long-lasting synthetic bristle, which
under normal circumstances, can be expected to last approximately
18 months. However, changing this annually before each league
season is recommended to ensure consistency throughout the year.
To check the buffer brush
adjustment, the brush must first be
in the down position. This is done
at the INPUT/OUTPUT TEST menu.
If the brush is not already down in
the "zero" position, press BRUSH
LIFT.
Press TEST BUTTON to activate this output. This will lower the buffer
brush into the operating position. If the brush does not stop in the
down position, check the condition of the Brush Down Switch.
With the brush down and the machine standing in the transport
position hold a level or straight edge across the front drive wheels
and rear drive wheels (shown above). The buffer brush material
should extend approximately 3/32" to 3/16" (2.38 mm to 4.76 mm)
beyond the straight edge for proper adjustment. The buffer brush
is factory adjusted prior to being shipped at approximately 1/8" (3.2
mm).
If an adjustment is needed, loosen the four (two on each side)
mounting angle bolts as shown in the picture to the left and the
two mounting plates on the shaft ends.
Then turn the adjusting bolt to set the buffer brush crush by turning clockwise for less or
counter clockwise for more.
Once the buffer brush adjustment has been made, fasten the four mounting angle bolts
tightly and end mounts.
NOTE: When cleaning the buffing brush, NEVER use any type of cleaner on the brush. Use of
cleaners will decrease the brush’s ability to hold conditioner and greatly affect the
lengthwise taper of the conditioner pattern. All that you need to clean the buffer brush is a
clean, soft, dry towel.
