MAINTENANCE / SERVICE
Adjusting The Brush Pressure
WARNING:
Adjusting the
brush too low will
damage the brush
motor and lessen
the cleaning per-
formance.
As the scrub brush
wears, your brush
pressure on the
floor will lessen.
To compensate
for brush wear, adjust the wheels to lower the brush head.
To adjust the brush pressure, tip the machine on its back.
Insert a 5/32 Allen wrench into the wheel block windows. Turn the Al-
len wrench counterclockwise 1 1/2 complete turns. Adjust both wheels
by the same amount.
IMPORTANT:
You must adjust each wheel by the same amount. Failure to
do so will cause un-even brush wear. If you don’t know if the wheels have both
been evenly adjusted, turn the screw as far as you can clockwise, then begin
again to adjust each wheel counterclockwise by the same amount. It is wise,
with each full turn of the screw, to stand the machine back up and check the
brush deflection from the side of the machine.
We recommend one inch of
brush deflection. Check the brush deflection from the sides of the brush
hood while the brush is spinning. Brush deflection means the amount of
the brush touching the floor. It is easiest to see using a flashlight.
