This procedure is applicable to all types of brooms.
1. Drive the machine on a level floor.

2. Engage the parking brake.
3. Start the machine with the ignition key (85, Battery - 86, Engine).
4. Lower the main broom with the lever (73) and let it run for 1 minute.
5. This allows the broom to polish a “strip” on the floor. After 1 minute, lift the main broom, release the parking brake and move
the machine so that the polished strip is visible.
6. Inspect the polished strip on the floor. If the strip is less than 2 in (50 mm) or more than 3 in (75 mm) wide, the main broom
must be adjusted.
7. To perform the adjustment, open the engine compartment hood (1) by using the release push-button (25). Loosen the knob (A)
and operate on the main broom adjuster (B) by considering the following:
• When turning clockwise, the main broom pressure and pattern is decreased.
• When turning counter-clockwise, the side broom pressure and pattern is increased.
After adjusting, lock the adjuster with the knob (A).
8. Repeat steps 2 to 7 until the polished strip is 2-3 in (50-75 mm) wide.
NOTE
If the print cannot be properly adjusted, because the broom pressure differs from one end to another, see the following
procedure.

FILTER SHAKER OPERATION CHECK [All versions]
1. Drive the machine and start sweeping as shown in the Instructions for use.
Then empty the hopper. When the hopper has been dumped, turn on the filter shaker and check that more dust comes out by
effect of the filter shaker activation. Check for filter shaker operation noise.
PANEL FILTER DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY AND CLEANING [All versions]

The hopper panel filter must be cleaned regularly to maintain the efficiency of the vacuum system. Follow the recommended filter
service intervals for the longest filter life.
WARNING!
– Wear safety glasses when cleaning the filter.
– Do not puncture the filter.
– Clean the filter in a well-ventilated area.
– Wear appropriate dust mask to avoid breathing in dust.
1. Drive the machine on a level floor, engage the parking brake and turn the ignition key (85, Battery - 86, Engine) to “0” and
remove it.
2. Open the latches (A) and lift the front hood (B) then hold it with the support rod (C).
3. Check the dust filter upper part (D) for damage. A large amount of dust on top of the filter is usually caused by a hole in the
filter or a damaged filter gasket.
4. Unscrew the filter shaker assembly mounting knobs (E). Lift the filter shaker assembly (F) to access the filter (D).
5. Lift the filter (D) and remove it from the machine.
6. Clean the filter (D) by using one of the following methods:
Method “A”
Vacuum loose dust from the filter. Then gently tap the filter against a flat surface (with the dirty side down) to remove loose dust and
dirt.
NOTE
Take care not to damage the metal lip which extends past the gasket.
Method “B”
Vacuum loose dust from the filter. Then blow compressed air (maximum pressure 87.0 psi (6 Bar)) into the clean side of the filter (in
the opposite direction of the airflow).
Method “C”
Vacuum loose dust from the filter. Then soak the filter in warm water for 15 minutes, then rinse it under a gentle stream of water
(maximum pressure 36.0 psi (2.5 Bar)). Let the filter dry completely before installing it back into the machine.
NOTE
For proper drying, lay the filter horizontally on two spacers to allow the air to flow under the filter.
NOTE
For a better cleaning, it is allowed to wash the filter with water and non-lathering detergents.
This provides better quality cleaning but reduces the life of the filter, which will have to be replaced more frequently.
Using inadequate detergents can damage the filter.
7. Assemble the filter in the reverse order of disassembly, and note the following:
• Install the filter with the wire gauze up.
• If the filter gasket is damaged or missing, it must be replaced.
NOTE
Before installing the filter, clear debris from dust plate located under filter.
Check that the debris skirt at the rear of the dust plate swings freely.
