BROOM ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the broom height when the bristles are worn or when their
efficiency is compromised.
1. Adjust the height of the main broom (9) with the two knobs (7).
When turning them, each step on the marked numbers amounts to
a broom lowering.
Check that the two knobs (7) are on the same marked number.
Otherwise there will be a difference in the longitudinal pressure of
the broom.

turning them counter-clockwise, each step amounts to a broom
lowering.
After the adjustment, push the machine to check that it moves smoothly,
without difficulty or resistance. Otherwise, repeat the broom adjustment
procedure.
If the brooms are too worn, replace them.
