Adjustment of front sweeper

This covers the Kersten  EFKM 750-1250 range of sweepers

The Kersten sweeper is suitable for sweeping many different applications including hard surfaces, sports surfaces, real grass surfaces. The most suitable adjustment height will depend on many factors however a good starting point is illustrated below.

Adjust the two support wheels  (stabilizer) with the help of the rotary handles so that the sweeping brush is in light contact with the surface by 4 cm the whole width of the sweeper.

It is important to keep a consistent setting on both sides of the brush to ensure the brush wears evenly. The  settings of the two sides may be checked using the marking on the height scale graduation.

From this basic setting you may find you are penetrating the surface more or less than required. Use the rotary handles evenly to adjust the brush up or down.

Height adjustment is just one element which affects the performance of the sweeper in each application. Other factors such as brush speed and forwards drive speeds are also very influential factors. Too much engagement with the surface and/or too fast forwards speed can result in stalling of the brush or skipping  on the surface.
