ing performance. Patterns should be checked daily.

A pattern may be wrong because of incorrect broom

downpressure, incorrect broom angle, or excessive

broom wear.

A pattern narrower than that in Figure O-8 indi-

cates that there is too little downpressure, which

will result in poor sweeping performance. A pattern

wider than the diagram indicates excessive down-

pressure, which will cause the broom to wear too

fast.

If a side broom is set too flat, debris will be scat-

tered instead of being directed to the path of the
