Release the remote trigger, ensuring that the lock pin is firmly seated in one of the locking notches. Figure 6 OS3040 BRUSH HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (Figure 7) DANGER: Avoid injury from rotating parts. ALWAYS shut off engine before adjusting brush height. IMPORTANT: The brush may drive machine rearward if wheel drive is not engaged. Engage brush slowly with brush set at proper height. Adjust caster wheels to 1/8 - 1/4 inch (3 - 6 mm) above surface. For hard surfaces, adjust the caster wheels so that brush just touches surface. To adjust brush height: NOTE: Placing the spacers above the caster arm lowers brush height. Placing the spacers below the caster arm raises the brush height. To change brush height, remove the lock pin from the top of the caster fork. Support and raise the housing slightly, turn the spacers so the open end aligns with the flat cut sides on the caster fork, and then slide the spacers off of the fork. GB - 11
