To change a Kersten sweeper brush on an EFKM model, first identify the right-hand side from the operating position. Use a socket spanner to remove the Brush Centre Bolt and Spring Washer. Then remove the Pulley for the Gulley brush if present, followed by the Bearing Securing Nuts and the Bearing with brush support hubs and flanges. Finally, withdraw the Drive Tube using grips and remove the two brush sections.

The first step when changing a Kersten EFKM sweeper brush is to identify the right-hand side of the sweeper. This identification is crucial and should be done from the operating position before proceeding with the removal of any other components like bolts or pulleys. Accurate initial positioning ensures correct subsequent steps.

To change a Kersten sweeper brush, you will primarily need a socket spanner. This tool is used for removing the Brush Centre Bolt and Spring Washer. Additionally, grips are necessary to withdraw the Drive Tube from the centre of the brush. The instructions do not specify any other tools for this procedure.

When removing the brush sections from the Kersten sweeper, you should first remove the brush section that is furthest from the motor. Once that section is out, the remaining brush section can then be slid sideways away from the motor drive and removed using the same method as the first.

It is also critical to verify that when sliding the Drive Tube back into place, it correctly connects to the square on the drive motor, securing the brush assembly.
