OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Parking Stand
IMPORTANT:
Before operation, make sure the
parking stands have been secured in the operating
position.
1. With the operator in the seat of the loader, the
seatbelt fastened, and the seat bar lowered (if so
equipped), start the engine.
2. With the loader arms fully lowered, position the
attachment flat on the ground. Engage the
auxiliary hydraulics in continuous flow mode to
start the bristle rotation, and drive the loader
forward to sweep.
NOTE:
Broom rotation should always be such
that the material is swept away from the operator.
3. The torsion suspension will keep the down
pressure on the broom consistent, which allows
the broom to float. If more or less down pressure
is required, pressure can be adjusted by tilting the
attachment forward or back.
IMPORTANT:
Excessive down pressure will
cause premature bristle wear or breakage.
NOTE:
The down pressure on the broom
determines the broom contact area on the surface,
or the length of bristle contact with the surface.
Use the correct down pressure for the situation.
For dirt and debris removal, a 2.0 to 4.0 inch
contact area is recommended. This allows the
bristle tips to dig, break up, and throw material.
For snow removal, a 4.0 to 6.0 inch contact area
is recommended.
