Large areas
For uneven or dirt surfaces, reduce speed to avoid jogging the brush and damaging it.
Sweep creating a central passage dividing the area in 2 parts and then sweeping the remaining
areas. This reduces the load on the brush.
Snow
Snow is removed more easily when it is still fresh. Pass back over the already cleared zones to
remove snow residue.
If possible, clear the snow in the direction of the wind. Check the distance and the direction of
the removed snow.
Reduce the engine rotations before stopping it.
Dirt & Gravel
To reduce the amount of duct lifted when sweeping, work at low brush speed. If possible, also
work on damp or cloudy days or after it rains.
For gravel, adjust the height of the brush to avoid throwing them and causing potential
damages.
Heavy Debris
Reduce forward speed and work without using the entire machine working width.
WARNING
SAFELY OPERATE EQUIPMENT
Do not operate equipment until you are completely trained by a qualified operator in how to use the
controls, know its capabilities, dimensions, and all safety requirements.
Keep all step plates; grab bars, pedals, and controls free of dirt, grease, debris, and oil.
Never allow anyone to be around the equipment when it is operating.
Do not allow riders on the attachment or the prime mover.
Do not operate the equipment from anywhere other than the correct operators position.
Never leave equipment unattended with the engine running or with this attachment in a raise
position.
Do not alter or remove any safety feature from the prime mover or this attachment.
Know your work site safety rules as well as traffic rules and flow. When in doubt on any safety
issue, contact your supervisor or safety coordinator for an explanation.
WARNING
IN AN EMERGENCY, RELEASE LEVERS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND STOP THE ENGINE.
Height adjustment of Caster Wheels & Brushes
Once the brushes get worn it is necessary to adjust the height of the
brushes, i.e. how close they are to the surface to sweep. This adjustment
takes place by moving the plastic rings of the brush caster wheels. See
as follows:
1. Loosen the side knob (fig. 10.A);
2. Rotate the upper knob (fig. 10.B) in clockwise / anticlockwise to lift /
lower the small wheels;
3. Fix the side knob (fig. 10.A);
