Before starting the skid steer engine with
this broom attached, make sure you are
knowledgeable and comfortable with the
operation of the broom controls as
outlined in the previous and following
sections of this manual.
To begin with, learn what the broom looks
like in a level sweeping position when you
are seated in the skid steer. Knowing
what a level broom head looks like will
help you maximize the efficiency of the
broom.
Always be aware of your surroundings.
While watching the broom, also pay
attention to what obstacles or terrain are
in front, sides of the broom and prime
mover's wheels.
Tilting a
spinning broom too far forward in an
elevated position could result in Minor
or Serious Injury if debris from the
broom is thrown towards the operator.
Broom Tilt Caution
Always operate the broom in a
horizontal position.
Adjusting Broom Height
&
Level
Use the skid steer loader lift to adjust the
elevation of the broom
attachment. The fore & aft leveling can be
accomplished by using the skid steer's
attachment tilt cylinders.
