anywhere. Make sure the broom is not operating and the machine is
shut off when changing the broom angle manually.
Initial Use (cont.)
If the Angle Broom is equipped with hydraulic angle, with the broom
running in the sweeping direction, engage the electrical controls and
cycle the broom head from side to side and check that the lead hoses do
not bind or catch anywhere. Broom will not angle when the broom is
running in reverse.
Do not store Angle Broom with weight on the wafers as this may deform
the bristles reducing the sweeping efficiency. Use the storage stands to
support the weight of the broom head.
Operation
Always follow safety and operating information in this manual.
Always follow all safety and operating instructions of the loader.
Never remove material deflectors or warning labels.
Never operate Angle Broom unless you have been properly trained.
Make sure all safety labels are in place, look in this manual for their
locations.
Do not sweep toward people, buildings, etc. that may be injured or
damaged by flying debris.
Always relieve pressure before connecting or disconnecting hydraulic
hoses.
Clean any debris from attachment. Pay special attention to any debris
in quick-tach area.
The angle broom is designed to be operated so that the brush sweeps
debris away from the operator (brush spins clockwise when looking from
the motor end). The brush will spin in the opposite direction, but has
limited power when in contact with the ground.
Sweeping Recommendations
Sweep with the wind whenever possible to provide more efficient
operation and keep debris off of the operator.
When sweeping on rough terrain, reduce machine ground speed to
minimize
“bouncing” of broom head.
Debris direction can be controlled by angling the broom head.
Avoid excessive down pressure on the broom head. Brooms sweep
with the tips of the wafers; therefore, the sweeping contact pattern
should be about 2”-4”. Unnecessary down pressure promotes
excessive wear and premature failure of wafers. The weight of the
