Strap and Hanger
p/n 22410-17201 and 60840-98020 (optional)
Although a strap and hanger is not required for use with a Shindaiwa PowerBroom
Tool, it is recommended to reduce operator fatigue during extended periods of opera-
tion.
Make sure all hooks and adjusting devices are secure. Adjust the harness shoulder
strap so the shoulder pad rests comfortably on the off-side shoulder. See Figure 9.
Debris Shield
p/n 99909-33021 (optional)
A plastic debris shield is available from your Shindaiwa dealer as a useful option
to your PowerBroom. The shield helps prevent broadcasting debris when large
volumes of material are forced over the top of the drum during operation. See
Figure 10.
Operation
Starting and Fueling
For detailed instructions on general safety procedures, fueling, starting, and stopping the Shindaiwa Multipurpose Tool Car-
rier, refer to the appropriate Owner's Manual for your model machine.
WARNING!
KEEP CLEAR of drum assemblies during starting operations! The drums may rotate during startup.
Break-in and Operation
The PowerBroom works best when its rubber fins can quickly slide or "skim" over the surface being swept.
New or replacement sweeper belts tend to grip or drag on hard surfaces, and should be thoroughly broken in or "scuffed"
before the broom is actually put to work.
Break-in is easily accomplished by operating the PowerBroom at full throttle for 3 to 5 minutes in loose gravel or similar
abrasive material. Once broken in, a PowerBroom will effortlessly move an amazing variety of materials, ranging from snow
or standing water to heavier objects such as gravel or wood chips.
Experience will help you understand the operating principles of the PowerBroom, but safe operation must be practiced from
the start.

WARNING!
BURN DANGER! The gear case will become very hot during normal operation.
