INSTALLATION GENERAL INFORMATION The following instructions will help you to mount your attachment onto your prime mov- er. The attachment uses the quick-attach system for ease of installation. Therefore, if you know how to attach your loader bucket, attaching the attachment should prove no problem. Remember to read all safety warnings, decals and operating instructions before oper- ating the attachment.
OPERATION CONTROLS STARTING AND STOPPING THE SWEEPER The Pick-Up Sweepers use the prime mover hydraulic flow to operate. To start the brush, turn on the prime mover auxiliary hydraulics. To stop the brush, turn off the auxiliary hy- draulic flow. To avoid motor damage, do not stop the sweeper at high engine speed. Decrease engine RPM before turning off the hydraulic flow. TRAVEL DIRECTION Travel should be in the forward direc- tion and brush rotation always away from the operator.
OPERATION INTENDED USE: This sweeper is designed solely for use in construction cleanup, road maintenance and similar operations. Use in any other way is considered contrary to intend- ed use. Compliance with and strict adherence to operation, service and repair conditions, as specified by the manufacturer, are essential elements of intended use.
OPERATION BEFORE OPERATING SWEEPER: • Learn sweeper and prime mover controls in an off-road location. • Be sure that you are in a safe area, away from traffic or other hazards. • Perform all daily maintenance listed in the Maintenance section of this manual. • Check tire pressures and ratings before sweeping. Be sure they match the prime mover load rating.
OPERATION NOTICE! AVOID SWEEPER DAMAGE. Reduce travel speed to avoid hitting immovable objects. OPERATING TIPS NOTICE! Avoid sweeper damage. Do not ram into piles. Use a dozer blade for this type of job. STUCK ON MATERIAL When encountering stuck on material that cannot be removed by the rotating brush alone, the operator may simply back over the material and lower the bucket cutting edge to the ground and scrape the material loose.
OPERATION HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT CAPSCREWS SWING ADJUSTMENT CAPSCREWS To adjust gutterbroom swing: Loosen the nut. Adjust the capscrew (turn it in for more swing or out for less swing). Tighten the nut. When not using the gutterbroom for a short period of time, adjust the tension chain until the gutterbroom is raised 1” - 2” off the ground. When not using the gutterbroom for extended periods of time, unhook the hydraulic hoses from the gutterbroom motor, remove the gutterbroom assembly and connect the hydraulic hoses to run only the main sweeper.
OPERATION Additional Precautions for Long Term Storage: • Touch up all unpainted surfaces with paint to avoid rust. REMOVAL FROM STORAGE: • Wash unit and replace any damage and/or missing parts. • Check hydraulic hoses for damage and replace as necessary. LIFT POINTS Lifting points are identified by lifting decals where required.
OPERATION WARNING! Verify that all tie down accessories (chains, slings, ropes, shackles and etc.) are capable of maintaining attachment stability during transporting and are attached in such a way to prevent unintended disengagement or shifting of the unit. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury or death.
