START UP & PROPELLING CAUTION: OPERATOR MUST BE SEATED WITH SEAT BELT PROPERLY SECURED WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING. This model of broom is hydrostatically driven. Motion is achieved by depressing the foot pedal on the floor board to the right of center. Letting the foot pedal up will result in a braking action caused by the hydraulic system.
TOWING PROCEDURES 1. Before towing this machine check the following: A. The tires should be inflated to 32 PSI and be in good condition. B. Any loose items on the machine should be removed or secured. C. Check to see that all the lug nuts/bolts are tight on the wheels and that the wheels are in good condition.
OPERATION OF THE SWEEPING CORE All functions of the sweeping core are hydraulically operated. Two control valve handles are mounted to the right of the operator’s seat for controlling these functions. The Joystick controls the core height up down and the right and left angle of Broom. The handle beside it controls the operation of the core motor.
SWEEPING TIPS If the broom starts to hop or bounce, the propelling speed is too high. Slow the machine down, but maintain high engine speed. This will allow you to do a good job on the first pass and you will not need to go over it again.
EXTENDING BRUSH LIFE BRUSH DOWN PRESSURE Most problems of rapid wear, bristle breakage and loss are attributed to excessive down pressure. If the proper down pressure is used, the sweeping efficiency will improve and bristle life will be extended considerably. More down pressure does not give a result of better sweeping. The broom gets its sweeping action by the flicking action of the bristles.

MACHINE SERVICE AND SAFETY GUIDELINES Read all decals and manuals before starting and operating this machine. Do not operate or make any adjustments or repairs if the Parking Brake does not hold machine. Repair the Parking Brake first, before making any other repairs or adjustments to this machine. Always set Parking Brake before starting and after stopping engine on this machine.
LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE 1. Grease two steering shaft bearings at the front of the machine every day. The front wheel bearings should be cleaned and packed every six months. 3. The tires on the front and rear of the machine should be kept at 32 psi and should be checked on a daily basis.
BRAKE INSPECTION AND SERVICE This machine is equipped with dynamic hydraulic braking, conventional hydraulic brakes and a mechanical Parking Brake. The dynamic hydraulic braking will be in operation any time that the engine is running. When the foot pedal is released, the hydraulic system provides enough braking action that the conventional foot pedal brake should not have to be used.
ENGINE The normal engine operation and maintenance procedures are covered in a separate manual, which is furnished by the engine manufacturer. We do suggest, however, due to the dusty conditions in which these machines operate, that engine fan inspection and replacement should be accomplished more frequently than the engine manufacturer may suggest.
