MACHINE OPERATION The Broce Broom is hydrostatically driven. The directional control is achieved through the use of a control pedal, located near the operator’s foot. Toe down on the pedal directs the machine forward. Heel down shifts the travel to reverse. Rate of travel is governed by the distance the pedal is de- pressed and the throttle position.
4. After gear selection, raise engine RPM to about half throttle. Release parking brake. Slowly depress control pedal in the desired direction. Engine speed may be adjusted to obtain desired travel speed. 350 SERIES MODEL For parts and service, call: (877) 227-8811...

On machines equipped with an external drive, a-port on the rotation valve flows to the front port on the core drive motor, the rear port flows back to the return manifold, is filtered, and returned to the tank. B-port on the rotation valve is plugged. 350 SERIES MODEL For parts and service, call: (877) 227-8811...
CAUTION Make sure all three valves are in the “OPEN” position before starting the engine. If the return valve is closed, the return filter housing will be destroyed. 350 SERIES MODEL For parts and service, call: (877) 227-8811 Broce Manufacturing 1460 S. 2nd Street | Dodge City, KS 67801...

MAINTENANCE The manufacturer has endeavored to build the Broce Broom as maintenance free as possible. The service points are easily accessible and are similar to those on many types of construction equip- ment. This section will cover many of these points in some detail and will briefly mention those which should be standard on all equipment.
Again, cleanliness must be stressed during this type of maintenance. Contamination of this system will cause pump and/or motor failure. Avoid servicing hydraulic system components in the field where cleanliness of the environment cannot be controlled. 350 SERIES MODEL For parts and service, call: (877) 227-8811...
Both the front suspension and the drive shaft should be serviced every time the engine is serviced. More frequent servicing of these components will extend their life. Lube 350 SERIES MODEL For parts and service, call: (877) 227-8811 Broce Manufacturing 1460 S. 2nd Street | Dodge City, KS 67801...

Seals are often destroyed by over-greasing sealed bearings. ENGINE LUBRICATION Refer to the Engine Manufacturer’s manual (included) for recommendation and procedures for servicing the engine. 350 SERIES MODEL For parts and service, call: (877) 227-8811 Broce Manufacturing 1460 S. 2nd Street | Dodge City, KS 67801...
After alignment, tighten both set-screws and jam nuts as well as the lock collar on the pillow block bearing at the other end of the broom core. 350 SERIES MODEL For parts and service, call: (877) 227-8811...
IMPORTANT Due to the dusty conditions that the Broce Broom operates in, it is recommended that the engine fan inspection and replacement be done every 300 – 400 hours. The dusty operating environment will cause quicker than normal erosion or the fan blades. The fan will need to be replaced when the blades deteriorate to the point that they do not provide enough air-move- ment or they become operationally unsafe.

The ten foot core requires 68 wafers and 66 spacers.
