    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.

    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.
