WARNING
BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS:
Stop the motor.
Apply parking brakes.
Remove the ignition key.
Disconnect the wire from the spark plug(s) and
keep away from spark plug(s) to prevent accidental
starting.
ROTARY BROOM ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
By turning the handle counter clockwise you unlock the
latch and by pulling or pushing, you set the angle 0° to
20° on each side.
PRESSURE ON THE BRUSH ADJUSTMENT
By turning the adjustment screw (item 1) counter
clockwise, the gauge (item 3) moves higher and the
pressure of the brush on the ground increases. By
turning the adjusting screw clockwise, the gauge
moves lower on the gear box frame (item 2) and the
pressure of the brush on the ground decreases.
IMPORTANT: Maintain the gauge (item 3) even with
the top of the gear box frame (item 2) or lower for
general hard surface sweeping. Adjust frequently to
compensate for brush wear. Remember to sweep
with the tips of the bristles like a broom and not with
the sides of the bristles like a mop. Too much
pressure can decrease the brush life up to 95%.

OPERATION
TO
PREVENT
TRACTION WHEN USING AN ACCESSORY:
-Rear counterweights of 100 lbs. minimum are
required to counter-balance accessory's weight.
-Tractor manufacturer approved tire chains are
required.
-Do not operate on slopes greater than 10°.
When dismounting an accessory remove rear
counterweights.
GENERAL SWEEPING
Minimize dust by reducing brush speed and by
sweeping after rain or on a day with high moisture.
SNOW SWEEPING
Adjust the gauge (item 3) to be even with the top of
gear box frame. The broom works well for light snow
removal.
Sweep with the wind blowing in the direction of broom
discharge.
NOTE: Foreign objects in the snow may be thrown
faster than the snow itself.
Frequently clean the snow and ice accumulation from
the top and bottom of the broom hood.
LAWN DETHATCHING AND LEAF RAKING:
Lower the broom on a hard surface and lift the brush
1" from the ground by turning the adjusting screw
clockwise. The brush is supported by dolly wheels.
This adjustment is normally satisfactory but you may
raise or lower depending upon grass height.
Low brush speed and ground speed is best for lawn
dethatching and leaf raking.
Never sweep with the sides of
bristles!
Too much pressure=
Shortens brush life!
