START UP & PROPELLING CAUTION Persons should ride in the seat properly wearing their seat belt whenever the vehicle is moving or in the vicinity of other moving vehicles. Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer serious bodily injury in the event of sudden braking or a collision.
Note: The speed at which this machine is towed depends on conditions and the personal judgment of the individual in charge but must not exceed 45 mph. Broce Manufacturing Co. will not be responsible for neglect or poor judgment at any time during machine operation and/or towing of the machine.
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.

position to the lower position. The core will begin to move downward. Release the handle when the desired height has been achieved. NOTE: The operator must maintain continuous adjustment on the core while the down pressure option is being used. This feature does not allow the core to float over contours in the surface. Therefore, the operator must constantly make these adjustments.
SWEEPING TIPS 1. 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.
More down pressure does not give a result of better sweeping. The broom gets its sweeping action by the flicking action of the bristles. Broce Brooms are equipped with a float detent control valve. This function should be used as often as possible...

MACHINE SERVICE AND SAFETY GUIDELINES 1. Read all decals and manuals before starting and operating this machine. 2. 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. 3.
LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE 1. Grease two steering shaft bearings at the front of the machine every day. 2. 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.
