NOTE: The side broom features a quick release

mechanism which enables the operator to

remove the brush in seconds.

1. Raise the side broom and lock in the RAISE

position.

2. Turn the side broom by hand until the brush

retainer bar is accessible.

3. Lift the bar and turn the broom clockwise (about

one eighth of a turn) until the lock pins in the

broom disengage from the drive plate.

4. Install the new broom by positioning the three

drive pins into the pilot holes of the drive plate.

5. Lift and rotate the broom until the broom retainer

bar springs into the locked position.

6. Check to make sure all three drive pins are

properly engaged.

NOTE: It is not usually necessary to remove the

hopper on high dump models. However,

if it becomes necessary for maintenance

or to install an option, use the following

procedure to remove:

High Dump Hopper Removal

1. Park the machine on a level surface and engage

the parking brake.

hopper dolly, a platform truck or similar four

wheeled cart under the hopper.

3. Set the hopper down on the truck and turn the

engine off.

4. Cycle the rotation control handle (#2) in both
