BEFORE OPERATING ADJUST BRUSH DOWN PRESSURE Operating Position Improper downward pressure can decrease brush life up to 95% (depending on the incorrect amount of pressure). Fig. 3 A brush sweeps with the tips of its bristles. When too much down pressure is applied, the brush is no longer using it's tips; the brush is now working with the sides of the bristles. This limits the flicking action of the bristles and limits it's sweeping effectiveness.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING TIPS WARNING Quick Pins DEBRIS HAS CONSIDERABLE FORCE AND COULD CAUSE INJURY. Stay away from sweeping area when machine is operating. Keep bystanders away from sweeping area when machine is running. OPERATION 1. Lower Broom to ground and place lever in float position. 2. Increase engine speed to full throttle position. 3. Engage PTO lever. 4. Drive Tractor at a slow, comfortable speed.

SERVICING BUSHINGS CASTOR FORK SERVICING CASTOR WHEEL AND BEARING After many hours of operation, the bushings pressed into the top and bottom of the frame bracket will wear. To check the bushings, move castor fork fore and aft and from side to side. If castor spindle is loose in the bushings, bushings are worn and must be replaced. The castor wheel rotates on a high-quality sealed roller bearing and is supported by a spanner bushing. Even after many hours of use bearing wear will be minimal.
