Setup and Adjustments

SETUP

Proper setup and leveling of your power broom will

increase the life of the brush and produces more

efficient movement of material. Visually inspect the

adjustments on the broom before each operating

session and measure the adjustments once every 10

hours.

The following procedures must be followed in the

prescribed order in order to be effective.

Once the broom has been properly adjusted, a short

operation period is recommended for break-in;

approximately 15 minutes. After this break-in period

repeat the leveling procedure to ensure that it is correct.

Mounting instructions can be found either in an

installation pamphlet or in the back of this manual.

LEVELING

•After the broom is mounted to the tractor, loader,

mower, or skid-steer, park the unit on a flat level

surface; preferably concrete or asphalt.

•If mounting to a skid-steer, lower the arms all the way

down and tilt the quick-attach all the way back.

•If mounting to a loader, tilt the bucket cylinders all the

way back and lower the arms until the horizontal

mounting shaft is 18” from the ground. If there is a

way to set this location on the loader hydraulics, do

so at this time.

•If mounting to a mower, set the down limit location so

that the horizontal mounting shaft is as close to 18”

as it can be. Because of the constrained spaces on

some mowers it maybe necessary that the shaft is

higher or lower.

•*Note* - occasionally the horizontal mounting shaft is

replaced by pins or bolts based on mounting.

•Swing the broom so that it is horizontal and tighten

the pattern adjustment nuts all the way down. (See

Illustration A)

•Adjust the swing frame so that it are level by adjusting

the bolts in or out on the back of the swing frame.

(Refer to Illustration A) Adjust both bolts evenly to

maintain an even load on the mounting frame and the

arms. Check to see that the frame is level by placing

a small torpedo level vertically on the swing frame or

horizontally on the pivot frame.

•Recheck for level after any other adjustments,

including pattern adjustment. If the broom is still level

continue to Pattern Adjustment. If not, re-start the

process of leveling.

PATTERN ADJUSTMENT

•After the broom has been leveled, the last adjustment

is to set the brush pattern. This adjustment is located

at the top of the broom. (Refer to Illustration A)

•With the unit set-up on a flat level surface adjust the

nuts on the top of the anchor so that the broom has

approximately 3” of contact from the front-most

contact point to the rear-most contact point.

Loosening the nuts will create more pattern.

•Once this adjustment is set, it can be confirmed by

running the unit for about 30 seconds in the down

position while stationary. Stop the broom and back

the unit away. The ‘cleaned’ portion of the surface

should be 2”-4”.

ILLUSTRATION A

General Operation

PRE-STARTUP CHECKS

1) Visually inspect equipment and hardware to ensure

that all parts are secure and all hardware is

tightened and secure.

2) Check for oil leaks and loose hose connections.

3) Inspect the broom adjustments to ensure that the

broom is level and that there is proper brush

pattern.

4) Inspect the bristle length to determine is

replacement segments are needed.

OPERATION

•Sweep at a speed that is appropriate for the

conditions and location.

•For heavy material such as gravel or stones, drive

more slowly with high broom speed. For lighter

material, drive faster with lower broom speed.

•It may be necessary to increase broom pattern under

some conditions. If the surface being swept is uneven

and causes the broom to leave upswept patches,

increase the pattern to compensate.

•If the material being swept is dried-on or difficult to

remove such as mud or ice, it may be necessary to

drive extremely slow to allow the broom to “scrub” the

surface.

STORAGE

•Always store the broom in a supported position with

the bristles off the ground. If the bristles are stored in

a deformed position for extended periods of time the

broom will become severely out of balance.

•Store the broom in a location out of the sun and

weather to prevent premature failure of plastic

bristles. Bristles can become brittle when subjected to

sunlight or repeated temperature changes.

•Disconnect all electrical connections between the

broom and tractor for extended storage to prevent

battery drain.

•Properly clean the unit before storage and remove

dirt, debris, salt, etc. to extend paint life.

•If the unit is power-washed, all lubrication points

should be greased before storage.

Warning

Oil escaping under pressure can puncture the skin and cause serious

injury. Do not touch any hydraulic components until the tractor engine has been turned off and

hydraulics disconnected. Before startup, check for loose hydraulic connections.

Maintenance

FILLER REPLACEMENT

CORE REMOVAL

•Lower broom until brush contacts the ground via

hydraulic lift cylinder or mechanical head anchor.

•Remove bolts attaching motor guard to the brush

frame. Remove guard and set aside.

•Remove (2) ½” bolts attaching motor mount plate to

the brush frame. Slide motor out of mating splined

hub. Let motor hang on hoses.

•Remove hardware holding pillow block bearing to

bottom of brush frame. Complete steps 2 thru 4 on

both ends of core.

•Slide core out the front of broom.

BRUSH REMOVAL

•Remove (3) ½” bolts attaching splined hub to end of

core. Remove hub and set aside.

•Remove (3) or (4) bolts attaching wafer retainer plate

(end disc) to end of core. Set retainer and hardware

aside.

•Slide spent filler and spacers off core and discard.

BRUSH INSTALLATION

•Stand core in upright position and begin filling the

core by sliding an individual segment and spacer

down the full length of the core starting with a poly

segment. Note the location of the drive pin on the

inside ring of each segment. Be sure to rotate each

segment so the position of the pin is on a different

side of the core with each segment being installed.

This will help to insure proper balance on the core.

•Continue stacking the core in a segment-spacer,

segment-spacer configuration until it is full ending

with a segment. Always start and finish with a poly

segment.

•The last segment should actually extend beyond the

end of the core (Minimum ½”) so when the end disc is

installed it compresses the filler onto the core when

the bolts are tightened.

•Install end disc to the end of the core and secure with

original bolts.

•Reinstall splined hub and bearing.

CORE INSTALLATION

•Position refilled core in front of the broom head. Lift

the broom head high enough to place the filled core

back into its original position. Once in place, lower

broom head down onto the pillow block bearing at

each end of the core.

•Reverse steps 2 – 4 from core removal section to

complete reinstallation. Note: Apply grease or anti-

seize to splines before installing hydraulic motors.

•Before placing machine back into service, adjust and

test for proper amount of brush pattern. Excessive

pattern can cause brush failure or premature wear.
