INSTALLATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
The following instructions will help you to mount your attachment onto your prime mov-
er. The attachment uses the quick-attach system for ease of installation. Therefore, if you know
how to attach your loader bucket, attaching the attachment should prove no problem.
Remember to read all safety warnings, decals and operating instructions before oper-
ating the attachment. If there is any portion of this manual that you do not understand, contact
your dealer.
INSTALLATION
1. Remove any attachment from the front of the loader.
2. Following all standard safety practices and the instructions for installing an attachment
in your prime mover operator’s manual, install the attachment onto your loader.
WARNING! To avoid serious personal injury, make sure the attachment is securely
latched to the attachment mechanism of your unit. Failure to do so could
result in separation of the attachment from the prime mover.
3. Lower the unit to the ground and relieve pressure to the auxiliary hydraulic lines.
4. Following the safety shut down procedure for your prime mover, shut down and exit the
prime mover.
5. After making sure that the hydraulic couplers are free from any foreign material or con-
taminants, connect the couplers to the auxiliary hydraulic system of your prime mover.
6. Following the standard start up procedure for your prime mover, start the loader. Using
the tilt control roll out the bucket cylinder on the prime mover and check for proper hy-
draulic connection, hose routing and hose length.
7. Attachment installation is complete.
DETACHING
1. Before exiting the prime mover, lower the attachment to the ground, apply the brakes,
turn off the prime mover’s engine, and remove the key.
2. Follow prime mover operator’s manual to relieve pressure in the hydraulic lines.
3. Disconnect power and return hoses from the auxiliary hydraulics.
4. Followyourprimemoveroperator’smanualfordetaching(removing)anattachment.

OPERATION
CONTROLS
STARTING AND STOPPING THE SWEEPER
 ThePick-UpSweepersusetheprimemoverhydraulicowtooperate.Tostartthe
brush, turn on the prime mover auxiliary hydraulics. To stop the brush, turn off the auxiliary hy-
draulicow.Toavoidmotordamage,donotstopthesweeperathighenginespeed.Decrease
engineRPMbeforeturningoffthehydraulicow.
TRAVEL DIRECTION
Travel should be in the forward direc-
tion and brush rotation always away from the
operator. The sweeper can reverse the brush
rotation for end of pass pile clean up or stuck
on material.
END OF PASS - PILE CLEAN UP
During normal sweeping operation, a small pile of material is pushed along in front of
the sweeper. End of pass clean up is one of the two reasons the brush rotation can be re-
versed. Using reverse mode for normal sweeping will NOT clean as well and will result in
premature wear.
To clean up this pile at the end of the sweeping pass, throttle down the prime mover,
dropthebucketcuttingedgetotheground,andchangethehydraulicow(reversingbrush
rotation)andinchforward.Thiswillwispthesmallpileofdebrisintothebucket(similartothat
of a broom and dust pan).
NOTE: Do not forget to lift the bucket approximately 1” and change broom rotation to
the forward direction after pile clean up.
DUMPING
Empty the bucket by raising the sweeper above the container, then dump using the prime mov-
er tilt controls.
WARNING! EXPOSURE TO RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA
DUST ALONG WITH OTHER HAZARDOUS DUSTS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS
OR FATAL RESPIRATORY DISEASE.
It is recommended to use dust suppression, dust collection and if necessary
personal protective equipment during the operation of any attachment that may
cause high levels of dust.
BRUSH SPEED
To increase brush speed, increase prime mover RPM. Use the LOWEST speed needed
to complete the job at hand. In general, half throttle provides the necessary engine speed.

OPERATION
INTENDED USE: This sweeper is designed solely for use in construction cleanup, road
maintenance and similar operations. Use in any other way is considered contrary to intend-
ed use. Compliance with and strict adherence to operation, service and repair conditions, as
speciedbythemanufacturer,areessentialelementsofintendeduse.
ADJUSTING THE SWEEPER BRUSH PATTERN
A properly adjusted brush offers the best sweeping performance. For special applica-
tions or as the brushes wear it may be necessary to adjust the brush pattern.
To check the brush pattern:
1. Movethesweepertoadusty,atsurface.
2. Set the prime movers parking brake and leave
the engine running.
3. Start the sweeper at a slow speed and lower
it so the boom arms bottom out. Run the
sweeper in a stationary position for 10-15
seconds.
4. Raise the sweeper and back away. Lower the
sweeper to the ground, apply the brakes, turn
off the prime mover’s engine and remove the
key. The brush pattern left in the dust should
be 2” - 4” wide, running the full length of the
brush.
5. Adjust the brush pattern as necessary.
NOTICE! To extend brush life make sure bolts on both sides are adjusted evenly.
a. Loosen the bottom 1” nut.
b. Adjustthetop1”nuttosetthepattern.Tighten(clockwise)toincreasepattern.
Loosen(Counterclockwise)todecreasepattern.
c. When the pattern is set, tighten the bottom 1” nut.
d. Adjusttheapssotheyjusttouchtheground.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 until the brush pattern is 2”- 4” wide.

OPERATION
BEFORE OPERATING SWEEPER:
• Learn sweeper and prime mover controls in an off-road location.
• Besurethatyouareinasafearea,awayfromtrafcorotherhazards.
• Perform all daily maintenance listed in the Maintenance section of this manual.
• Check tire pressures and ratings before sweeping. Be sure they match the prime mover
load rating. Weigh sweeper end of prime mover to insure proper tire rating.
• Removefromthesweepingareaallpropertythatcouldbedamagedbyyingdebris.
• Be sure all persons not operating the sweeper are clear of the sweeper discharge area.
• Always wear proper apparel such as a long sleeved shirt buttoned at the cuffs; safety
glasses, goggles or a face shield; ear protection; and a dust mask.
WHILE OPERATING SWEEPER:
• When operating sweeper, adhere to all government rules, local laws and other professional
guidelines for your sweeping application.
• Before leaving the operator’s area for any reason, lower the sweeper to the ground. Stop
the engine, set the brakes and remove the key.
• Usetheslowestrotatingspeedthatwilldothejobtominimizeyingdebris.
• Keep hands, feet, hair and other loose clothing away from all moving parts.
• Leave all shields and safety equipment in place when operating the sweeper.
• Be aware of the extra weight and width a sweeper adds. Reduce travel speed accordingly.
Keep in mind the center of gravity changes when an attachment is installed.
• When sweeping on rough terrain, reduce speed to avoid “bouncing” the sweeper. Loss of
steering can result.
• Never sweep toward people, buildings, vehicles or other objects that can be damaged by
yingdebris.
• Only operate the sweeper from the operator’s station of the prime mover. Seat belt fas-
tened and protective glasses worn. Only operate the controls while the engine is running.
• Operate the sweeper slowly in an open area, check for proper operation of all controls and
all protective devices. Note any repairs needed during operation of the sweeper. Report
any needed repairs.
• Carry sweeper low to ground so operator has good visibility and stability. Avoid sudden
movements from one side to the other side when you carry a sweeper.
• Avoid excessive downward pressure on brush sections to prevent excessive wear. A 2” to
4”(5-10cm)widepatternissufcientformostapplications.Ensurethatmotorandbearing
plates are equally adjusted to prevent uneven wear pattern.
• Observe wind direction. Sweeping with the wind makes sweeping more effective and helps
keep debris off the operator.

18 51-4771
OPERATION
NOTICE! AVOID SWEEPER DAMAGE. Reduce travel speed to avoid hitting
immovable objects.
OPERATING TIPS
NOTICE! Avoid sweeper damage. Do not ram into piles. Use a dozer blade for this type
of job.
STUCK ON MATERIAL
When encountering stuck on material that cannot be removed by the rotating brush
alone, the operator may simply back over the material and lower the bucket cutting edge to
the ground and scrape the material loose. The brush direction may then be reversed to assist
in collecting this material. NOTE: Do not forget to lift the bucket approximately 1” and
change brush rotation to the forward direction after removal of stuck on material.
BRUSH, ENGINE & TRAVEL SPEEDS
Vary brush, engine and travel speeds to match sweeping conditions.
DIRT & GRAVEL
To keep dust at a minimum, plan your sweeping for days when it is overcast and humid
or after it has rained. Also, sweep so the wind blows at your back or in the direction the brush
head is angled.
Low brush speeds and moderate ground speeds work best for cleaning debris from hard
surfaces. Brush speeds that are too fast tend to raise dust because of the aggressive sweeper
action. To sweep gravel, use just enough brush speed to “roll” the gravel, not throw it.
HEAVY DEBRIS
 For2”(51mm)ormoreofheavydebris,amaximumbrushspeedinthelowrangeand
groundspeedsoflessthan5mph(8kph)arerecommended.
OPTIONAL GUTTERBROOM OPERATION
The gutterbrooms are designed for sweeping for-
ward only. When sweeping next to curbs or walls with a
gutterbroom, only the bristle tips should touch the vertical
surface. When the gutterbroom height is properly adjust-
ed, bristles contact the ground as shown.
To adjust the gutterbroom height:
1. Lower the gutterbroom to the ground.
2. Loosen the hardware holding the gutterbroom mo-
tor mounting plate.
3. Turn the motor mounting plate to the left or right.
4. Adjust the tension chain so it holds the gutterbroom in place.
5. Tighten the hardware holding the motor mounting plate.
A properly adjusted gutterbroom extends the main brush’s sweeping path, leaving no
streaks between the two paths. For this to happen the inside edge of the gutterbroom brush
pattern must line up with the outside edge of the sweeper brush pattern.

OPERATION
To adjust gutterbroom swing:
1. Loosen the nut.
2. Adjustthecapscrew(turnitinformoreswingoroutforlessswing).
3. Tighten the nut.
When not using the gutterbroom for a short period of time, adjust the tension chain
until the gutterbroom is raised 1” - 2” off the ground. When not using the gutterbroom for
extended periods of time, unhook the hydraulic hoses from the gutterbroom motor, remove the
gutterbroom assembly and connect the hydraulic hoses to run only the main sweeper.
OPTIONAL DUST SUPPRESSION
The dust suppression systems are available for a 12 Volt or 24 Volt system and both
containa25gallonwatertankandenoughnozzlesandhosetousewithorwithouttheoptional
gutterbrooms.
STORAGE
NOTICE! Do not store the sweeper with weight on the brush. Weight will deform the
bristles, destroying the sweeping effectiveness. To avoid this problem,
place the sweeper on blocks or use storage stands.
Do not store polypropylene brushes in direct sunlight. The material can
deteriorate and crumble before the bristles are worn out.
 Keeppolypropylenebrushmaterialawayfromintenseheatorame.
• Clean the unit thoroughly, removing all snow, dirt and grease.
• Inspect for visible signs of wear, breakage or damage. Order any parts required and make
the necessary repairs to avoid delays upon removal from storage.
• Tighten loose nuts, capscrews and hydraulic connections.
• Seal hydraulic system from contaminants and secure all hydraulic hoses off the ground to
help prevent damage.
• Store unit in a dry and protected place. Leaving the unit outside will materially shorten its life.
• Do not store unit with weight on brushes. Place the unit on blocks or use storage stands.
