SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
THE USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN HAZARDS
WHICH CANNOT BE PROTECTED AGAINST MECHANICAL MEANS OR
PRODUCT DESIGN. ALL OPERATORS OF THIS EQUIPMENT MUST READ
AND UNDERSTAND THIS ENTIRE MANUAL, PAYING PARTICULAR
ATTENTION TO SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, PRIOR TO
USING THE HYDRAULIC ATTACHMENT. IF THERE IS SOMETHING IN
THIS MANUAL YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND, ASK YOUR SUPERVISOR TO
EXPLAIN IT TO YOU. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS CAN RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY OR SERIOUS
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
All bystanders should be kept a minimum of 10 feet (3 meters) away from
working area of the attachment.
PROTECT AGAINST FLYING DEBRIS: Always wear an OSHA approved hard
hat and safety eye protection when operating or servicing this equipment. Do not
wear loose fitting clothing, flopping cuffs, dangling neckties and scarves, or rings and
wrist watches that can catch moving parts.
An operator must not use drugs or alcohol which can change his alertness or
coordination. An operator taking prescription or over-the-counter drugs should seek
medical advise on whether or not he can safely operate equipment.
Never alter or remove any safety decals or shields. Replace all missing or
damaged safety decals or safety shields. Check this manual for location of these
items and replace immediately if damaged or illegible.
Never adjust a relief valve for pressure higher than recommended by vehicle
manufacturer.
Whenever changing or installing this or other attachments, make sure all
connections are securely fastened. Travel only with the attachment in a safe transport
position to prevent uncontrolled movement. Drive slowly over rough ground and on
slopes. Remove attachment from vehicle when transporting to and from job site.
LOWER OR SUPPORT RAISED EQUIPMENT: Before exiting vehicle, lower
attachment to ground, turn off vehicle engine and lock vehicle brakes. Do not work
under raised booms without supporting them. Do not use support material made of
concrete blocks, logs, buckets, barrels or any other material that could suddenly
collapse or shift positions. Make sure support material is solid, not decayed, warped,
twisted, or tapered. Lower booms to ground level or onto blocks. Lower booms and

attachments to the ground before leaving the cab or operator’s station.
Never check a pressurized system for leaks with your bare hand. Oil escaping
from pinhole leaks under pressure can penetrate skin and could cause serious
infection. Hold a piece of cardboard up next to suspected leaks and wear a face
shield or safety eye protection. If any fluid is injected into the skin, it must be removed
immediately by a doctor familiar with this type of injury.
Before disconnecting hydraulic lines or fittings, be sure to relieve all pressure by
cycling all hydraulic controls after shutdown. Remember hydraulic systems are under
pressure whenever the engine is running and may hold pressure after shutdown.
Before applying pressure to the system make sure all connection are tight and that
there is no damage to lines, fittings and hoses.
Flow and pressure gauges, fittings and hoses must have a continuous operating
pressure rating of at least 25% higher than highest pressures of the system.
Avoid steep hillside operation which could cause the vehicle to overturn. Consult
your vehicle operator’s and safety manuals for maximum incline allowable.
Never perform any work on an attachment unless you are authorized and
qualified to do so. Always read the operator service manual(s) before any repair is
made. After completing maintenance or repair, check for correct functioning of the
attachment. If not functioning properly always tag “DO NOT OPERATE” until all
problems are corrected.
This manual covers the safe use, installation, operation and service instructions
for the attachment only. Always read the operating and safety manuals prepared for
your vehicle and any other attachments before using them.

Check Equipment before operation
It is important to check clearance before putting the Sweeper into operation. Make sure
hydraulic hoses are long enough and won’t become pinched or entangled in the equipment.
1. Visually inspect hydraulic hoses for possible pinch points and shortness. If needed, make
hose adjustments before putting equipment into service.
2. Start skid steer/tractor and raise loader arms high enough to tilt the hitch plate fully down
without Sweeper making contact with the ground.
3. Fully extend and retract hydraulic cylinders on the end of the skid steer loader arms while
watching for interferences between skid steer loader and Sweeper frame.
4. Raise skid steer/ loader arms fully up and repeat steps above.
IMPORTANT: Make sure hydraulic hoses are long enough and properly secured so that they
do not become stretched or pinched through their full range of motions.
NOTICE:
■ Maximum oil flow is 25 gpm (94.8 liters/min) at 3000 psi (206.8 bars). See the skid
steer manual for oil flow specifications.
Before Each Use
Run the sweeper with the skid steer at a slow idle. Check for hydraulic leaks or other
problems and make corrections, if necessary, before using the sweeper
During Use
Carry the sweeper low to the ground so that the operator has good visibility and stability. Avoid any
sudden movements. Avoid excessive downward pressure on the brush sections to prevent excessive
wear. A two to four inch wide pattern for the broom is sufficient for most applications. Ensure that the
adjustment bolts are equally adjusted in order to prevent an uneven wear pattern.
5. Rotate top of skid steer loader tilt arms back until Sweeper makes full contact with face of
hitch plate so the lock handles can be engaged.
6. Push lock handles on the skid steer loader hitch down. Make sure lock pins go through
bottom slots in the Sweeper hitch and handles are fully locked down.
The lock pins must be completely extended and secured into the slots provided on the
sweeper.

Operation of sweeping
The sweeper is capable of, and in fact intended to be utilized for, sweeping away dirt, light
snow and other debris. Directions for use are as follows:
1. Start the skid steer at idle speed and raise the brush head.
2. Use low engine speeds to save wear and tear on the sweeper and to prevent dust from
billowing up during sweeping.
NOTE: Do not engage the brush at high engine speeds. This damages the sweeper and
motor.
3. Engage the brush head and lower it to the ground.
4. Gradually increase skid steer engine rpm to sweeping speed.
Travel forward at 5 mph or less.
NOTICE
■Shifting brush rotation from forward to reverse while the brush is rotating damages
the sweeper and motor.
5. When sweeping forward, rotate the brush so debris goes over the brush and into the
bucket.
6. When sweeping in reverse, rotate the brush so debris is pushed into the bucket, similar to
sweeping into a dustpan.
7. If necessary, install or replace plastic ties in flap holes to hold the front and sides together.
SLOW DOWN!!
Directing Debris
Observe wind direction. Sweeping with the wind makes sweeping more effective and helps



WWW.TMGINDUSTRIAL.COM P19/28 Toll Free:1-877-761-2819
keep debris off the operator.
Dirt and 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 gravel, not throw it.
Heavy Debris
For two inches or more of heavy debris, medium/high and ground speeds of less than five
mph are recommended. Sweep path less than the full width of the broom. Increase engine
speed if debris becomes very heavy.
Transporting
Always follow safety rules, carry low to ground and travel slowly.
Only raise a load when dumping.
Dumping Loads
Transport to dumping location before raising. Only dump load while on a firm level surface.
Slowly raise load to required dumping height. Rotate pick-up broom forward to empty the bucket.
