Broom Angle

Manual Swivel

desired position and replace the pin.

Toggle the control box broom angle switch left or right
until the desired position is reached and release the switch.

Operating Tips

You can add measurable sweeping hours to your brush by
remembering these simple things:
1. More pressure does not give a better sweep.
2. A level brush lasts longer.
3. Faster ground speed will cause the brush to wear faster.

Ground Speed

Bulldozing produces a side thrust and excessive stress on
the broom. While operating under the plow effect, the
bristles are flexed against the steel ring which holds them
and, eventually, this flexing will break the bristles from the
ring.
Curb Climbing and Trailer
Loading
When climbing curbs or loading the broom on a trailer,
raise the broom to the transport position and drive forward
slowly. The curb or trailer ramp will contact the brush
bristles and raise the broom for proper climbing.
