SNOW SWEEPING The broom works well for light snow removal. Sweep with the wind blowing in the direction of broom discharge (wind in your back). NOTE: Foreign objects in the snow may be thrown faster than the snow itself. Frequently clean the snow and ice accumulation from the top and bottom of the broom hood. LAWN DETHATCHING AND LEAF RAKING: NOTE: It is recommended to use the side wheel support kit (700451) when used for dethatching uneven ground. Lower the broom on a hard surface and lift the brush 1" from the ground by turning the adjusting screw clockwise. The brush is supported by dolly wheels. This adjustment is normally satisfactory but you may raise or lower depending upon grass height. Low brush speed and ground speed is best for lawn dethatching and leaf raking. Never sweep with the sides of bristles Sweep with the tips Do not mop Too much pressure= Shortens brush life Road surface Flick action OPERATION By turning the adjustment screw (item 1) counter clockwise, the gauge (item 2) moves higher and the pressure of the brush on the ground increases. By turning the adjusting screw clockwise, the gauge (item 2) moves lower on the gear box frame and the pressure of the brush on the ground decreases. IMPORTANT: Adjust frequently to compensate for brush wear. Remember to sweep with the tips of the bristles like a broom and not with the sides of the bristles like a mop. Too much pressure can decrease the brush life up to 95%. Adjust the pressure on the brush DANGER Always adjust the pressure on the brush before starting the engine of the accessory. The engagement lever is close to the exhaust pipe, there is a danger of being burnt. DANGER TO PREVENT INJURIES: Be careful of the danger zone when starting or adjusting the pressure on the brush, -Stop the vehicle. -Activate the parking brake. CAUTION Be careful turning the adjustment screw (item 1). The motor and especially the muffler become very hot. ADJUSTING THE PRESSURE OF THE BRUSH ON THE GROUND 15 MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE a) Grease the wheel axles after every eight hours of use. b) Chain: do not lubricate when used in dusty conditions. After use, wash clean and lubricate. c) Adjust the chain frequently by moving the idler sprocket to give 1/2" deflection. d) Frequently clean the interior and exterior of hood, dirt, mud, ice, etc, accumulation adds weight on the brush and could result in premature wear of brush. e) Check mounting bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness to be sure equipment is in safe working conditions. f) Apply oil at all pivot points. g) Inspect the air filter on the vehicle and accessory every day. Clean it or replace it when necessary. Change the oil more often when working in dusty conditions. See the owner's manual for the vehicle the motor and for the accessory. BRUSH REPLACEMENT: See parts breakdown section for parts identification. a) Remove the hood. b) Loosen the chain idler sprocket. c) Remove the bolts from both flangettes that holds the brush hollow shaft. d) Remove the brush hollow shaft from the broom frame. e) Loosen the set screw and remove the right bearing from the brush hollow shaft f) Remove the bolt which retains the brush to the brush hollow shaft. g) Remove the brush tube from axle. h) Install the new brush by reversing the procedure. i) Adjust the tension on the chain by moving the idler sprocket to give a 1/2" deflection on the length of the chain.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTIVE ACTION Brush wears out prematurely or does not wear out evenly. The brush turns jerkily or bounces. The pressure on the brush is not well adjusted. Too much pressure on the brush, it will wear out up to 5 times faster. Reduce the pressure on the brush when on the ground. Adjust when needed to compensate for the wearing out of the brush. Always sweep with the tips of the bristles like a broom and not with the sides of the bristles like a mop. The brush does not sweep well. Debris accumulation. Clean the inside and outside of the hood frequently during operation. Dirt, mud, ice, etc.. accumulation adds weight on the brush and could result in premature wear of the brush. The brush is too aggressive when lawn dethatching or leaf raking. The brush does not turn on the grass. Too much pressure on the brush. Lower the broom on a hard surface and lift brush 1" from the ground by turning the adjusting screw clockwise. Adjust from time to time if necessary. May require a side wheel support kit #700451. The chain wears out prematurely. Inappropriate lubrication. Do not lubricate the chain during operation. Wait until the job is finished. Wash the rotary broom and lubricate the chain.
