Break-in and Operation

The PowerBroom works best when its rubber fins can quickly slide or “skim” over the surface being swept. New or replacement sweeper belts tend to grip or drag on hard surfaces, and should be thoroughly broken in or “scuffed” before the broom is actually put to work.

Break-in is easily accomplished by oper- ating the PowerBroom at full throttle for 3 to 5 minutes in loose gravel or similar abrasive material.

Once broken in, a PowerBroom will effortlessly move an amazing variety of materials, ranging from snow or stand- ing water to heavier objects such as gravel or wood chips.

Experience will help you understand the operating principles of the PowerB- room, but safe operation must be prac- ticed from the start.

WARNING!

BURN DANGER! The gearcase will become very hot dur- ing normal operation.

WARNING!

KEEP CLEAR of drum assemblies during starting opera- tions! The drums may rotate during startup.

Optional accessories

Debris shield p/n 99909-33021

A plastic debris shield is available from your Shindaiwa dealer as a useful option to your PowerBroom. The shield helps prevent broadcasting debris when large volumes of material are forced over the top of the drum during operation.

Operating Techniques

Operate the PowerBroom at or near full throttle with its sweeper fins resting on the work surface.

IMPORTANT!

It is both tiring and unnecessary to lift or hold the fins from the work surface during sweeping.

When sweeping narrow areas such as sidewalks, the PowerBroom can be used to throw material directly ahead of the operator. Clearing wider areas may require sweeping at an angle to create windrows to one side of the path being cleared.

Windrows of lighter materials often can be combined into one main row or pile for eventual pickup, while heavy or bulky material may need to be collected row-by-row.

To pull debris from corners, reverse sweeper drum rotation by turning the powerhead over (throttle facing “up”).

WARNING!

Reversing the PowerB- room will cause debris to be thrown back toward the operator. When reversing the PowerBroom, use lower throttle settings and be aware that thrown debris may also affect your footing!
