Rotary Broom
1.Park the tractor on a level surface and lower the rotary broom.
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to remove the rotary broom with the tractor engine running. Disengage the PTO clutch, stop the en- gine and remove the ignition key. Wait for all movement to stop before getting off the seat.
To prevent accidental engine starting, dis- connect the fuel solenoid wire [diesel en- gines] or the spark plug wire(s) [gasoline engines].
2.Extend the parking stands to raise the broom to the transport position (so that the bristles do not contact the ground).
3.Remove the hairpin from the welded sleeve on the RH side of the broom mounting bracket. Set the pivot lock pin in the innermost position (it may be necessary to lift the broom head slight- ly), and lock in place with the hairpin.
IMPORTANT: Once the broom is fully remounted, the pivot lock pin should be set in its most extended position in order to allow the broom to follow varying ground contours.
4.Carefully lower the broom so that it rests on the parking stands.
5.Disconnect the broom driveline from the tractor PTO shaft and place the driveline on its support (located on the female hitch).
6.Remove the linchpin from the quick hitch latch. Place the hitch locking lever in the UNLOCKED position.
7.Start the tractor engine and carefully back the tractor away from the broom.
