OPERATION
The operator is responsible for the safe operation of
this equipment. Operators must be instructed in and be
capable of the safe operation of the equipment, its
attachments and all controls. Do not allow anyone to
operate this equipment without proper instructions.
The pick-up broom is designed for removing dust, dirt
and fine debris from a flat, level surface. Debris is
swept into the bucket and can then be carried to a suit-
able location for disposal. Skid steers must be
equipped with an auxiliary hydraulic system capable of
supplying continuous flow for hydraulic motor opera-
tion.
Safety instructions are important! Read all
attachment and power unit manuals; follow all
safety rules and safety decal information. (Replace-
ment manuals and safety decals are available from
your dealer. To locate your nearest dealer, check
the Dealer Locator at www.WoodsEquipment.com,
or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-319-
6637.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules
can result in serious injury or death.
Never allow children or untrained persons to
operate equipment.
Power unit must be equipped with ROPS and
seat belt/operator restraint. Keep seat belt/operator
restraint securely fastened/engaged. Falling off
power unit can result in death from being run over
or crushed. Keep ROPS systems in place at all
times.
Before leaving operator's seat, lower lift arms
and put attachment on the ground. Engage brake,
stop engine, remove key, and remove seat belt.
Never go underneath equipment (lowered to the
ground or raised) unless it is properly blocked and
secured. Never place any part of the body under-
neath equipment or between moveable parts even
when the engine has been turned off. Hydraulic
system leak down, hydraulic system failures,
mechanical failures, or movement of control levers
can cause equipment to drop or rotate unexpect-
edly and cause severe injury or death. Follow Oper-
ator's Manual instructions for working underneath
and blocking requirements or have work done by a
qualified dealer.
