STORAGE
CAUTION
Keep brush away from intense heat or flame. Brush material can ignite and burn.

NOTICE
■Do not store polypropylene brushes in direct sunlight. The material can deteriorate and crumble before the bristles are worn out.
■Do not store the broom with weight on the brushes. Weight will deform them, destroying the sweeping effectiveness. To avoid this problem, place broom on blocks.
Inspect the broom thoroughly and prepare for storage. Repair or replace any damaged components.
Remove the broom as described in Remove Broom from Skid Steer, page 15. Place on blocks to prevent brush damage. Clean and cover hose ends, fittings, and hydraulic ports.
