STEP

ATTACHING

BROOM

TO TRACTOR

a) Insert driveline

half (with quick connect

yoke) over broom driveline half. Set

driveline on its support.

NOTE:

Driveline sliding surfaces must be
greased.

b) Insert male quick hitch (fig.3, item 1)

into broom female

hitch (fig.3,

item 2)

and

place male quick hitch lever (fig.3,

item 3) fully forward

in "locked" position.

Secure male quick hitch latch with the

linchpin.

Connect broom driveline to tractor PTO
shaft by sliding back the locking collar
on yoke, then push over PTO shaft until
the locking collar snaps back fully.

Make sure driveline is

well secured at

both ends.

This shaft turns at very high

RPM. If

the collar is not 1ocked to the PTO

shaft at the tractor end, or if the yoke at
the broom end is not secured properly, the

driveline can fly loose with great force

capable of causing serious injury or death.

d) Remove hair pin (fig.4, item 1) from

welded sleeve on right hand

side of broom

mounting bracket. Carefully pull out the

pin (fig.4, item 2) to its most extended
position and lock in place with same

hair

pin.

The

pin in

the inmost position

is used to prevent female hitch on

broom from being pulled

up by the

brush ground contact adjustment

spring, thus facilitating mounting
and dismounting of broom.

e) Correct

all adjustment settings on page
