NOTE: The operator must maintain continuous adjustment on the core while the down pressure op-
tion is being used. This feature does not allow the core to oat over contours in the surface. There-
fore, the operator must constantly make these adjustments. If the broom core is forced too close
to the ground, the bristles will not have the “icking” action which is necessary to do the proper
sweeping job. This is why the oat is recommended during all but the heaviest sweeping conditions.
IMPORTANT: OVER USE OF THE POSITIVE DOWN PRESSURE FEATURE WILL CAUSE EXCESSIVE
WEAR AND SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE BROOM.
Right / Left Angle
The core may be set at any angle from 40° left to 40° right. Move the joystick to the right and it
moves the core towards the right rear wheel, likewise for the left. Release the handle when the de-
sires angle is achieved.
Broom on / Broom off / Broom speed
The core motor is activated with the handle to the right and is moved to the front, “ROTATION ON”
position and turned off when the handle is moved back, “ROTATION OFF” position. Turf Boss ma-
chines have variable brush speed controlled by a dial on the dash panel.
SWEEPING TIPS
1. If the broom starts to hop or bounce, the propelling speed is too high. Slow the machine down,
but maintain high engine speed. This will allow you to do a good job on the rst pass and you
will not need to go over it again.
2. In areas where the dirt is caked, try to clean the sweeping surface by going over it a second or
third time. If this does not clear the dirt, use the Positive Down Pressure feature, although in
most cases, the oat position will yield the best results.
3. When changing the direction of travel, for example, backing up to sweep a spost which was not
cleared the rst time, always allow the machine to come to a complete stop before moving the
shift lever in the opposite direction. This will help eliminate break downs and costly down time.
4. If the dust cloud becomes so thick that your vision is obscured, use the water sprinkling system
or stop the machine until the dust clears. If possible, angle the sweeper so that the dust and
debris is swept downwind.
5. Always wear eye protection, hearing protection and dust mask for respiratory irritants.
WARNING
OPERATOR MUST BE AWARE OF ANY PEOPLE OR PROPERTY WHICH MAY BE IN THE PATH
OF FLYING OBJECTS CAST BY THE ROTATING BRUSH. FLYING OBJECTS CAN CAUSE INJU-
RY OR DEATH.
