6. Do not allow riders on the broom when
transporting. Death or serious injury can occur if
riders fall off or under the machine while it is in
motion.
7. Clean reflectors and lights before
transporting to help avoid collisions.
8. Do not tow the broom, except to remove it
from the road or load it on a trailer, unless
equipped with optional tow package.
STARTING AND STOPPING
1. Walk around the broom and be sure to warn
all personnel in the area before starting the broom.
Be sure the area is clear before starting. Death
or serious injury can occur to bystanders from
being crushed under a moving machine or being
hit by debris.
2. Adjust, secure and latch the seat and fasten
the seat belt before starting the broom. Start or
operate the machine only from the operator's
seat.
3. Be sure the parking brake is applied and the
Forward/Reverse control is in the neutral position
before starting the broom.
4. Do not bypass the neutral-start system.
The neutral-start system must be repaired if it
malfunctions.
5. Do not operate the engine in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation. Exhaust gases contain
carbon monoxide, an odorless and
deadly poison.
6. Park the broom on level ground whenever
possible. Apply the parking brake. On grades,
park the broom with the wheels securely blocked.
7. Before dismounting from the unit, place the
Forward/Reverse handle in neutral, turn off all
accessories, set the parking brake, shut off the
engine and remove the ignition key.
SAFETY
6. Wear appropriate ear
protection when exposed to loud
noise for prolonged periods of time.
Permanent loss of hearing can result
from prolonged exposure.
7. Do not hurry! Use recommended hand
holds and steps with at least three points of
support when getting on and
off the broom. Keep steps,
floor, hand holds and controls
clean and free from grease.
Face the machine when
climbing up and down and
never jump off or dismount
while the machine is in motion.
PRE-OPERATING
1. Follow the pre-start instructions in the
Operations Section of this manual before
operation. Be sure all controls and gauges are
operating properly before starting a job. Do not
operate the broom if any of the warning buzzers /
lights are "on". If any malfunctions are found prior
to or during operation, shut down the broom and
report the problem to a supervisor.
2. Keep all hydraulic lines, fittings and couplers
tight and free of leaks. Leaking fittings are a fire
hazard. Hydraulic fluid under pressure can pierce
skin, causing serious injury or toxic reaction. Do
not feel for hydraulic leaks with your hands.
3. Clear the area of people before starting or
operating the broom. Death or serious injury can
occur to bystanders from being crushed under a
moving machine or being hit by debris.
4. Know and understand the job site traffic
flow patterns and obey flagmen, road signs and
signals.
5. When transporting the broom, know and
use all required signal devices. Use tail lights,
slow moving vehicle signs and warning beacons
when on public roads. Provide an escort when
necessary.
