STEP 2: 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.
c) 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
9.
