MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND STORAGE
1. Never store the tractor with fuel in
the fuel tank inside a building where
open flames or sparks are present.
Allow the engine to cool before storing
in any enclosure.
2. Avoid exposing broom bristles to
direct sunlight for long periods. Long
exposure to direct sunlight will damage
the bristles.
3. Provide adequate blocking before
working under the broom.
4. Because of dust raised when sweeping
(other than snow), the tractor air
cleaner should be checked daily and
replaced when necessary.

8 hours of operation and before
operation.
6. Do not alter or modify the broom. If
you have any questions, contact your
dealer.
LUBRICATION
1. GEARBOX: Check liquid grease level
in the worm gear drive every week; run
the broom a minimum of 15 minutes to
warm up the liquid grease, and make
sure gear box is filled to front level
plug. If necessary, add (SHELL)
DURINA-O or AL VANIA EP-O liquid grease
or its equivalent. Do not overfill.
2. DRIVELINE: Grease as indicated on
decal below:
3. BROOM: Using a good quality multi-
purpose lubricant, lubricate all pivot
points and brush ground contact
adjustment threads every
8 hours of
operation.
4. CASTER WHEELS: Grease swivel bushings
every 4 hours of operation.
STORAGE
