6.5 Adjusting operating height
The operating height of the broom can be adjusted with the plastic sleeves on the vertical axles of the support
wheels. Suitable setting depends on the operating area and the material being handled, and the height should
also be adjusted as the broom wears down.
1.
Lift the attachment slightly off the ground with the
loader and shut down the engine.
2.
Remove the cotter pin from the vertical axle of the
bearing wheel. Pull the wheel off its holder.
3.
Move some plastic sleeves from above the bracket to
below it or vice versa, depending on whether you
wish to raise or lower the mower.
4.
Push the axle back in through the bracket and
reinstall the cotter pin.
5.
Repeat steps 2–4 for each wheel. Ensure that all
wheels are adjusted to the same height.
It is easiest to adjust the height while the attachment is
lifted slightly off the ground with the loader.
DANGER
Risk of serious injury or death - Lowering of boom can crush anyone under the
attachment or loader boom.
Stop use immediately and if anyone is in risk of getting
under an attachment or in the area between the loader and the attachment. The boom or
attachment may move unexpectedly even if the loader has been shut down. Keep a safe
distance from the hazard area and from any moving component.
Correct height adjustment:
The suspended, floating broom shaft will lower against the ground to correct operating pressure. Lower the
broom on its wheels and set the floating to correct operating position. The support wheels are set correctly
when:

the rubber edge plate of the collector box is close to the broom, but not in contact with it

side bristle skirts are close to the ground or only touch it lightly
If the broom is set too low, it will require more power and the broom will wear down
quickly.
