Bucket Broom Attachment
Fitting the Bucket Broom
Connect the attachment plate of the loader to the
bucket broom frame. Check to confirm that the
quick hitch attachment locking pins are engaged.
Turn the engine off and push the AUX lever
forward and backward to release any hydraulic line
pressure. Clean the hydraulic fittings (QRCs) and
connect bucket broom hoses to connections A
and C. (See “Hydraulic Attachment Connections.”)
To remove, reverse the order given above. To
prohibit dirt from entering the hydraulic system,
always reconnect the attachment hoses into one
another or fit with supplied dust caps.
Operating Instructions
Complete a pre-operation check. Ensure that the
bucket broom is securely attached to the loader.
Check that the couplings are engaged and check
all joints for leaks. Tighten and repair as required.
Place the AUX lever in neutral. Start the engine
and adjust the engine RPM lever to suit the
operation power you require. Position the bucket
broom flat on the ground. Engage the AUX lever,
pulling toward the operator. The broom will begin
rotating and sweeping into the bucket base.
Bucket Broom should be used in conjunction with
Trenching Valve.
Setting the Trenching Valve
1. On low engine revs and with the attachment off
the ground engage the AUX lever.
2. Increase the revs to desired level.
3. Lower the attachment to working position.
4. Pull drive levers all the way forward.
5. Use the knob on the trenching valve to adjust
the ground speed of the loader. Turning the
knob clockwise will make loader move slower
while turning the knob anti-clockwise will
increase the speed of the loader.
Note
The bucket should only be pushed forward with
the loader drive system.
To empty debris from the bucket, disengage the
AUX lever and tilt the bucket back slightly. Travel
to the dumping location, then raise the lift arm with
Lever 3 and tilt the bucket forward to dump the
debris out using Lever 6 (refer to page 30).
Important Safety Guidelines
Establish and maintain a minimum 4-meter (12-
feet) exclusion zone around the working area. No
person other than the operator should enter the
work zone while the machine’s engine is running.
Observe all underground utility markings carefully.
Maintain a no-work zone 2 meters (6 feet) from any
utility marking.
CAUTION
Wear respiratory and eye protection while
using the bucket broom.
DANGER
Do not place hands, feet, or other body part or
object under the trencher for any reason.
Note
If Trencher valve is not available on your Kanga
Loader, connect the bucket broom hoses to
connections A and B. Control the speed by
gently engaging both drive levers forward. The
further forward the levers are pressed, the faster
the machine travels. Allowing the levers to gently
return to centre will slow the machine’s travels.
Allowing the levers to gently return to centre will
slow the machine’s travel.
