BUCKET BROOM OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. 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.”)
2. Connect the hose bracket to the machine and secure the
R-clip. Install the chain onto the supplied broom chain
clamp around the top of the lift arm cylinder. Tighten onto
the machine. Place the bucket broom flat on the ground and
adjust the chain to about four links slack. Confirm that when
you lift the bucket and tilt it forward, the bucket lid opens
and debris can be emptied.
3. 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.
1. Place the AUX lever in neutral. Start the engine and adjust
engine RPM lever to suit the operation power required.
Position the bucket flat on the ground. Engage the AUX lever,
pulling towards the operator. The broom brushes will begin
rotating.
NOTE: The bucket broom should only be pushed with the
loader drive system.
CAUTION: Prior to commencing work, read the
Safety Rules of this Kanga Loader Manual.
FITTING THE BUCKET BROOM
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SET TRENCHING VALVE
FOR BUCKET BROOM USE
The trenching valve is located on the left hand side of the loader.
This is a load-sensing valve and can be set to automatically
regulate the speed of travel when using a broom. Use the black
knob to shut off the valve, turning clockwise. With the bucket on
the ground, gradually push the drive levers forward and open the
valve (black knob) counter clockwise to regulate the travel speed.
Further adjustment of this valve will vary, depending on brush
speed, conditions, and operator’s experience.
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 and tilt the bucket forward to dump
the debris out using lever.
CAUTION: Establish and maintain a minimum 4m 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 six feet from any utility marking. Keep clear of the bucket broom at all times (4m
minimum distance). Wear respiratory and eye protection while using the bucket broom.
Do not place hands, feet, or other body part under the bucket broom for any reason.
