USING THE ROTARY BROOM
When attaching the rotary broom for the first time, make sure it is compatible with the base machine by following the
instructions below. Always check the compatibility when attaching the collecting sweeper to a new base machine.

Attaching the broom to the base machine
The rotary broom is attached to the base machine by welded or bolted STARK FIT quick hitches. The machine is
connected to a hydraulic system. Hydraulic circuit diagrams can be found in a later section in this manual. Ask your
retailer for available STARK FIT quick hitches.
Before using the rotary broom, MAKE SURE
all locking cotters are secured and intact.
When coupling rotary broom to the base machine, please pay attention to the instructions on the use of the base
machine.
1.
Make sure that the attachment and the base machine are compatible in terms of mechanical solutions, hydraulics and
electricity.
2.
Apply parking brake. The rotary broom is attached to the coupler on the base machine (e.g. a loader). Attach the
rotary broom to the base machine, and make sure the locking cotters are secured.
3.
Turn off the base machine and make sure the parking brake is applied.
4.
Make sure there is no pressure in the base machine hydraulic system. When connecting, always make sure the
hydraulic connectors are clean and the hoses are intact.
5.
Check carefully the attachment’s, the base machine’s and the fitting’s trajectory for collision. Make sure t
hat the
needed space for hydraulic hoses and -attachments is adequate. Check that the brush roll rotates outwards from the. If
not, switch hoses in the base machine.
6.
During first hours of operating the attachment, bolts, nuts and connectors might loosen up.
Retighten
