hydraulic system. Hydraulic circuit diagrams can be found in a later section in this manual.
Before using the back broom, MAKE SURE
all locking cotters are secured and intact.
When coupling back 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.
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.
3.
Reverse the base machine near the broom. Attach the support beams to the broom. Apply parking brake.
