START UP & PROPELLING
CAUTION
Persons should ride in the seat properly wearing their seat belt whenever the vehicle is moving
or in the vicinity of other moving vehicles. Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer seri-
ous bodily injury in the event of sudden braking or a collision.
When using the seat belts, observe the following:
• Be careful not to damage the belt webbing or hardware. Take care that they do not get
caught or pinched in the seat.
• Inspect the belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose parts. Damaged parts
should be replaced. Do not disassemble or modify the system.
• Replace entire belt assembly (including bolts) if it has been used in a severe impact.
• Replace belt assembly after 3 years of use and 5 years of manufacture.
This model of broom is hydrostatically driven. Motion is achieved by depressing the foot pedal on
the oor board to the right of center. Letting the foot pedal up will result in a braking action caused
by the hydraulic system. This is the proper method for braking on this machine. The brake pedal
on the left side of the oor board should not have to be used except in cases where the engine has
died or there is a problem with the hydraulic system. To maintain operability, occasional use of brake
system is advised to prevent rusting and seizure of components in place.
WARNING
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE, BE SURE PARKING BRAKE IS SET, LEFT FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE
PEDAL AND RIGHT FOOT DOES NOT CONTACT THE CONTROL PEDAL. FAILURE TO DO SO
COULD CAUSE UNINTENDED MOVEMENT OF VEHICLE RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH.

3. After the desired direction has been selected, raise engine R.P.M. to about half throttle. Release
parking break. Slowly depress control pedal and adjust the engine to the desired travel speed.
Speed can also be varied by the distance the control pedal is depressed.
4. To stop the engine, turn the key back to the center position. The parking brake must be set
prior to leaving the operator’s seat.

ATION IS CONSIDERED ABUSE.

TOWING PROCEDURES
1. Before towing this machine check the following:
a. The tires should be inated to 32 PSI and be in good condition.
b. Any loose items on the machine should be removed or secured.
c. Check to see that all the lug nuts/bolts are tight on the wheels and that the wheel are in
good condition.
2. The parking brake must always be set before starting to hook up the machine to a towing ve-
hicle. The parking brake must also be set before starting to unhook the machine from a towing
vehicle.
3. Flip switch for Hitch on dash.
4. Drive the broom behind the vehicle. Leave about 5’ between vehicle and broom
5. Lower hitch on to the ball. Have one person guide you if possible.
6. When hitch is on, power down with control valve where the tire is about 6” off the ground.
7. Put the shaft pin in the hole to secure.
8. Unlock hubs on the rear wheels of the machine so that it will roll freely without turning the hy-
draulic motors.
9. Open ¼” ball valve on hitch for brakes.
10. Hook up the lights and make sure they are in good working order.
11. Hook up tow chain.
12. Reverse procedure for unhooking.
13. Release the parking brake. Pull the machine a short distance and make sure the machines
brakes are not dragging. If they are, adjust and/or repair them so that they will work effectively
when needed.
Note: When the machine is to be unhooked from the towing vehicle, set the parking brake and pro-
ceed to unhook the machine in the same manner as it was hooked up, except in reverse order.
Note: The speed at which this machine is towed depends on conditions and the personal judgment
of the individual in charge but must not exeed 45 mph. Broce Manufacturing Co. will not be re-

OPERATION OF THE SWEEPING CORE
All broom functions are hydraulically operated. The control levers are located on the dash on the
right and left side of the steering wheel. The joystick located on the right side of dash controls the
core height up down and the right and left angle of Broom. The handle on the left
turns on and off broom rotation.
RAISE / LOWER / FLOAT DETENT
To raise the core, move the joystick to the back, “Raise,” position until the core is raised all the way.
The handle will return to the hold position and core height will be maintained. To lower the core
during normal sweeping conditions, move the joystick to the front, “Float position. The
“Float” position will allow the core to maintain the ideal contact while allowing it to oat over bumps
or contours in the surface. To adjust the core height downward, slowly move the handle from the
hold position to the lower position. The core will begin to move downward. Release the handle
when the desired height has been achieved.

NOTE: The operator must maintain continuous adjustment on the core while the down pressure op-
tion is being used. This feature does not allow the core to oat over contours in the surface. There-
fore, the operator must constantly make these adjustments. If the broom core is forced too close
to the ground, the bristles will not have the “icking” action which is necessary to do the proper
sweeping job. This is why the oat is recommended during all but the heaviest sweeping conditions.
IMPORTANT: OVER USE OF THE POSITIVE DOWN PRESSURE FEATURE WILL CAUSE EXCESSIVE
WEAR AND SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE BROOM.
Right / Left Angle
The core may be set at any angle from 40° left to 40° right. Move the joystick to the right and it
moves the core towards the right rear wheel, likewise for the left. Release the handle when the de-
sires angle is achieved.
Broom on / Broom off / Broom speed
The core motor is activated with the handle to the right and is moved to the front, “ROTATION ON”
position and turned off when the handle is moved back, “ROTATION OFF” position. Turf Boss ma-
chines have variable brush speed controlled by a dial on the dash panel.
SWEEPING TIPS
1. If the broom starts to hop or bounce, the propelling speed is too high. Slow the machine down,
but maintain high engine speed. This will allow you to do a good job on the rst pass and you
will not need to go over it again.
2. In areas where the dirt is caked, try to clean the sweeping surface by going over it a second or
third time. If this does not clear the dirt, use the Positive Down Pressure feature, although in
most cases, the oat position will yield the best results.
3. When changing the direction of travel, for example, backing up to sweep a spost which was not
cleared the rst time, always allow the machine to come to a complete stop before moving the
shift lever in the opposite direction. This will help eliminate break downs and costly down time.
4. If the dust cloud becomes so thick that your vision is obscured, use the water sprinkling system
or stop the machine until the dust clears. If possible, angle the sweeper so that the dust and
debris is swept downwind.
5. Always wear eye protection, hearing protection and dust mask for respiratory irritants.
WARNING
OPERATOR MUST BE AWARE OF ANY PEOPLE OR PROPERTY WHICH MAY BE IN THE PATH
OF FLYING OBJECTS CAST BY THE ROTATING BRUSH. FLYING OBJECTS CAN CAUSE INJU-
RY OR DEATH.
