Operation
Before using this product read these instructions carefully.
Make sure the snow brush is mounted and fixed properly to the power unit.
If in doubt contact Tracmaster on 01444 247689.
Ensure the brushes are clear of the ground by lowering the castor wheels, then drive the
machine to the site. Adjust the castor wheels so that the brushes just touch the surface.
Make sure the surface to be swept has no pronounced raised areas that the brushes might
encounter, as undue wear on the brushes will occur.
The brush can be angled left, right or straight ahead. This is achieved by applying a little
pressure to the adjustment lever, which is spring-loaded for ease of use. Then simply
move the lever in the desired direction until the relevant position is selected by use of one
of the three holes.
Always select the wheel speed before engaging the PTO. If the PTO is engaged first and
the brush is in heavy contact with the ground, it will drive the machine backwards.
Be prepared to let go of the red stop lever to stop the machine.
Always pull up the clutch lever before engaging any gear, or the brush, or changing
forward / reverse.
The clutch lever must be fully released when working. Do not operate the machine with
the clutch lever partially released as serious damage may occur.
Before use, thoroughly inspect the surface to be swept and remove any objects that could
obstruct the machine, or be thrown by the sweeper, or cause it to run off course.
