SAFETY

LB540 Safety Procedures

• The LB540 power broom is designed to sweep. Do not use it to push or pull objects.

• The broom can create a dust cloud that may obstruct your vision. Generally, slowing the rotational

speed of the broom by reducing power unit engine RPM will reduce the amount of dust created.

• Use caution when sweeping near anything that could be damaged by thrown objects. Whenever possible,

sweep materials away from buildings and other objects of value. When sweeping near buildings or objects
of value, slowing the rotational speed of the broom by reducing power unit engine RPM will reduce the
distance and velocity at which objects can be thrown from the broom.

• Attachment hydraulic system may contain stored energy. Before performing maintenance or repairs on

the hydraulic system, the attachment’s auxiliary hydraulic hoses must be disconnected from the power

unit. Lower the attachment to the ground, shut o󰀨 power unit engine, move the secondary S.D.L.A. lever

left and right to relieve auxiliary hydraulic pressure, and disconnect the auxiliary hydraulic quick couplers.

GENERAL OPERATION

Operating Procedure

Before operation, perform daily inspection and
engage the power unit’s weight transfer.

Move the machine into position and lower the power
broom to the ground. Place the power unit’s primary

SDLA lever in the oat position by pushing it to the

right until the detent engages. The lever will stay
in this position until intentionally removed. Use the
power unit’s secondary SDLA lever to adjust the
broom to the desired angle.

WARNING

When the broom is angled to the left or right,
pinch points are created. Make sure there are
no people or objects present between the broom
frame and the power unit.

With the power unit’s engine running between 2,000
and 2,500 RPM, engage the PTO switch. Adjust
the power unit throttle to achieve the desired broom
rotational speed. Drive forward at a speed that is
safe and gives the desired results.

The power broom can be used to sweep debris,
including leaves and snow, from driveways, side­walks, parking lots, etc. The power broom can

e󰀨ectively sweep several inches of snow. The type
of snow and prevailing winds will a󰀨ect the results.

When sweeping, cooperate with the wind direction
as much as possible. Slowing the broom rotation
RPM can reduce blowing dust. Reduce rotation
speed by slowing the power unit engine RPM.

Excessive amounts of debris on the broom frame
will obstruct vision and add unwanted weight. Clean
as necessary.

Gauge Wheel Height Adjustment

The power broom is equipped with two adjustable
gauge wheels. As the nylon bristles of the broom
rotor wear down, the gauge wheels will need to be
adjusted to maintain proper ground contact. The
vertical adjustment of the gauge wheels is done by
the placement of a series of washers above and
below the mounting tube. The number of upper and
lower washers must be the same on both the left
and right gauge wheels.

The suggested setting for the gauge wheels is the
point at which the broom sweeps 2 to 4 inches (5 to
10 cm) of surface area when the machine is parked.

2 - 4 inches
5 - 10 cm

Some situations may require a more or less aggres­sive sweeping action. Gauge wheel adjustment,
broom speed, and travel speeds are factors to apply.
