 INTRODUCTION

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Frontier loader mounted hydraulic rotary brooms are calibrated and tested at the plant in order
to ensure the best possible performance. The calibration of these rotary brooms requires the
proper equipment and a certain expertise.
Any partial modification or adjustment made on the rotary broom without the written consent
of the manufacturer will automatically void the rotary broom warranty.
The adjustments of the hydraulic components must never be modified. A breaking in period is
necessary before the rotary broom is operated at full capacity. See the "Operation" section for
more details.

 OPERATION
OPTIMUM PERFORMANCES
IMPORTANT: The hydraulic motors of the rotary broom must have a breaking in period. If it is
not respected, the warranty could be voided. The breaking in period must follow these steps:
1- 15-30 minutes of operation without any load and at half speed (tractor RPM around
1250).
2- Check for unusual noises coming from the motors. If everything sounds normal, the
load and engine speed can be increased.
The new HP2025 and HP2134 pumps are equipped with a safety system to prevent the
hydraulic oil from overheating. When the hydraulic block is not power supplied, the oil is in
recirculation mode meaning that the equipment will not function. To power the block, the
ignition key must be in the "ON" or "START" position. If the system remains in the
recirculation mode, refer to the "Troubleshooting" section at page 43.

IMPORTANT: Optional lawn dethatching
wheels must be installed to perform these

lawn dethatching and leaf raking
operations.
2. To adjust the height of the wheel slide the
inner tube upward or downward, as
needed, and insert the square wire lock pin

3. We recommend adjusting the wheel height
to 1" lower than the brush height to make a
first try on the grass. Then raise or lower
the wheels as required.
4. Slower brush speed and ground speed are
more adequate for lawn dethatching. This
will avoid bouncing which could damage
