Otherwise bring it to the above-mentioned position by pressing and holding the switch (34, Fig. D).
• Shift the 3rd broom arm (23, Fig. G) from opened position to closed position by pushing the joystick (46, Fig. D) to the left.
The shifting operation will stop automatically when the end of stroke is reached.
WARNING!
It is possible to shift to the left or to the right the 3rd broom arm (23, Fig. G) safely, only when the arm extension
(22) is to the left or right end of stroke.
In this situation the arm shifting angle is limited by proper safety devices.
In other situations, the shifting angle is limited to avoid damaging the machine or affect its stability.
It is therefore advisable to bring always the 3rd broom arm extension (22, Fig. G) to the left or right end of
stroke.
WARNING!
It is possible to bring the 3rd broom arm (23, Fig. G) to closed position, only when the arm extension (22) is to
