Clearing a Clogged Broom

WARNING
The rotating broom could cause serious
injury.
Shut off the engine and allow all rotating parts
to stop before cleaning the broom.
•
If the broom becomes clogged, stay in the
operating position and release the traction-drive
lever. While engaging the broom, push down on
the handles to raise the front of the machine a
few centimeters (inches) off the pavement. Then
lift the handles quickly to bump the front of the
machine on the pavement. Repeat if necessary.
•
If you cannot unclog the broom by bumping the
front of the machine, do the following:
– Park the machine on level ground. shut off the
engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
disconnect the spark-plug wire.
– Sharp objects can become entangled in
bristles. Use gloves and caution when
removing foreign objects from the broom; do
not use your hands.
