Standard pressure relief valves protect the motor and the loader’s hydraulic system from damaging pressure spikes. When the maximum pressure point is reached, the valve opens to prevent pressure from rising any further. This prevents seals or other internal components from breaking due to excessive pressure.

1. Slowly raise broom to the required height above the area you want to dump collected debris.
2. Roll broom forward until all debris is removed from the bucket.
3. To help empty the bucket, engage the hydraulics to rotate wafers away from the operator.
4. If debris is still stuck, shake broom up and down while rotating the wafers.

For efficient operation, purchase a broom with a sweeping width that is wider than the tires or tracks of your loader.

Loader capacity should also be considered. Selecting a skid steer attachment that is too wide will add weight, volume, and surface area, all factors that could affect performance.

The internal water tank is integrated into the bucket which allows better visibility. Water helps decrease the amount of dust and other airborne debris. This skid steer broom has a 55-gallon tank which can provide 35 minutes of continuous operation. The translucent tank with capacity indicators for viewing water level while sitting in the cab.

Direct drive systems have less replaceable wear parts and are more powerful than other drive systems. Direct drive systems are safer than mechanical systems because there are no belt or chain pinch points and no stored energy if hydraulic pressure is properly relieved.

Bristles can be replaced quickly and easily without disconnecting the hydraulics. To remove the bristle core, simply unbolt and remove the hydraulic motor assembly, then unbolt and remove the shaft assembly and bearing to free the bristle core from the brush head. See the product manual for step-by-step instructions.

Virnig Brooms are designed with a flow tolerance of 15-25 GPM. All hydraulic motors used by Virnig Manufacturing are rated with zero overflow tolerance. Operating at a higher flow rate can lead to premature failure and will void the motor warranty.

The motor is protected on the top, front, and bottom with a ¼ inch plate welded to the motor can. The guarded design allows motor component protection as well as easy access for maintenance. Additionally, the motor on the broom is inset about 4”, which makes it less likely to get hit by obstacles or obstructions while sweeping.

The Gutter Brush is intended for sweeping out gutters and other hard to reach areas that the Pick-Up Broom cannot get into due to frame limitations.

Convoluted alternating poly and wire wafers, all wire, and all poly are available. Pick-Up Brooms are equipped standard with the alternating poly and wire package. Virnig Pick-Up Broom wafers have an outside diameter of 26” and and inside diameter of 8.5”.

Yes, the dual-directional motor can sweep in both directions. However, in normal operation the broom should pick up material and pull it over the bristles into the bucket. This rotation would be clockwise as the user looks at the motor.

Virnig Pick-Up Broom’s are equipped standard with alternating poly and wire wafers, and are the best all-around option for most jobs. Wire bristles are used to “cut” material, and poly bristles are used to “flick” loose material. Some jobs may not require the use of wire bristles, and having all poly wafers will give more sweeping power. In these cases, all poly wafers would be a better choice.

A major cause of wear on skid steer bucket style brooms is improper broom head adjustment. Many other systems utilize a bolt and nut adjustment. These systems can freeze in place when exposed to the elements and can be difficult to adjust evenly.

The Virnig adjustment system allows the operator to set bristle height with minimal downtime. Simply elevate the head of the broom from the bucket, remove the holding pin, and set the adjustment shaft.

Most Virnig attachments are ready to work right off the pallet.

To minimize set up time, Virnig Manufacturing requires the machine brand and model to be listed on each order for attachments with hydraulic components to ensure proper hose length, routing, and coupler sizing. In addition, all hydraulic Virnig Attachments are tested for leaks and proper operation before leaving the factory. There may be specific scenarios in which additional setup time will be required.

Most parts for Virnig skid steer attachments are available in-stock and can be shipped as early as the same day the order is received.

Check with a local Virnig dealer for replacement part availability.

All Virnig parts and attachments are warranted for one year from the end user’s date of purchase, or the dealer’s date of first rental/demonstration. If the warranty period has expired, a sales receipt or first rental slip will be required for warranty consideration.

Virnig uses NitroSteel® cylinder rods because they are a superior performing alternative to chrome plating. The finish offers improved corrosion resistance and better grease retention.

Chrome plated cylinder rods can flake or pit and destroy the seals or other internal components; resulting in downtime and expensive repairs.

A NitroSteel® rod will perform better and increase the service life of a cylinder, making it the cost-effective choice. Learn more about the benefits of the NitroSteel® process.
