(7)DIRECTION OF ROTATION

•The RedMax Sweeper works best when its rubber fins can quickly slide or "skim" over the surface being swept.

•New or replacement sweeper belts tend to grip or drag on hard surfaces, and should be thoroughly broken in or "scuffed" before the broom is actually put to work.

•Break-in is easily accomplished by operating the RedMax Sweeper at full throttle for 3 to 5 minutes in loose gravel or similar abrasive material. Once broken in, a RedMax Sweeper will effortlessly move an amazing variety of materials, ranging from snow or standing water to heavier objects such as wood chips or gravel.

•Experience will help you understand the operating principles of the RedMax Sweeper, but safe operation must be practiced from the start.

■OPERATING TECHNIQUES (OP8)(OP9)(OP10) Operate the RedMax Sweeper at or near full throttle with its sweeper fins resting on the work surface.

NOTE

•It is both tiring and unnecessary to lift or hold the fins from the work surface during sweeping.

•When sweeping narrow areas such as sidewalks, the RedMax Sweeper can be used to throw material directly ahead of the operator. Clearing wider areas may require sweeping at an angle to create windrows to one side of the path being cleared.
