HOW TO USE YOUR SWEEPER

CAUTION: Maximum towing speed is 6

m.p.h. Driving too fast may cause damage to wheels and bearings.

BRUSH HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

To adjust sweeper brushes to best operating height, loosen adjustment knob and push down on height adjustment lever to raise the brush, or push up on the lever to lower the brush. See figure above. Best adjustment is when the brush setting is 1/2" down into the grass. Always mow the grass to an even height before sweeping.

DRAWBAR OFFSET

The drawbar can be attached to the center, left hand or right hand set of holes in the drawbar offset tube.

SWEEPING SPEED

Do not exceed 6 m.p.h. Try a starting speed of approximately 3 m.p.h. (third gear on most tractors). Depending on conditions, it may be necessary to adjust the sweeping speed in order to achieve best results.

DUMPING OF SWEEPER

Your sweeper can be dumped without getting off of the rider or tractor. Unclip dump lever from pivot rod and pull forward to empty the hopper. Always empty hopper after each use.

CAUTION: Keep sweeper away from fire. Excessive heat can damage the brushes and hopper bag and could cause the bag and its contents to burn.
