HOW TO USE YOUR SWEEPER
BRUSH HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
To adjust your sweeper brushes to the best operating height, loosen the adjustment knob and push down on the height adjustment lever to raise the brush. Best adjustment is when the brush setting is 1/2" down into the grass. Always mow the grass to an even height before sweeping.
SWEEPING SPEED
Try a starting speed of approximately 3 m.p.h.(third gear on most tractors). Depending on the conditions, it may be necessary to adjust the sweeping speed in order to achieve best results.
DUMPING OF SWEEPER
Your sweeper can be dumped easily without getting off of the rider or tractor. Simply pull the rope forward to dump the hopper. Always empty hopper after each use.
CAUTION: Never attach the hopper rope to any part of your body or clothing! Never hold onto the rope while towing the sweeper! Attach the rope to the towing vehicle to keep it away from wheels and rotating parts.
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.
