If you have a 30" sweeper, skip steps 7 through 9.

7.Make sure the sweeper height adjustment handle is still set to about the middle of it's adjustment range.

8.Center the dethatcher with the sweeper.

9.Assemble the keeper brackets (bend to the inside) to the sweeper's hitch tube, outside of the conduit clamps. Use a u-bolt and two 1/4" nylock nuts per bracket. Position the keeper brackets against the sides of the conduit clamps, approximately perpendicular to the ground. Tighten the nylock nuts without bending the keeper brackets. See figure 5.

ASSEMBLY (SMARTSWEEP MODELS)

NOTE: The dethatcher attaches to the SMARTSweep offset tube. This prevents you from offsetting the sweeper.
