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.
SWEEPING SPEEDTry 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.
Your sweeper can be dumped without getting off of the rider or tractor. Pull the dump lever forward to empty the hopper. Always empty hopper after each use.
DRAWBAR OFFSETThe drawbar can be attached to the center, left hand or right hand set of holes in the drawbar offset tube.
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.
