Installing The Wall Hook

Note: It is highly recommend to hang the Sweep and Collect on the provided hook or similar device to prevent damage to the broom head.

Firmly attach the provided wall hook to the wall so it will not pull out. It should be mounted at a minimum height of 54”(137 cm) to its’ bottom to ensure the broom head does not touch the floor. (Fig. 8a) Use the hardware provided only if hanging on conventional hollow wall construction such as sheetrock over studs. If not, use the appropriate fasteners for the particular wall material.

Operation

WARNING: Do not use the Sweep and Collect without the dirt cup in place.

Note: The Sweep and Collect is to be used for pick up of dry debris on hard floors only. Avoid picking up pieces of string and similar material to prevent binding of the beater bar.

Note: During collection mode, the beater bar can be momentarily stopped by pushing the button in the end of the handle.

•Roll the unit back and forth over the pile of debris to collect it into the dirt cup. For best pick up performance, the broom head bristles should be facing away from the dirt pile as shown above (Fig. 4c).

Atthis point,the beater bar should stop turning.
