2.Do not permit children to operate sweeper.

3.Do not permit anyone to ride on sweeper.

4.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.

5.Operate the sweeper at reduced speed on rough terrain, near ditches and on hillsides to prevent loss of control.

6.Vehicle braking and stability may be affected with the attachment of this sweeper. Do not fill sweeper to maximum capacity without checking the capability of the towing vehicle to safely pull and stop with the sweeper attached. Stay off of steep slopes.
