Operations
The Model T10042 can be raised or lowered to achieve the optimal sweeping height for different surfaces and for different operators.
The optimal height adjustment allows the operator to handle the sweeper comfortably and positions the brushes so that they extend approximately ½" into the grass.
To adjust the brush height:
1.Loosen the height adjustment knob, then slide the adjustment bar downward to raise the brushes or upward to lower the brushes. When the desired height is reached, tighten the height adjustment knob (Figure 8).

Tips for using the Model T10042 Lawn Sweeper:
•Empty the leaf bag after every use.
•To dump the leaf bag, tilt the sweeper all the way forward.
•For best results and ease of use, be sure the height is properly adjusted for both the sur- face being swept and the user's height.
•Follow the maintenance schedule outlined in these instructions to prevent unnecessary wear on your sweeper.
Maintenance
To prevent unnecessary wear, periodically lubri- cate the brush shaft bushings, the wheel bush- ings, and grease the ratchet gears in each wheel assembly.
To lubricate the bushings (twice annually):
1.Tilt the sweeper onto its side and apply a few drops of light oil to the brush shaft, as shown in Figure 9.
