BRUSH ADJUSTMENTS

The sweeper brush has been cut at the factory to the most commonly used length. The length of brush, however, may be easily shortened if necessary by following these procedures:

•Turn the engine off and disconnect the spark plug wire.

•Then take a sharp pair of scissors and cut the bristles to the desired length. Be sure and cut the same amount off all three brushes, cutting completely across the length of the brush. We recommend not cutting more than 1/2 inch at a time to avoid cutting the bristles too short.

•Check the performance of the Sweeper brush after each 1/2 inch trim

BAG AND BRUSH REPLACEMENT

The bag is subject to deterioration and wear during normal usage. Inspect the bag periodically for tears, holes or weak spots. Replace as needed. Replacement bags and brooms are available from your local Swisher Mower dealer or call the factory at 800-222-8183.
