OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BREAK-IN
The Power Sweeper operates best when the fins quickly slide or skim the surface being swept. New or replacement sweeper belts will tend to grip or drag on hard surfaces, and should be fully broken in prior to actual operation. Break in is accomplished by operating the product at full throttle for 3 - 5 minutes in loose gravel or similar abrasive material.
Important Note: It is tiring and unnecessary to lift or hold the fins from the work surface during operation.
Warning: Burn Danger. The gearcase will become very hot during normal operation.
OPERATING TECHNIQUES
Operate the product at or near full throttle with the sweeper fins resting on the work surface.
CLEARING NARROW AREAS
When sweeping narrow areas such as sidewalks, the Power Sweeper can be used to throw material
directly ahead of the operator.
CLEARING WIDER AREAS
Clearing wider areas may require sweeping at an angle to create windrows to one side of the path being cleared. Windrows of lighter materials can be combined into one main row or pile for eventual pick up, while heavy or bulky material may need to be collected row by row.
CLEARING CORNERS
To pull debris from corners, reverse the sweeper drum rotation by turning the powerhead over (throttle facing up).
Warning: Use lower throttle settings when reversing the Sweeper to sweep corners as debris will be thrown toward the operator in this position. Also be aware that thrown debris may affect footing.
