OPERATION
HOW TO USE YOUR SWEEPER
BRUSH HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
To adjust your sweeper brushes to the best operating
height, loosen the adjustment knob and push down
on the height adjustment lever to raise the brush. Best
adjustment is when the brush setting is 1/2" down into
the grass. Always mow the grass to an even height
before sweeping.
SWEEPING SPEED
Try a starting speed of approximately 3 m.p.h. (third gear
on most tractors). Depending on the conditions, it may
be necessary to adjust the sweeping speed in order to
achieve best results.
DUMPING OF SWEEPER
Your sweeper can be dumped easily without getting off
of the rider or tractor. Simply pull the rope forward to
dump the hopper. Always empty hopper after each use.
CAUTION: 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.
CAUTION: Keep sweeper away from fire.
Excessive heat can damage the brushes and
hopper bag and could cause the bag and its
contents to burn.
