STEP 4 - ATTACH L.H. BRUSH ASSEMBLY
• Attach the brush assembly with the red brush retainer
to the left end of the brush shaft using two hex bolts (D)
and nylock nuts (H). The brush retainer marked with red
ink must be placed to the middle of the sweeper. See
figure 3.
• Turn a wheel to rotate the brushes. (The wheels drive
the brushes in one direction only.) The overlap bristles
should be on the back side of the brush as it rotates.

STEP 5 - ASSEMBLE LEFT HITCH TUBE
• The hitch tubes are stamped with a "77L" for the

housing is marked with an "L" on the left with side
and an "R" on the right side. See figures 4 and 5.
• Hold the left hitch tube against the left side of the
sweeper so that the "77L" on the tube faces away
from the sweeper. Attach the hitch tube using two
hex bolts (C) and nylock nuts (I). Do not tighten yet.
