ATTACHING SWEEPER HITCH TO TRACTOR
Place the tractor and sweeper on a flat level surface.
Set the sweeper height adjustment handle to about the
middle of its adjustment range.
Attach the sweeper hitch to the tractor hitch, arranging
the 3/4" spacers in one of six possible combinations as
shown in GROUP A and GROUP B diagrams below.
IMPORTANT: To obtain the best performance from your
sweeper, arrange the spacers so that the sweeper bag is
approximately level with the ground and approximately 5"
to 7" off the ground as shown in figure 20.
