Thank you for purchasing a Smithco product. Read this manual and all other manuals pertaining to the Sweep Star 48H carefully as they have safety, op- erating, assembly and maintenance instructions. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
19. Stop engine before making repairs/adjustments or checking/adding oil to the crankcase. 20. Use parts and materials supplied by Smithco only. Do not modify any function or part. These machines are intended for professional maintenance on golf courses, sports turf, and any other area maintained turf and related trails, paths and lots.

MAINTENANCE TIRE PRESSURE Caution must be used when inflating a low tire to recommended pressure. Over inflating can cause tires to ex- plode. Front and rear tires and caster wheel should be 20 psi (1.4bar) maximum. Improper inflation will reduce tire life considerably.
Page 9
TOWING When it is necessary to move the Sweep Star 48H without engine running, the bypass valve built into hydro- static pump must be “open” by turning it turn. An “open” valve allows fluid to pass through the wheels free- ly.
SERVICE CHART Before servicing or making adjustments to the machine, stop engine, set park break, block wheels and remove key from ignition. Follow all procedures and ONLY use parts prescribed by the manufacturer. Read the engine manual before maintenance. The suggested maintenance checklist is not offered as a replacement for the manufacturer’s engine manual but as a supplement.
