HOW TO USE YOUR SWEEPER
BRUSH HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
To adjust your sweeper brushes to the best operat-

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.
