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, or push
up on the lever to lower the brush. See figure 21. 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.
