HOW TO USE YOUR SWEEPER
BRUSH HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
•
To adjust your sweeper brushes to the best operating
height, lift up on the height adjustment handle to
disengage it from the height adjustment strap. Move
the handle forward or backward to raise or lower the
brush. Refer to the Know Your Sweeper figure above.
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.
