Using your sweeper

Before storing, clean both the sweeper and hopper bag to prevent rust to steel parts and mildew

To increase the life of the sweeper, clean after each use.•

Inspect sweeper for worn or damaged parts after each use.•

Inspect and remove any materials that may have wrapped around the brushes or the ends of •the brush axle.

Should rust appear on sweeper, sand area and paint with an enamel paint.•

Periodically check all fasteners for tightness.•

For best results, use sweeper when conditions are dry.•

Use caution when backing, jackknifing lawn sweeper can cause damage to the unit.•

Do not over fill the sweeper hopper.•

Do not fasten the rope to any part of your body.•Do not fasten the rope to any clothing.•Do not hold onto rope while pulling the sweeper.•

Always secure the rope to the tractor to ensure rope will not get tangled in wheels or brushes.•

The faster the tractors speed the further the material is thrown into the hopper. Operate at a •speed that will throw material to the back of the hopper.

Depending on conditions it may be necessary to adjust sweeping speed to achieve best results.•

QUICK REFERENCE GUIDEDETERMINING SWEEPER BRUSH HEIGHT

For optimal performance:

Mow grass while sweeping, especially when leaves are present.Å

Set brush height 1/2" down into the grass. A common Å misconception is that the lower the brush setting the better it will sweep, when in fact a brush setting too low will cause unnecessary drag on brushes.

Sweep when conditions are dry. When sweeping heavy amounts Å of debris start with a HIGHER setting, LOWERING with each pass.

Operate at a speed that will throw the material into the back of the Å hopper, speed will have to be adjusted depending upon the materials being swept.

NOTE: having the brushes set too low causes wheel slippage. For maximumperformance operate sweeper with brushes adjusted as high as possible.

BRUSH HEIGHT ADJUSTMENTS:

Low settings: on ground to 1" above ground. Smooth surfaces such as driveways parking lots, andsidewalks.

Medium settings: 1" to 2" aboveground. Mowed lawns under normalconditions or light leaves.

High settings: 2" to 3" aboveground. For high grass, heavy leaves, or heavy grass clippings.
