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. Best ad-
justment 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: Keep sweeper away from fi re.
Excessive heat can damage the brushes and
hopper bag and could cause the bag and its
contents to burn.
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.
