• The RedMax Sweeper works best when its
rubber fins can quickly slide or "skim" over the
surface being swept.
• New or replacement sweeper belts tend to grip
or drag on hard surfaces, and should be
thoroughly broken in or "scuffed" before the
broom is actually put to work.
• Break-in is easily accomplished by operating the
RedMax Sweeper at full throttle for 3 to 5
minutes in loose gravel or similar abrasive
material. Once broken in, a RedMax Sweeper
will effortlessly move an amazing variety of
materials, ranging from snow or standing water
to heavier objects such as wood chips or gravel.
• Experience will help you understand the
operating principles of the RedMax Sweeper, but
safe operation must be practiced from the start.
■ OPERATING TECHNIQUES (OP8)(OP9)(OP10)
Operate the RedMax Sweeper at or near full
throttle with its sweeper fins resting on the work
surface.
• It is both tiring and unnecessary to lift or hold the
fins from the work surface during sweeping.
• When sweeping narrow areas such as
sidewalks, the RedMax Sweeper can be used to
throw material directly ahead of the operator.
Clearing wider areas may require sweeping at
an angle to create windrows to one side of the
path being cleared.
•Windrows of lighter materials often can be
combined into one main row or pile for eventual
pickup, while heavy or bulky material may need
to be collected row-by-row.
• To pull debris from corners, reverse sweeper
drum rotation by turning the powerhead over
(throttle facing "up") .
• Sweeping corners with the RedMax Sweeper
upside down. (OP9)
