8. Operation
English
• For long-term inverted operation, loosen the
adjustment knob to reverse the handle. (OP10)
(1) Adjustment Knob
Reversing the RedMax Sweeper will cause debris
to be thrown back toward the operator. When
reversing the RedMax Sweeper, use lower throttle
settings and beware that thrown debris may also
affect your footing!
■ OPERATING AND SAFETY TIPS (OP11)
Maintain a shallow angle to the work surface!
•A high angle of operation tends to propel the broom
toward you, risking loss of control of the machine.
(1) Maintain a shallow working angle.
(2) A steep working angle risks loss of control!
The sweeper belts may rotate when the RedMax
Sweeper is started!
• Always maintain a firm grip when starting the
RedMax Sweeper. Beware of objects that could
become entangled in or be thrown by the rotating
sweeper belts.
YOU MUST ALWAYS GUARD AGAINST THROWN
DEBRIS!
• Although the RedMax Sweeper’s sweeper belts are
less forceful than a lawnmower blade, you must
avoid any operation where thrown objects could
pose a threat to persons or property!
Never operate the RedMax Sweeper if any
protective devices (engine covers, stop switch,
etc.) are missing or damaged!
Never operate the engine at high rpms without a
load!
• Doing so could damage the engine.
