IMPORTANT:  Do not remove both wheels at the same 
time to avoid mixing of parts. (The R.H. and L.H. ratchet 
gears are not interchangeable.) Make notes on the position 
of washers and snap rings during disassembly.

1. Remove 

only one wheel from the sweeper.

2.  Remove the retaining rings and washers which hold the 

ratchet gear onto the brush shaft.

3.  (Figure 26) Remove the gear by sliding it off the brush 

shaft. (Look for the drive pin, which may fall out of the 
brush shaft when the ratchet gear is removed.)

4.  To reassemble, insert the drive pin through the hole 

near the end of the brush shaft. Make sure the pin slides 
back and forth easily in the shaft.

5.  Lightly grease the shaft and fi ll the ratchet gear with 

grease. Assemble the ratchet gear back onto the 
shaft.

6.  Lightly grease the axle and the gear teeth on the wheel, 

and then reassemble the wheel.  The brushes should 
rotate only during forward rotation of the wheel. If the 
brushes are driven (rotated) by both forward and reverse 
rotation of the wheel, the drive pin is jamming in the 
ratchet gear. Disassemble to clean and lubricate the 
drive pin and the ratchet gear.

NOTE:  Brush replacement should be done one brush at  

 a 

time.

1.  Remove the hopper bag from the sweeper.
2.  (Figure 25) Loosen the hex bolts and lock nuts on two 

single brush retainers which clamp one brush to the 
double brush retainers. Do Not loosen or remove the 
bolts which fasten the double brush retainers to the 
brush shaft.

3.  (Figure 25) Slide the brush out of the retainers, noting 

on which side of the brush the bristles overlap. 

4.  (Figure 25) Install new brush, making sure the bristles 

overlap on the same side of the brush as before.

1.  Brushes set too low.
2. Brushes are jammed.
3. Wheels are jammed.

Wheels skid when sweeping.

1.  Adjust height till brushes are 1/2" down into grass.
2.  Stop sweeper. Remove obstruction.
3.  Remove one wheel at a time to check for obstruction or 

damage. Refer to Service and Adjustments section.
