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.

Check for loose fasteners before each use.

2.

Clean the sweeper after each use.

 

a.  Clean sweeper housing with a soft brush or cloth.

the hub cap and apply a few drops of light weight oil.

6.  (Figure 24) Every two years, remove the wheels and 

clean the gears found inside the wheel housing. After 
cleaning, lubricate the gears with an even coat of light 
grease. To remove the wheel, pop off the hub cap and 
remove the lock nut and fl at washer.

1.  Clean the sweeper and hopper bag thoroughly to help 

prevent rust and mildew.

2.  To collapse the hopper bag for storage, remove the two

CAUTION: Before storing the sweeper, 
always empty the hopper bag to avoid spon-
taneous combustion.
