KNOW YOUR SWEEPER
CAUTION:
 Keep  sweeper  away  from  fire. 
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.
DUMPING OF SWEEPER
3.  Your sweeper can be dumped easily without getting off 
of the tractor. Pull the rope forward to dump the hopper. 
Always empty hopper after each use.
BRUSH HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
1.  To adjust your sweeper brushes to the best operating 
height,  lift  up  on  the  height  adjustment  handle  to 
disengage it from the height adjustment strap. Move the 
handle forward or backward to raise or lower the brush. 
See fi gure 26. Best adjustment is when the brush setting 
is 1/2" down into the grass. Always mow the grass to an 
even height before sweeping.
SWEEPING SPEED
2.  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.
