it away from wheels and rotating parts.

DUMPING OF SWEEPER

off of the rider or tractor. Simply pull the rope forward 
to dump the hopper. Always empty hopper after each
use.

•  To adjust your sweeper brushes to the best operating

height, loosen the adjustment knob and push down
on the height adjustment handle to raise the brush, or
push up on the handle to lower the brush. See figure

down into the grass. Always mow the grass to an even
height before sweeping.

gear on most tractors). Depending on the conditions,
