•  Connect the sweeper to the tractor. Set the sweeper

height adjustment handle to about the middle of it's
adjustment range.

•  Place the dethatcher in front of the sweeper housing,

underneath the hitch tubes.

•  Connect the dethatcher to the conduit clamps using

two 5/16" x 1-3/8" clevis pins, 5/16" washers and

3/32" hair cotter pins. See figure 4.

•  Assemble a conduit clamp onto each end of the

sweeper height adjustment tube so that the straight
part of the clamp is on top of the tube.

•  Remove the hitch brackets from the sweeper's hitch

tubes. Slide the transport hook onto the L.H. hitch
tube as shown in figure 3.

•  Reassemble the hitch brackets and bolts to the hitch

tubes. Refer to your sweeper owner's manual.

•  Make sure the sweeper height adjustment handle is

still set to about the middle of it's adjustment range.

•  Center the dethatcher with the sweeper.
•  Assemble the keeper brackets (bend to the inside)

to the sweeper's hitch tube, outside of the conduit
clamps. Use a u-bolt and two 1/4" nylock nuts per
bracket. Position the keeper brackets against the sides
of the conduit clamps, approximately perpendicular
to the ground. Tighten the nuts without bending the
keeper brackets. See figure 5.

•  Lift the front of the dethatcher and secure it in

transport position using the transport hook. See
figure 6.

•  To keep the transport hook from sliding back along

the hitch tube, you can fasten the supplied nylon tie
around the hitch tube behind the transport hook. See
figure 6.
