• 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 hous-
ing, underneath the hitch tubes.

two 5/16" x 1-3/8" clevis pins, 5/16" washers and
3/32" hair cotter pins. See figure 4.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT.
MIDDLE SETTING
If you have a 30" sweeper, skip these steps.
• 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, two 1/4" lock washers and
two 1/4" hex nuts per bracket. Position the keeper
brackets against the sides of the conduit clamps,
approximately perpendicular to the ground. Tighten
the hex nuts without bending the keeper brackets.
See figure 5.
