OPERATION
Your sweeper is a precision piece of equipment.
Engineering skill and experience have been combined
to provide reasonable safety and efficiency. How-
ever, as with any type of mechanical equipment,
carelessness or error on the part of the operator can
result in damage to your equipment. Therefore,
exercise care at all times and do not subject your
sweeper to misuse.
SWEEPING SPEED
. Select a vehicle speed to throw material to the rear
of the hopper bag.
BRUSH HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
For maximum performance and to avoid tire skid-
ding, adjust the height of the sweeper to engage
brush tips approximately-1/2" into the grass. To
adjust the sweeper brushes, loosen the adjustment
knob and push down on the height adjustment handle
to raise the brushes. See figure 30. Always cut the
grass to an even height before sweeping.

CAUTION: Keep sweeper away from
fire, Excessive heat can damage the
