Before Using Lawn Sweeper:
1.
Read all Safety Rules found on page 1.
How to Sweep Lawn:
1.
Remove large debris from lawn.
2.
Do not sweep if conditions are too wet or muddy.
3.
Attach Lawn Sweeper to tractor using supplied hitch pin. The reversable
hitch allows the Lawn Sweeper to accomodate varying tractor hitch heights
by fliping over; choose the appropriate setting so that Lawn Sweeper hitch
tubes are roughly level with the ground and Bag is not touching the ground.
4.
Attach dump rope to tractor so that it cannot contact the brushes or wheels.
5.
Start tractor engine and tow Lawn Sweeper to lawn in setting 7.
6.
Adjust brush height so that brushes extend roughly 1/2" below the tips of the
grass. For best performance, always set the brushes to highest effective
setting to minimize resistance on brushes and wheels.
7.
Engage tractor drive at its slowest speed and begin sweeping. Increase
tractor speed as required to throw material to the back of the hopper bag.
DO NOT EXCEED 6 MPH.
8.
Sweep in straight lines whenever possible and avoid sharp turns.
9.
Periodically check the sweeper while operating to ensure that wheels and
brushes are rotating smoothly and that nothing is wrapped around the
brushes or brush shaft.
10. When filled, the hopper bag can be emptied by pulling the dump rope
forward.
10
Operating Instructions
How to Adjust Brush Height:
1.
Place one hand on adjustment lever and use other hand to pull outward on
plunger.
2.
Move handle downwards to lower the brush height or upwards to raise the
brush height.
3.
Align the plunger with the nearest hole and release to select height setting.
Offset Sweeping:
1.
Remove both pins from drawbar.
2.
Slide drawbar on hitch cross tube to farthest holes on desired side.
3.
Re-pin both pins.
4.
Resume normal towing of sweeper.
5.
Durring opertion be mindful of wider towpath of sweeper
Periodic Maintenance:
•
Tighten fasteners as needed before each use.
•
Empty hopper and thoroughly clean Lawn Sweeper after each use.
•
Remove any materials that have wrapped around brushes or brush shaft
after each use.
•
