ATTACHING SWEEPER HITCH TO TRACTOR
BRUSH HEIGHT ADJUSTED
APPROXIMATELY MID-WAY
•
Place the tractor and sweeper on a flat level surface.
•
Set the sweeper height adjustment handle to about
the middle of its adjustment range.
•
Attach the sweeper hitch to the tractor hitch, arranging
the 3/4" spacers into one of the six possible combina-
tions shown in GROUP A and GROUP B diagrams
To obtain the best performance from your
sweeper, arrange the spacers so that the sweeper bag is
approximately level with the ground and approximately 5"
to 7" off the ground as shown in figure 22.

HOW TO USEYOUR SWEEPER
DUMPING OF SWEEPER
•
Your sweeper can be dumped easily without getting
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 lever to raise the brush, or push
up on the lever to lower the brush. See figure 21. Best
adjustment is when the brush setting is 1/2" down into
the grass. Always mow the grass to an even height
before sweeping.
CAUTION: Never attach the hopper rope to
any part of your body or clothing! Never hold
onto the rope while towing the sweeper! Attach
the rope to the towing vehicle to keep it away
from wheels and rotating parts.
•
Try a starting speed of approximately 3 m.p.h. (third
gear on most tractors). Depending on the conditions,
it may be necessary to adjust the sweeping speed in
Keep sweeper away from fire.
Excessive heat can damage the brushes and
hopper bag and could cause the bag and its
contents to burn.

•
Clean sweeper housing with a soft brush or cloth.
Clean debris from hopper bag with a brush or broom.
Remove any material which has wrapped around
brushes or ends of brush shaft.
STORAGE
•
•
•
Clean the sweeper and hopper bag thoroughly to help
prevent rust and mildew.
To collapse the hopper bag for storage, remove the
two hopper support rods from the rear of the hopper.
Store in a dry area.
CAUTION: Before storing the sweeper,
always empty the hopper bag to avoid
spontaneous combustion.

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS
BRUSH REPLACEMENT
IMPORTANT: Do not remove both wheels at the same
time to avoid mixing of parts. (The R.H. and L.H. ratchet
gears are not interchangeable.) Make notes on the
position of washers and snap rings during disassembly.
NOTE: Brush replacement should be done one brush
at a time.
Remove the hopper bag from the sweeper.
Loosen the hex bolts and lock nuts on two single
brush retainers which clamp one brush to the double
brush retainers. Do Not loosen or remove the bolts
which fasten the double brush retainers to the brush
shaft. See figure 25.
Remove one wheel from the sweeper.
Remove the retaining rings and washers which hold
the ratchet gear onto the brush shaft.
Remove the gear by sliding it off the brush shaft.
(Look for the drive pin, which may fall out of the brush
shaft when the ratchet gear is removed.) See figure
26.
Slide the brush out of the retainers, noting on which
side of the brush the bristles overlap. See figure 25.
Install new brush, making sure the bristles overlap on
the same side of the brush as before. See figure 25.
To reassemble, insert the drive pin through the hole
near the end of the brush shaft. Make sure the pin
slides back and forth easily in the shaft.
Lightly grease the shaft and fill the ratchet gear with
grease. Assemble the ratchet gear back onto the
shaft.
Lightly grease the axle and the wheel's gear teeth
and then reassemble the wheel. The brushes should
rotate only during forward rotation of the wheel. If
the brushes are driven (rotated) by both forward and
reverse rotation of the wheel, the drive pin is jamming
in the ratchet gear. Disassemble to clean and lubricate
the drive pin and the ratchet gear.
