OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

ATTACHING SWEEPER TO TRACTOR
• 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 brackets to the tractor hitch, arranging the 3/4 in. spacers so that the
bottom of the sweeper bag is approximately level and 5 in. to 7 in. above the ground. See figure 25
for tractor hitches that are 10 in. to 13 in. above the ground. See figure 26 for tractor hitches that
are 8 in. to 10 in. above the ground.
BRUSH HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
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. Best adjustment is when the brush setting is
1/2 in. down into the grass. Always mow the grass to an even height before sweeping.
SWEEPING SPEED
Do not exceed 6 m.p.h. Try a starting speed of approximately 3 m.p.h. (third gear). Depending on
the conditions, it may be necessary to adjust the sweeping speed in order to achieve best results.
DUMPING OF SWEEPER
To dump the hopper bag without getting off of the tractor, simply pull on the rope to tilt the hopper
bag forward until it dumps the contents.
