LEVELING THE HAMPER
OPERATION
After correct brush height is determined, it may be necessary
to adjust the Hamper Stop (47) so that the Hamper assembly
remains clear of the ground.
TO ADJUST THE HAMPER STOP (47):
1.
Loosen (but do not remove) the two Nuts (25) securing
each side of the Hamper Stop (47).
The rear mounting holes are slotted, allowing the Hamper
Stop (47) to be pivoted up or down for adjustment.
2.
Move the Hamper Stop (47) up or down to adjust the
resting position of the Hamper assembly so that it is
approximately level.
3.
Tighten Nuts (25) on each side to secure the Hamper Stop
(47) in position.
If correct Hamper assembly adjustment is not possible, the Clevis
Assembly (68) may need to be readjusted so that the Hamper
assembly has adequate clearance to the ground.
The sweeper Tow Tubes should be parallel with the ground (or angled slightly forward) when the sweeper is connected to the towing
vehicle. If the Tow Tubes are angled rearward, adjust the Tow Tube mounting holes on the Clevis Assembly (68) lower. This will angle
the Tow Tubes forward and raise the Hamper assembly.

OPERATING SPEED
The operating ground speed of the sweeper has a direct effect on how material is thrown into the hamper. Material will be thrown
farther toward the back of the hamper as ground speed increases.
Operation speed will depend on the condition of the lawn and material being swept. Operate the sweeper at a ground speed that will
throw material to the back of the hamper. Under normal conditions 3 mph (approximately the speed of a brisk walk or 40 feet in 9
seconds) works best.
Maximum operating speed is 5 mph.
