While operating sweeper
DANGER
FALL HAZARD - DO NOT OPERATE NEAR UNGUARDED EDGES.

This sweeper is not intended for roof top use.

When operating sweeper, adhere to all government rules, local laws and other professional guidelines for
your sweeping application.

Minimize flying debris - use the slowest rotating speed that will do the job.

Keep hands, feet, hair and other loose clothing away from all moving parts.

Before leaving the operator’s position for any reason stop engine.
NOTICE : AVOID TRANSMISSION DAMAGE. Do not shift while in motion.
WARNING
Leave the brush hood (shield) and all other shields and safety equipment in place when operating the sweeper.

When sweeping on rough terrain, reduce speed to avoid “bouncing” the sweeper. Loss of control can result.

Never sweep toward people, buildings, vehicles or other objects that can be damaged by flying debris.

Only operate the controls while the engine is running.

While you operate the sweeper slowly in an open area, check for proper operation of all controls and all
protective devices. Note any repairs needed during operation of the sweeper. Report any needed repairs.
OPERATION
Before each use
Perform daily maintenance as indicated in Maintenance Schedule.
Run the sweeper at a low idle, check for proper brush rotation and drive engagement.
WARNING
AVOID SERIOUS INJURY.
Check for large objects that could harm the operator or others if thrown by the sweeper. Remove these items
before operating.
During use
Directing Debris

Avoid excessive downward pressure on the brush sections to prevent excessive wear. A two to four inch wide
pattern is sufficient for most applications.

Direct debris by angling the brush head in that direction.

Observe wind direction. Sweeping with the wind makes sweeping more effective and helps keep debris off
the operator.
