Cleaning with Non-Rotary Attachments
“Remove & Rinse” Cleaning with the “Gutter Brush”
Step 1:
Determine Type of Build-Up in Gutters:
- Refer to page 4
Step 2:
Connect as many pole sections as needed to reach desired gutter height.
Note: A 6 ft. Extension Kit is available and sold separately (Item #GSX906)
Step 3:
Attach the “Gutter Brush” to the curved tube section at an angle and
direction best suited for your cleaning method.
Step 4:
Install “Grip Handle” at the very bottom of base pole section facing “up”
(See Photo). This gives you much more control as you apply a twisting
motion while lifting the debris up and out of gutter.
Step 5:
It’s recommended that you start cleaning the gutter from the down spout
end and drag the debris “away” from the downspout. This helps prevent
excessive debris from falling into the downspout.
Helpful Hints:
• On windy days, work in the same direction as the wind (with the wind).
This will prevent the leaves from blowing toward you as you drag & lift
them out of the gutter.
• Angle the Gutter Brush/Scoop slightly away from you while cleaning to
help prevent the debris from falling toward you.
Step 6:
As you drag the Gutter Brush down the gutter, stop occasionally to
remove the debris. Remove the debris by tilting the tool back slightly and
push into the debris as you lift the debris up & out of the gutter. Twist the
poles as the debris lifts out of the gutter to help drag away from gutter
opening.
When you reach a gutter support, lift as much debris out of the gutter as possible and then push remaining debris
under & past support.
Lift the Gutter Brush up & over support.
While lowering back into gutter, angle the brush back under support to grab debris then continue the “drag & lift”
process.
