SWEEPING TIPS
1. Unfold Basket (18).
2. Place Upper Wooden Basket Rods into Basket
Supports (6) on Upper Handle Assembly (5).
3. Place Lower Wooden Basket Rods into Basket
Brackets (8) & (9) until Basket Retainers (10) hold
in place.
4. Unfold Wind Apron (17) and attach Hooks to the
back of Basket (18).
1. The efficiency of this unit depends on the proper adjustment by loosening Adjusting Knob.
2. With Knob loosened slide Frame Assembly up, to lower Brushes, or down, to raise Brushes.
3. When unit is at desired height tighten Adjusting Knob.
4. When using Sweeper in grass make sure Brushes are just touching the top of the grass. If Brushes are adjusted
too low it may cause Sweeper to flip over when using the Towing Package or when used manually.
5. To clean sidewalks or driveways lower the Sweeper until Brushes just touch the surface of pavement.
NOTE: If the Brushes do not rotate and the Wheels slide when Sweeper is being used, Brushes are set too low.
GENERAL NOTE: Avoid severe steep slopes that may cause Sweeper to turn over when being used.
1. Use Sweeper in early Spring to give your lawn a healthful cleaning.
2. Use Sweeper after mowing to remove turf clippings and give the lawn a blanket-like effect.
3. Sweep often in Fall as leaves are dropping. Do not wait until leaves are all off trees.
4. For best sweeping results keep lawn cut short. When sweeping turf clippings do not overload Basket. Turf clippings
are heavy and overloading Basket will put unnecessary stress on Basket.
5. To reduce the number of loads required when picking up leaves, it may be easier to mow over the leaf area at your
normal mowing height before using the Sweeper. The mowing will break up the leaves allowing them to compact
when picked up with the Sweeper. This may reduce your leaf loads to approximately one quarter the number
required when picking up whole leaves.
