OPERATION
Introduction
These manual operated sweepers are designed with two
counter rotating brushes that can pick up small and large de-
bris on hard, flat surfaces. The sweepers will pick up paper,
leaves and general litter – both inside and out. However they
are not designed for dust. The debris is swept into the hopper
and the hopper is easily removed by lifting the handle; then
the hopper can be carried separately for disposal of the debris.
Assembly
Your sweeper requires little assembly before operation.
Follow these simple steps:
1.
Secure the front cover to the hopper.
Fit them together
by placing the two bottom corners of the hopper to the
locating lugs on the corners of the front cover. After
these are fitted together, the hopper’s handle (Item 21)
can be pushed down - this latches the front cover and
hopper together.
2.
Assemble the operator’s handle.
The machine handle is
shipped in three parts: the “U” shaped tube and the two
straight lower tubes.
a) First connect each straight tube to the U tube. De-
press the spring clip on the straight tube and slide it
into the U tube until it clicks into the chosen hole.
The handle height is adjusted by selecting either the
top or bottom pair of holes.
b) Connect the handle assembly to the machine. Un-
screw the clamping knobs (Item 2) from each side of
the machine. The handle tubes will fit over the ex-
posed screws. Then screw the knobs back on.
Operation
This sweeper can be used for both indoor and outdoor sweep-
ing.
DO NOT PICK UP ANYTHING THAT IS BURNING OR
SMOKING, SUCH AS CIGARETTES, MATCHES OR HOT
ASHES.
1.
Make sure the hopper and front cover are
securely fas-
tened
(reference Assembly #1).
2.
Adjust the
handle height
for the operator (reference As-
sembly #2).
3.
Adjust the
brush pressure
to accommodate your pick up
needs. The height adjustment dial (Item # 1) is located on
the front of the sweeper. For larger debris use a high
setting, number 1 is the highest position. Move to a
higher number (lower position) for picking up finer de-
bris. Do not press the brushes too firmly to the ground
because this will eventually wear out the drive mecha-
nism.
4.
Start sweeping.
The overlapping brushes ensure good
coverage. The edge guide rollers (MiniSweep and
MaxiSweep Models) on both sides enable the brushes to
reach into corners. Dirt and debris will be pushed into the
hopper as soon as you begin pushing the sweeper. The
carrying capacity of the hopper can be increased by rais-
ing the front of the sweeper, this will move debris to the
back of the hopper.
5.
Empty the hopper
when you’re done sweeping. Simply
pull up on the hopper’s handle and lift the hopper off the
front cover. Dispose of the debris in an approved waste
receptacle.
Clean
the hopper if necessary.
Reattach
the
hopper to the front cover.
6.
To
transport
the sweeper place the handle in the down
position: loosen the clamps on each side of the machine,
then lower the handle toward the brushes until it slides
past the molded stoppers. Retighten the clamps. Re-
member to loosen the clamps before raising the handle
again.
7.
Storage
: Store the sweeper indoors. The sweeper may be
stored in the standing or hanging position. To hang the
sweeper, place the handle in the down position as de-
scribed in Step 6.
