out of box and stand upright.

until the unit is completely assembled.

something is missing, notify the dealer/distributor
where unit was purchased. If unable to purchase
parts locally, contact the Parker Sweeper

HANDLE ASSEMBLY
NOTE: See Figure 1 Handle Assembly on Page 7 of
this owner’s guide for reference to numbers used in
the following instructions.

nuts (21) from the bottoms of the upper
handles (2) and (3).
2. Place upper handles (2) and (3) over the ends
of the lower handles (4).
3. Align the lower holes in both upper and lower
handles. Replace hexagon head bolts (15)
(removed in Step 1) to each of the lower
holes.

assembled to bolts (15) assembled in Step 3
Assemble hexagon lock nuts (21). DO NOT

tightened enough that at least two of the bolt
