WARNING 

Before  operating  or  using  the  sweeper,  review  the  instructions  below  and  safety  information.   
Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage and/or injury to the operator or 
bystanders. 

 
 
Attach the Sweeper to the Towing Vehicle 

On a level surface, line up the towing vehicle with sweeper. Use the hitch pin and spacers to 
adjust the height of the tow hitch, as shown in the diagram. Once adjusted, insert the R Pin Ø3 to 
secure the hitch pin. For best results, the hopper should be level with the ground at a minimum 
clearance of 5”. Secure the rope to the tow vehicle.   
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Adjust the Height of the Brushes 

Use the height adjustment handle to set the height of the brushes. For optimal results, the brush height 
should be ½” below the tips of the grass. For sweeping other materials, you may need to adjust the 
height of the brushes.   

 
Towing the Sweeper 

Your  sweeper  is  designed  to  work  at  speeds  of  5mph  and  lower.  You  may  damage  the  device  or 
experience  sub-optimal  results  if  exceeding  5mph.  Your  sweeper  will  work  best  on  flat,  smooth 
surfaces.  If  operating  on  a  slope,  always  tow  the  sweeper  up  or  down  the  surface  of  the  hill,  not 
sideways along the slope.   

 

Dumping the Hopper 

When dumping the hopper, use the rope to pull the basket forward. Dump the hopper regularly for best 
performance.   
 
 

CAUTION 

Always keep body parts clear from and clothing detached from the sweeper and rope. 
Keep sweeper away from fire or excessive heat will cause damage to the brushes and bag.
