Normal lawn sweeping is accomplished when the brushes sweep at the same height as the mower cutting height.
IMPORTANT:
Setting the brush height too low for sweeping conditions causes excessive wheel skipping and slipping.
For best performance, adjust brush height as high as possible for the material and conditions.
Higher numbers on the Lock Arm (1) decal
indicate higher brush heights.
For best performance, brush height should be set to the highest
possible number while still adequately sweeping the lawn.

It is recommended to set the
brush height at a higher number
than is anticipated to be needed
and perform a short sweeping test
on the lawn. Reduce brush height
one setting at a time until the
desired sweeping performance
is achieved.
