Introduction
OPERATION
TOWING POSITIONS
1. The Sweep Star P48 has 2 Towing positions, operating and
transport.
2. In transport position the sweeper follows directly behind the
tow vehicle. This is used to tow the sweeper to and from the
area being swept. The sweeper can be operated in transport
position in small confined areas.
3. In operating position the sweeper follows to the left of the
tow vehicle. You are not driving on the material you are
sweeping. This position works well in open areas.
4. To offset the hitch in operating position. Stop the tow vehicle,
raise the sweeper head off the ground. Pull the rope handle
then drive slowly forward and turn to the right. Then release
rope tension, drive forward until pin in tongue locks into
hole. Lower sweeper head and began sweeping.
5. To change from operating position to transport position you will
need to stop the tow vehicle, raise the sweeper head, pull the rope
handle back up. The tow vehicle while turning to the left. Release
rope tension until pin in tongue locks into transport hole.
ADJUSTING BRUSH HEIGHT
1. Park sweeper on hard surface. Lower head until roller contacts
surface. Set brake on tow vehicle and shut off engine.
2. Rotate brush so it stops 90° off the surface. For most applications
the brush should be set 1/4" above the hard surface. Some may
require higher or lower settings.
3. To adjust height, loosen eight bolts (A) on roller adjustment plate (C),
four on each side. Then loosen the top two nuts on the adjustment
bolt (D) on each side. To raise the brush tighten the bottom nut and
to lower the brush tighten the top nut.
4. The adjustment decal (B) are for reference only. So both sides can be set the same.
5. After all adjustments are made. Tighten all nuts and adjustment bolts. Test before putting into operation.
DUMPING HOPPER
1. After operating the sweeper for awhile and it is no longer picking up material effectively, it is time to empty
hopper.
2. Make sure your dumping site is level and has adequate overhead clearance to fully raise the hopper.
3. TO empty the hopper. Stop the tow vehicle and lock the park brake. Lower sweeper head so lift cylinder
extends all the way. Then hopper will began to raise. Continue to raise the hopper all the way or until all
material has dumped out of hopper.
4. Lower hopper and hold valve lever down until sweeper head lifts. Then transport back to work site and
continue sweeping until hopper fills again.
