OPERATION
ThATCh
Low brush speeds and low prime mover speeds do the best thatching job.
To prevent the brush from pulling itself into the ground, adjust the spring-chain assembly
so the bristle tips barely touch the grass.
If the brush pulls into the grass and stalls while sweeping, use the lift to raise the brush.
Do
not increase throttle to override a stall out.
Use a combination of brush speeds and ground speeds that rolls up a neat windrow.
To keep thatch from blowing back into a swept area, sweep with the wind at your back
or in the direction the brush is angled.
WATERLESS DUST ABATEMENT SYSTEM (VACUUM)
The Waterless Dust Abatement System (Vacuum Attachment) is not available on the
240 Series, optional on the 241 Series and standard equipment on the 242 Series Pick-Up
Sweepers.
The Waterless Dust Abatement System (Vacuum Attachment) requires that the
sweepers skirting (flaps) are properly installed.
OPERATION
Shut the vacuum fan off (using the control lever on the vacuum attachment motor
assembly) when operating in wet or damp conditions or when shaking the filter.
NOTICE: Running the shaker while the vacuum fan is ON will embed dirt into the filter.
This will cause extra maintenance and possible damage to the filter.
ShAKING FILTER
The filter needs to be shaken before dumping debris or when obstruction occurs and
allows dust to escape.
To shake filter:
a. Stop bush rotation
b. Shut the fan OFF
c. Operate the shaker motor for 5-10 seconds by holding down the electric control
box switch on the wire harness.
NOTICE: Debris build up between the filter basket and the body may prevent the filter
from shaking. Place a 1” support between the filter basket and body and remove debris.
CLEANING FILTER
After extended use or from certain material being collected it may be necessary to
remove and clean the filter element.
To clean filter:
a. Lift the cover and remove filter from filter box.
b. Place in a position that will allow the use of a garden hose to remove debris. DO
NOT USE A PRESSURE WASHER OR COMPRESSED AIR.
c. Allow filter to dry before re-installing.
NOTICE: Do not operate the sweeper or the vacuum fan without a filter installed.
NOTICE: This system is not designed for use with portland cement, lime and grain
collection. Contact Sweepster for additional information.
