engaged. Engage brush slowly with brush set at proper
height.
Adjust caster wheels to the hole nearest 1/8-1/4 inch
(3-6 mm) above surface. For hard surfaces, adjust the
caster wheels so that brush just touches surface. The
brush works best with the brush properly leveled. To

a stationary position for 30 seconds.
3. Lift the brush head assembly off the ground and
reverse the unit to move it away from the swept
area.
4. Stop engine and allow all moving parts to stop.
5. Check the width of the swept area. The brush
pattern should be 2-3 inches (5.08-7.6 cm) wide,
running the length of the brush. (See Figure 6).
6. To adjust, remove the caster wheel support pins
(one each side). Slide caster wheel supports up
or down as required. Align the holes in the outer
sleeve with the holes in the wheel supports.
7. Reinstall the adjustment pins at the new position.
8. Repeat steps 1- 7 until proper adjustment is
attained.

IMPORTANT: See Engine Manual for correct
orientation of air cleaner cover prior to starting engine.
2. Check Function of Clutches
Brush must stop quickly when attachment clutch lever
is released.
Wheels must stop quickly when traction drive clutch
lever is released.
If clutches do not engage or disengage properly, adjust
or repair before operation (see Service and
Adjustments).
3. Check Dual Handle Interlock
Without the engine running, press down (engage) both
clutch levers. Release attachment clutch lever.
Attachment clutch should remain engaged until traction
clutch lever is released, then both clutches must

to come to a complete stop.
3. Run unit a few minutes after use to prevent
freeze-up.
4. Move throttle to Part Throttle or Slow position.
5. Turn off engine shut-off switch ("O").
USING THE BRUSH
After proper Pre-Start and Starting:
1. Select speed control position and direction.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT overload unit capacity by
sweeping at too fast a rate.
2. Engage the traction drive clutch first.
3. Engage the attachment clutch next.
Tips for Sweeping
To clear an area, run unit in an overlapping series of
paths. For large areas, start in the middle and sweep
debris to each side, so it is not cleared more than once.
ALWAYS direct discharge away from area to be
cleared and with direction of the wind.
Snow is best removed as soon as possible after snow
fall.
Tips for Dethatching
Dethatch in the spring to clear winter undergrowth.
Adjust brush height so it just touches the grass.
Set the brush angle full left or full right so thatch gets
cleared only once.
Dethatch dry grass.
Use a slow speed to clear thatch without damaging the
lawn.
TRAVELING
To travel from one work area to another:
1. Set throttle to SLOW position or slightly higher.
2. Press down the handlebars enough to raise the
front of the unit slightly off the surface.

CHECK DUAL HANDLE INTERLOCK
Without the engine running, press down (engage) both
clutch levers. Release attachment clutch lever.
Attachment clutch should remain engaged until traction
clutch lever is released, then both clutches must
disengage.
CHECK FASTENERS
Make sure all hardware is tightened properly.
CHECK CLUTCH OPERATION
Brush must stop quickly when attachment clutch lever
is released.
Wheels must stop quickly when traction drive clutch
lever is released.
If clutches do not engage or disengage properly, adjust
or repair before operation (see Service and
Adjustments).
CHECK CLUTCH SPRING ADJUSTMENT
Make sure the attachment clutch and traction drive
clutch are adjusted to the range specified in
Attachment Clutch/Brake Adjustment on page 14 and
