to level the tow tubes to the ground. This can be accomplished by removing
the clevis and adjusting the clevis up or down (refer to step 5). After the tow
tubes are approximately level, the hamper stop assembly may have to be
adjusted so the hamper assembly clears the ground.
1. Loosen two nuts (9) slightly, securing each side of hamper stop
bracket (34) to brush housing. The rear bracket mounting holes in
the brush housing are slotted, allowing the bracket to be pivoted

TRANSPORTING YOUR SWEEPER
OPERATING YOUR SWEEPER
Determining Weight for Cart
The following maximum loaded weight capacity is the average
weight of the sweeper plus the weight loaded in the hamper and
dethatcher attachment.
CAUTION: Avoid injury! If additional weight is
required when towing, add weight at or forward
of the rear wheels. Adding weight behind the
rear wheels can affect vehicle steering.
Refer to your towing vehicle manual.
ADJUSTING BRUSH HEIGHT
NOTE: Setting brush height too low for sweeping conditions causes
excessive wheel slippage. For maximum performance, adjust brush
height as high as possible for the material and conditions.
1. Pivot lift handle (A) away from lock plate (B) to disengage lock pin in
handle from index hole in lock plate.
2. Move lift handle forward (towards the towing vehicle) to lower brush
height, or back (toward the housing) to raise the brush height. Align
lock pin with appropriate index hole in lock plate and release lift
handle to secure height adjustment.
Normal lawn sweeping is accomplished when the brushes sweep at the
same height as the mower cutting height.
Brush Height Sweeping Conditions
25mm (1 in.) to
50mm (2 in.)
Mowed lawns under normal conditions, or light
leaves.
50mm (2 in.) to
75mm (3 in.)
High grass, heavy leaves or heavy grass clippings.
To adjust the sweeper for transport:
1. Park vehicle on a hard, level surface and set parking brake.
2. Pivot lift handle (A) away from lock plate (B) to disengage
lock pin handle from index hole in lock plate.
3. Move lift handle back (toward the housing) to raise the brush
height.
4. Align the lock pin with the farthest index hole in lock plate (B)
and release lift handle (A) to secure height adjustment.

Farthest index hole
Towing capacity will vary with weight of towing vehicle and operator.
Add the weight of your machine to operator weight to find the maximum
capacity for towing.
Example:
If Towing vehicle weighs: 400 lbs.
Add your weight: 200 lbs.
Combined weight equals: 600 lbs.
To maintain stability in this example, you cannot safely tow more than
600 lbs. without first adding additional ballast to the towing vehicle.
A

CAUTION: Avoid injury! Excessive towed load
can cause loss of traction and loss of control on
slopes. Stopping distance increases with speed
and weight of towed load.
Total towed weight must not exceed combined
weight of towing vehicle, ballast and operator.

CAUTION: Avoid injury! If additional weight is
required when towing, add weight at or forward
of the rear wheels. Adding weight behind the
rear wheels can affect vehicle steering.
Refer to your towing vehicle manual.
ADJUSTING BRUSH HEIGHT
NOTE: Setting brush height too low for sweeping conditions causes
excessive wheel slippage. For maximum performance, adjust brush
height as high as possible for the material and conditions.
1. Pivot lift handle (A) away from lock plate (B) to disengage lock pin in
handle from index hole in lock plate.
2. Move lift handle forward (towards the towing vehicle) to lower brush
height, or back (toward the housing) to raise the brush height. Align
lock pin with appropriate index hole in lock plate and release lift
handle to secure height adjustment.
Normal lawn sweeping is accomplished when the brushes sweep at the
same height as the mower cutting height.

STORING
The sweeper can be tipped upright and stored against a wall
using a minimum of space:
1. Remove any loose material from hamper and brush
housing / drive assembly. The sweeper should be clean
and dry before configuring for storage.
2. Remove small hairpin cotters and clevis pins securing
hamper assembly to brush housing and remove hamper
assembly.
3. Remove the hamper spring rods and collapse the hamper.
4. Remove large hairpin cotter and hitch pin from hitch clevis,
if stored there.
5. Move lift handle to the index hole farthest forward (toward
the tow tubes).
6. Roll sweeper to desired storage area, lift hitch clevis (A) to
pivot sweeper to vertical position and resting on the tubes (B)
at rear of sweeper (bottom of sweeper should face wall).
7. Lift the collapsed hamper assembly by the rear tubes,
positioning the middle of the upper rear tube (C) at the center
hamper cut-out over the opening in the hitch clevis (the inside
of the hamper faces the lift handle and tow tubes, and the
bottom (D) of the hamper facing outward). Lower the hamper
to rest in the hitch clevis.
8. Replace hitch pin and large hairpin cotter.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Sweeper does not pick up:
1. The adjustment lever is set too low. A sweeper is not a dethatcher and
cannot pull thatch, embedded needles or leaves from deep in the grass.
The adjustment height should be set to the height of the mower deck
blades.
2. The adjustment lever is set too high. Lower the adjustment lever.
3. There is a problem with the drive system. See the "Sweeper Wheels"
section.
Grass goes over the top of the Hamper:
1. Forward speed is too fast. Slow the towing vehicle down. Best speed
is 3 mph or less. (3 mph = 40 feet in 9 seconds).
2. Wind screen can be used to break wind coming over the top of the
hamper. Slower forward speeds must be used when using the wind
screen.
Sweeper Wheels....Not moving... Skip...Lock-up:
1. The brush is not turning or stops turning. The adjustment lever is set
too low. Measure the cut height of the mower. Set the brush height to
sweep the same as the cut height.
2. The drive dowel (21) located inside the small metal drive pinion (24
& 25) are sticking. Remove, clean, and lubricate the dowel with a light
oil (WD40, 3 in 1). Do not use motor oil or grease. This should be done
at least once per season. We recommend in the fall before storage as
a minimum.
3. The drive pinion is worn and because of the wear it locks up the drive
dowel. Replace the drive pinions. R-2485LH and R-2485RH.
4. The drive pinions when re-installed were installed backwards...ie. the
right side (as if you are sitting on the tractor seat looking forward) was
installed on the left. Remove the pinions. On the back side (opposite)
the gears, there is a stamp "R" and "L." Make sure the pinion with the
"R" is installed on the right side.
Hamper drags the ground:
1. The tow bars are not horizontal to the ground when attached to the
tractor. Remove the clevis and reinstall in a different set of holes. The
clevis can be turned over to get additional adjustment.
See Installation Step 5.
2. After adjustments in Step 1 are complete, adjustments to hamper stop
bracket can be made. See "Leveling Hamper" section.
