OPERATION
1. BRUSH ADJUSTMENT: Your new trailing
sweeper is equipped with a handy, “from the
rider/tractor seat,” brush adjustment. To
raise, push Tube (7) back and down until
desired sweeping height is attained. To lower,
push Tube (7) back and pull up to desired
sweeping height. See Fig. 4. For best results,
brush should merely flick tops of grass blades.
Brushes should be raised when
transporting to and from sweeping area.
2. SWEEPING SPEED: For best results,
rider/tractor should travel at a 3 to 5 M.P.H.
range.
3. DUMPING: Exclusive rear dump action with
Lift-Out Hamper feature. To dump, merely
pull on nylon rope until hamper turns over
dumping debris. Return hamper slowly to its
original position by keeping pressure on rope.
