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.

4. Grease Wheel Axle at beginning of season
and before each use thereafter.
5. Apply SAE #20 oil or equivalent to Brush Axle
Bearings twice a season.
6. Oil Hamper Pivot Pins occasionally to prevent

BRUSH REPLACEMENT: Place Brush Strips in
slots of Brush Disc so shorter supporting bristles
are away from Brush sweeping rotation. Secure

Spring thru hole of Disc. Place upper point into
bristles with point next to Disc. With Pliers, grasp
Springs, turn and raise upward so lower point is
secured on backing of second Brush. Tap each
end of Spring with Pliers to make certain that the
points are completely down into bristles. See Fig.
