How to Sweep Lawn:
Remove large debris from lawn. 1.
Do not sweep if conditions are too wet or muddy. 2.
Attach Lawn Sweeper to tractor using supplied hitch pin. The reversable 3.
hitch allows the Lawn Sweeper to accomodate varying tractor hitch heights
by fliping over; choose the appropriate setting so that Lawn Sweeper hitch
tubes are roughly level with the ground and Bag is not touching the ground.
Attach dump rope to tractor so that it cannot contact the brushes or wheels. 4.
Start tractor engine and tow Lawn Sweeper to lawn in setting 7. 5.
Adjust brush height so that brushes extend roughly 1/2" below the tips of the 6.
grass. For best performance, always set the brushes to highest effective
setting to minimize resistance on brushes and wheels.
Engage tractor drive at its slowest speed and begin sweeping. Increase 7.
tractor speed as required to throw material to the back of the hopper bag.
DO NOT EXCEED 6 MPH.
Sweep in straight lines whenever possible and avoid sharp turns. 8.
Periodically check the sweeper while operating to ensure that wheels and 9.
brushes are rotating smoothly and that nothing is wrapped around the
brushes or brush shaft.
When filled, the hopper bag can be emptied by pulling the dump rope 10.
forward.
Before Using Lawn Sweeper:
Read all Safety Rules found on page 1. 1.
