BRUSH SPEED
To increase brush speed, increase prime mover RPM. Use the LOWEST speed needed
to complete the job at hand. In general, half throttle provides the necessary engine speed.
RUN, SWING AND LIFT CONTROLS
Run, swing and lift functions vary according to how the unit is equipped. The sweeper
controls are activated by switches on the control box. Refer to operation decal on control box.
MANUAL ANGLE
• Remove the lock pin from links.
• Position the brush head at the desired angle, aligning holes in the inner and outer link.
• Insert and close the lock pin.
HYDRAULIC ANGLE
• Start the prime mover.
• Engage the hydraulics.
• Position the brush head at the desired angle.
BEFORE OPERATING SWEEPER

OPERATION
OPERATION
Carry the sweeper low to the ground so the operator has good visibility and stability.
Avoid any sudden movements. Observe wind direction. Sweeping with the wind makes
sweeping more effective and helps keep debris off the operator.
The terms swing and angle are used interchangeably.
Basic Sweeping Operation:
With the sweeper level and the brush pattern adjusted you are ready to begin sweeping.
1. Swing the brush head assembly in the direction that you want to direct debris.
2. Start the prime mover at an idle and raise the brush.
3. Engage the brush head and then lower it to the ground.
4. Increase prime mover engine RPM. Using the lowest speed needed to complete the job
at hand.
5. Beginforwardtravelat5MPH(8kph)orless.
DANGER! Avoid electrical shock. Stay away from overhead wires.
WHILE OPERATING SWEEPER
• When operating sweeper, adhere to all government rules, local laws and other professional
guidelines for your sweeping application.
• Avoid excessive downward pressure on brush sections to prevent excessive wear. A
2to4inch(5-10cm)widepatternissufcientformostapplications.Ensurethatthe
sweeper is level to prevent uneven wear pattern.
• Before exiting the prime mover, lower the attachment to the ground, apply the brakes, turn
off the prim mover’s engine and remove the key.
• Minimizeyingdebris-useslowestrotatingspeedthatwilldothejob.
• Keep hands, feet, hair and other loose clothing away from all moving parts.
• Leave all shields and safety equipment in place when operating sweeper and primer mover.
• Be aware of the extra weight and width a sweeper adds. Reduce travel speed accordingly.
Keep in mind the center of gravity changes when an attachment is installed.
• When traveling on rough terrain, reduce speed to avoid “bouncing” the sweeper. Loss of
steering can result.
• Never sweep toward people, buildings, vehicles or other objects that can be damaged by
yingdebris.
• Only operate sweeper from the operator’s station of the prime mover. Only operate controls
while the engine is running.
• Operate sweeper slowly in open area, check for proper operation of all controls and all
protective devices. Report any needed repairs.
