Your new SW38PRE lawn sweeper is precision manufactured using the finest in tools and materials. Although it is
ruggedly constructed, do not subject this unit to misuse. Be sure to wipe off your unit after each use. Store in a
dry place out of direct sunlight. Do not permit the lawn sweeper to stand in the hot sun, unless it is in actual use.
You will find many work saving uses for your lawn sweeper. Use it early in the spring to give your lawn a good healthy
scrubbing. Use it throughout spring and summer before and after mowing. Sweeping your lawn before mowing stands
the grass up for a clean, even cut. It also allows increased protection to your mower by removing sticks, stones and
nuts, which might damage the blade(s) on your mower. Sweeping your lawn after mowing will whisk away unsightly
grass clippings - leaving your lawn velvety smooth.

OPERATION:
Brush Adjustment: Your new trailer-sweeper is
equipped with a handy, “From Your Seat” brush
adjustment. To raise, push Height Adjustment Tube
back and down until desired sweeping height is
attained. To lower, push Height Adjustment Tube
back and pull up to desired sweeping height (See Fig 18).
For best results, brushes should barely touch the top
of the grass blades. Brushes should be raised when
transporting the unit to and from sweeping area.
Sweeping Speed: For best results, rider/tractor
should travel at a 3 to 5 M.P.H. range.
Dumping: Simply pull the Hamper Dump Rope
forward to empty debris (See Fig. 19). Slowly ease
the Hamper Dump Rope back, keeping even
pressure, until the Hamper returns back down.
CAUTION: DO NOT ALLOW THE HAMPER DUMP
ROPE TO HAVE TOO MUCH SLACK IN IT WHEN
OPERATING. THE ROPE CAN GET CAUGHT IN
THE BRUSHES CAUSING INJURIES.

MAINTENANCE:
Lubrication: Remove wheel by removing plastic hubcap and snap ring.
Apply a light multipurpose grease to wheel gear and pinion gear.
NOTE: DO NOT allow grease to enter center of pinion gear. Lubricate
at the beginning of each season or more often as conditions dictate.
See Fig. 20.
Remove pinion gear and oil pawl with SAE #20 or equivalent. Do not
apply grease or heavy oil to pawl. This causes the pawl to stick and
operate erratically. When installing pinion and pawl, refer to Fig 21 for
correct position.
Apply SAE #20 oil or equivalent to brush axle bearings twice a season.
Oil Hamper pivot pins occasionally to prevent rust and insure easy
dumping.

Brush Replacement:
Place brush strips in slots of brush disc so
shorter supporting bristles are away from
brush sweeping rotation. Secure at each
disc with three holder springs. Feed spring
through hole in 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. 22

For best results, brushes should barely touch the top
of the grass blades. Brushes should be raised when
transporting the unit to and from sweeping area.
Sweeping Speed: For best results, rider/tractor
should travel at a 3 to 5 M.P.H. range.
Dumping: Simply pull the Hamper Dump Rope
forward to empty debris (See Fig. 19). Slowly ease
the Hamper Dump Rope back, keeping even
pressure, until the Hamper returns back down.
CAUTION: DO NOT ALLOW THE HAMPER DUMP
ROPE TO HAVE TOO MUCH SLACK IN IT WHEN
OPERATING. THE ROPE CAN GET CAUGHT IN
THE BRUSHES CAUSING INJURIES.

MAINTENANCE:
Lubrication: Remove wheel by removing plastic hubcap and snap ring.
Apply a light multipurpose grease to wheel gear and pinion gear.
NOTE: DO NOT allow grease to enter center of pinion gear. Lubricate
at the beginning of each season or more often as conditions dictate.
See Fig. 20.
Remove pinion gear and oil pawl with SAE #20 or equivalent. Do not
apply grease or heavy oil to pawl. This causes the pawl to stick and
operate erratically. When installing pinion and pawl, refer to Fig 21 for
correct position.
Apply SAE #20 oil or equivalent to brush axle bearings twice a season.
Oil Hamper pivot pins occasionally to prevent rust and insure easy
dumping.

Brush Replacement:
Place brush strips in slots of brush disc so
shorter supporting bristles are away from
brush sweeping rotation. Secure at each
disc with three holder springs. Feed spring
through hole in 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. 22
