OPERATION
Introduction
The SSS Sweepers, Models MS-21 and MS-29 are designed
with two counter rotating brushes that can pick up small and
large debris on hard, flat surfaces. The sweepers will pick up
paper, leaves and general litter – both inside and out. How-
ever they are not designed for dust. The debris is swept into
the hopper and the hopper is easily removed by lifting the
handle; then the hopper can be carried separately for disposal
of the debris.
Assembly
Your sweeper requires little assembly before operation. Fol-
low these simple steps:
1. Secure the front cover to the hopper. Fit them together
by placing the two bottom corners of the hopper to the
locating lugs on the corners of the front cover. After
these are fitted together, the hopper’s handle (Item 21)
can be pushed down - this latches the front cover and
hopper together.
2. Assemble the operator’s handle. The machine handle is
shipped in three parts: the “U” shaped tube and the two
straight lower tubes.
a) First connect each straight tube to the U tube. De-
press the spring clip on the straight tube and slide it
into the U tube until it clicks into the chosen hole.
The handle height is adjusted by selecting either the
top or bottom pair of holes.
b) Connect the handle assembly to the machine. Un-
screw the clamping knobs (Item 2) from each side of
the machine. The handle tubes will fit over the ex-
posed screws. Then screw the knobs back on.
Operation
This sweeper can be used for both indoor and outdoor sweep-
ing.
DO NOT PICK UP ANYTHING THAT IS BURNING OR
SMOKING, SUCH AS CIGARETTES, MATCHES OR HOT
ASHES.
1. Make sure the hopper and front cover are securely fas-
tened (reference Assembly #1).
2. Adjust the handle height for the operator (reference As-
sembly #2).
3. Adjust the brush pressure to accommodate your pick up
needs. The height adjustment dial (Item # 1) is located on
the front of the sweeper. For larger debris use a high
setting, number 1 is the highest position. Move to a
higher number (lower position) for picking up finer de-
bris. Do not press the brushes too firmly to the ground
because this will eventually wear out the drive mecha-
nism.
4. Start sweeping. The overlapping brushes ensure good
coverage. The edge guide rollers on both sides enable
the brushes to reach into corners. Dirt and debris will be
pushed into the hopper as soon as you begin pushing
the sweeper. The carrying capacity of the hopper can be
increased by raising the front of the sweeper, this will
move debris to the back of the hopper.
5. Empty the hopper when you’re done sweeping. Simply
pull up on the hopper’s handle and lift the hopper off the
front cover. Dispose of the debris in an approved waste
receptacle. Clean the hopper if necessary. Reattach the
hopper to the front cover.
6. To transport the sweeper place the handle in the down
position: loosen the clamps on each side of the machine,
then lower the handle toward the brushes until it slides
past the molded stoppers. Retighten the clamps. Re-
member to loosen the clamps before raising the handle
again.
7. Storage: Store the sweeper indoors. The sweeper may be
stored in the standing or hanging position. To hang the
sweeper, place the handle in the down position as de-
scribed in Step 6.

MAINTENANCE
1. Hopper: We recommend that the hopper be emptied after
each use.
2. Clean the hopper and machine by wiping with a dry cloth
as needed.
3. Brushes: After each use, remove any strings or debris.
See Step 5 for cleaning and replacement.
4. Replacement or Cleaning of the Angled Wheels (D): Set
the height adjustment dial to position 8. Pull the angled
wheel (D) strongly, to remove it and its axle from the tooth
sleeve. Clean or replace the wheel, then push it firmly
back into the tooth sleeve. Make sure you place the wheels
back in their correct positions, they are marked L and R
for the left and right positions.
5. Cleaning or Replacement of the Brushes (B) and Nylon
Gear Casing (C): Remove the angled wheel (D) as ex-
plained in Step 4. Pull the brush towards you - the brush
and gear will come away from the pivot housing. The
gear can now be pulled away from the brush. The brushes
and gears may be cleaned with water. The gears should
only be lubricated with silicone spray.
Ensure that the brushes and gears are fitted on the cor-
rect side of the sweeper when reassembling. To guide
you, the inside of the front cover is marked L and R, as are
the wheels (D) and each brush is marked L/// and R\\\
which indicates the direction of the bristle point. To reas-
semble, place the brush over the pivot housing then push
the nylon gear (C) over the pivot housing. Refit the
angled wheel.
