HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE PS-27
1. Remove the four (4) handle mounting screws from the handle brackets on the machine.
2. Slide the handle over the angle brackets. Line up the holes in the handle with the holes in the handle brackets and reinstall
the four (4) screws.
3. Pull the handle on top of the hopper upward and lift the hopper off of the machine.
4. Lower the side broom into the side broom bracket so that the holes in the bracket are lined up with the hole in the arm.
5. Slide the pin (from the hardware package) through the holes in the bracket and into the arm. Position the pin so that
it is centered on the bracket.
6. Install the black Phillips head screw on the side broom. Tighten the screw to hold the pin in place.
7. Lift the right, rear wheel off of the ground and put the belt around the pulley on the inside of the wheel. Pivot the side
broom arm all the way up.
8. Pull the belt towards the front of the machine and twist the belt ¼ turn counter-clockwise (the part of the belt from the
top of the rear wheel should move away from the machine.)
9. Lift the belt so that it is outside of the side broom arm and install it around the side broom pulley.
10. Route the belt between the two (2) white plastic pulleys.
11. Install the side broom on the side broom arm using the three (3) screws and the three (3) lockwashers.
12. Lower the side broom arm and position the belt so that it runs through the side broom arm.
13. Screw the side broom adjustment knob into the side broom arm. Adjust the knob so that about 1/3 of the side broom
bristles are touching the floor.
14. Loosen the two (2) screws that hold the side broom bracket against the chassis. Make sure that the height adjustment
screw is between the edges of the stop bracket on the frame.
15. Pull the side broom forward as far as the belt will allow, and tighten the screws.
HOW TO OPERATE THE PS-27 SWEEPER
1. Adjust the height of the main sweeping broom so that the bristles just touch the floor. NOTE: Sweeping performance
will be poor and the machine will be hard to push if the main broom is set too low.
2. Lower the side broom when sweeping along curbs or walls. NOTE: Adjust the side broom height so that 1/3 of the bristles
are touching the floor.
3. Push the machine forward to enable the main broom to kick dirt and debris into the dirt hopper. NOTE: The machine
will not sweep when it is pulled backward.
4. Lift the hopper off of the machine and empty it after each use, or whenever debris is left behind the machine.
