OPERATION
Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries. Keep hands, clothing and loose objects
away from all openings. Always stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and make sure all moving parts
have come to a completestop before removing obstructions, clearing debris, or servicing unit. Allow
unit to cool before performing service.
Note: Refer to your Pro Attachment Series or Split Boom Operator's Manuals for correct engine fueling,
starting and stopping instructions.
Operating Techniques
1. Hold unit on your right side resting sweeper brushes on work surface.
2. Firmly grasp throttle grip with right hand and front handle with left hand.
3. Position ProSweep at an angle to the work surface well out in
front of your body.
The sweeper brushes rotate towards the operator. Do not
operate ProSweep at an angle with brushes close to your body
which could result in loss of control and possible serious injury.
4. Accelerate to full throttle and allow brushes to push debris
ahead. Sweep to an area where debris can be piled and
collected.
Extended use of unit at low throttle settings could cause damage to
clutch because of clutch slipping.
5. Debris may be swept out and away from corners by turning unit
over to reverse brush direction. Grip unit securely using both
hands. Operate throttle trigger with thumb of right hand. For
extended use, reposition front handle to allow comfortable grip.
Return handle to normal position for regular operation.
Turning ProSweep over to reverse sweeper drum rotation will
cause debris to be swept toward operator. Reduce engine speed, and be alert for unstable footing
caused by loose debris.
