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.
Break-In
1. ProPaddle sweeper drums with new paddle belts must be broken-in before use to prevent the belts from
gripping and dragging on hard surfaces.
2. Grip the handles firmly, and position ProPaddle well out in
front of your body.
3. Run the ProPaddle at full throttle for 3 - 5 minutes on a
rough, abrasive surface such as worn asphalt paving. Allow
the ProPaddle's weight to fully rest on the paddle belts.
4. After break-in, the paddle belt fins will slide easily over the
surface being cleaned, providing more efficient operation on
a variety of surfaces.
Sweeping Operation
1. Hold unit from left side, resting sweeper paddles on work
surface.
2. Firmly grasp throttle grip with right hand and front handle
with left hand.
3. Position ProPaddle well out in front of your body.
4. Accelerate to full throttle and allow paddles to push debris
ahead. Sweep to an area where debris can be piled and
collected.
Do not operate ProPaddle with paddles close to your body,
which could result in loss of control and possible serious
injury.
