STEP 18 - ASSEMBLE PIVOT ROD
• Slide the end of the pivot rod through the upper
hopper tube and the hopper mount clamps on one
side of the hopper. Place a hopper support strap
and then a bag arm tube onto the rod. Slide the rod
through the stitched sleeve at the front edge of the
wind screen, and then place another bag arm tube
and a hopper support strap onto the rod. Slide the
rod through the other upper hopper tube and hopper
mount clamps. See figure 18.
STEP 20 - ATTACH HOPPER BAG
• To attach the hopper bag to the sweeper, slide the
ends of the bag arm tubes into the ends of the hitch
tubes and secure with two clevis pins (P) and hairpin
cotters (M). See figure 22.
STEP 19 - ATTACH ROPE
• Secure the rope to the center of the upper rear hopper
tube as shown in figure 21.
FIGURE 22
• Assemble a vinyl cap (U) onto each bag arm tube as
shown in figure 20.
• Assemble two palnuts (Q) onto the ends of the pivot
rod using a hammer. See figure 20.
HINT: To ease assembly of the palnuts, place the bag
on its side on a solid surface. With the bottom end of the
pivot rod against the surface, tap a palnut onto the top
end of the rod. Repeat for other end of rod.
