7-851 JOHN DEERE PRO GATOR HOSE KIT
1. Remove caps from hose ends on tongue. Install hoses from kit. (See picture)
2. Connect P48 Sweeper to tow vehicle with drawbar pin and hitch pin.
3. Install male coupler ends to all 4 hoses. (Coupler ends are not supplied in the kit). Connect top hose on
tongue (A) to top right hand coupler. The second hose from the top (B) to the left hand top coupler.
Connect the third hose from the top (C) to the bottom left hand coupler and the bottom hose on the tongue
(D) to the bottom right hand coupler.
4. The control lever for the dumpbox is used for the two functions on the P48. It controls the lift and lower of
the sweeper head and the lift and lower of the hopper. By pulling the lever back, it lifts the sweeper head
and when you push the lever forward it lowers the sweeper head until the hydraulic cylinder is fully ex-
tended, then the hopper will lift and dump.
5. The PTO lever is used to turn the brush on and off. Brush must turn counterclockwise looking at it
from the hydraulic drive motor side. Never operator sweeper brush at full engine RPM or brush
failure may result. It will sweep the best at 1500-2500 RPM.
6. After test running the sweeper check and refill hydraulic tank in tow vehicle.
7. Make sure roller height adjustment is set so that the brush is 1/4" off the ground. This works the best for
most applications. The adjustment marks on the decal are for reference only. So both sides can be set to
the same height.
