KNOW YOUR SWEEPER
CAUTION: Keep sweeper away from fire.
Excessive heat can damage the brushes and
hopper bag and could cause the bag and its
contents to burn.
CAUTION: Never attach the hopper rope to any
part of your body or clothing! Never hold onto the
rope while towing the sweeper! Attach the rope
to the towing vehicle to keep it away from wheels
and rotating parts.
DUMPING OF SWEEPER
3. Your sweeper can be dumped easily without getting off
of the tractor. Pull the rope forward to dump the hopper.
Always empty hopper after each use.
BRUSH HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
1. To adjust your sweeper brushes to the best operating
height, lift up on the height adjustment handle to
disengage it from the height adjustment strap. Move the
handle forward or backward to raise or lower the brush.

is 1/2" down into the grass. Always mow the grass to an
even height before sweeping.

on most tractors). Depending on the conditions, it may
be necessary to adjust the sweeping speed in order to
