ASSEMBLY
1. Push one of the drum axles onto
either of the two gearcase output
shafts. If necessary, rotate the
drum axle until the clevis pin hole
in the axle aligns with the matching
hole in the gearcase output shaft.
2. Use a clevis pin and hitch pin to
secure the drum axle to the shaft.
3. Slide the recessed end of a sweeper
drum assembly over the assembled
axle, and then push the drum down
the axle until it bottoms at the
clevis pin.
CAUTION!
The two drum assemblies are
identical, but each drum must be
installed with its recessed end
facing toward the gearcase.
4. Use a cotter pin to secure the drum
assembly on the axle (see inset).
The cotter pin is designed to fit
tightly against the outboard end of
the drum, so you may need to
compress the drum face slightly
during installation.
5. Repeat Steps 1-4 to install the
remaining axle and drum assembly.

Break-in and Operation
If the machine is used in dusty conditions, the air filter should be saturated
in air filter oil (see "Oiling the Air Filter" in the operators manual that came
with the powerhead). Please check and clean the air filter often and replace
the filter when necessary to prevent damage.
ALWAYS wear
hearing protective
devices.
ALWAYS wear leather or
heavy-rubber shoes.
NEVER work barefoooted!
The Properly Dressed Operator
ALWAYS wear eye
protection such as
goggles or safety glasses.
ALWAYS wear a mask to
protect against dust or
other airborne particles.
ALWAYS wear close fitting
clothes. Gloves offer added
protection and are strongly
recommended. Do not wear
clothing or jewelry that could get
caught in machinery.
BEWARE of
thrown debris!
DIRECTION OF
ROTATION
The Clean Sweep works best when its
rubber fins can quickly slide or “skim”
over the surface being swept.
New or replacement sweeper belts
tend to grip or drag on hard surfaces,
and should be thoroughly broken in or
“scuffed” before the broom is actually
put to work.
Break-in is easily accomplished by
operating the Clean Sweep at full
throttle for 3 to 5 minutes in loose
gravel or similar abrasive material.
Once broken in, the Clean Sweep will
effortlessly move an amazing variety
of materials, ranging from snow or
standing water to heavier objects such
as gravel or wood chips.
Experience will help you understand the operating principles of the
Clean Sweep, but safe operation must
be practiced from the start.

Operating Techniques
Operate the Clean Sweep at or near
full throttle with its sweeper fins
resting on the work surface.
IMPORTANT!
It is both tiring and unnecessary to lift
or hold the fins from the work surface
during sweeping.
When sweeping narrow areas such
as sidewalks, the Clean Sweep can be
used to throw material directly ahead
of the operator. Clearing wider areas
may require sweeping at an angle to
create windrows to one side of the
path being cleared.
Windrows of lighter materials often
can be combined into one main row or
pile for eventual pickup, while heavy
or bulky material may need to be
collected row-by-row.
OPERATION
To pull debris from corners,
reverse sweeper drum rotation by
turning the powerhead over (throttle
facing “up”).

WARNING!
Reversing the Clean Sweep will
cause debris to be thrown back
toward the operator. When
reversing the Clean Sweep, use
lower throttle settings and
beware that thrown debris may
also affect your footing!

Operating and Safety Tips
Maintain a
shallow
working
angle.
A steep
working
angle
risks loss
of
control!
OPERATION
WARNING!
Maintain a shallow angle to the
work surface!
A high angle of operation
tends to propel the broom
toward you, risking loss of
control of the machine.
The sweeper belts may rotate
when the Clean Sweep is
started!
Always maintain a firm grip
when starting the Clean
Sweep. Beware of objects that
could become entangled in or
be thrown by the rotating
sweeper belts.
YOU MUST ALWAYS GUARD
AGAINST THROWN DEBRIS!
Although the Clean Sweep’s
sweeper belts are less forceful
than a lawnmower blade, you
must avoid any operation
where thrown objects could
pose a threat to persons or
property!
Never operate the Clean
Sweep if any protective
devices (engine covers, stop
switch, etc.) are missing or
damaged!
Never operate the engine at
high rpms without a load!
Doing so could damage the
engine.
Avoid low rpm operation
Continuous low-rpm operation
can lead to premature clutch
failure.
