before using this sweeper attachment. Always in
struct other users before they operate the sweeper.
2. Do not permit children to operate sweeper.
3. Do not permit anyone to ride on sweeper.
4. 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 wheeis and rotating parts.
6.
attachment of this sweeper. Do not fill sweeper to
maximum capacity without checking the capability of
the towing vehicle to safely pull and stop with the
sweeper attached. Stay off of steep slopes.
7.
Stop and inspect vehicle and sweeper for damage
after striking an object. Repair any damage before
continuing operation.
8.
Keep sweeper away from ftre. Excessive heat can
damage the brushes and hopper bag and could
cause the bag and its contents to burn.
5. Operate the sweeper at reduced speed on rough
terrain, near ditches and on hillsides to prevent loss
of control.
Look for this symbol to point out important safety precautions, it means-Attentionl!
Become alert I! Your safety is involved.
Before storing the sweeper, always empty the hopper

ASSEMBLY
HARDWARE FOR ASSEMBLY
Hardware Is preassembled to sweeper and hopper.
1. Remove the nuts, lock washers and bowed washers
from the two curved head bolts, leaving the bolts in
the tube at the front of the sweeper housing. See
figure 1.
2. Loosen the knob fastening the height adjustment
handle to the height adjustment strap. See figure 1.
3. Place the base of the height adjustment handle onto
the two curved head bolts and secure it with the
bowed washers, lock washers and hex nuts that you
removed. See figure 1.
TOOLS REQUIRED
(1) 1/2" Wrench
4. Attach the ends of the lower hopper tubes to the
Inside of the side hopper tubes using the two 3/8" x
1/2" clevis pins and 3/32" hair cotter pins which came
preassembled to the tubes. See figure 2.
IMPORTANT; Do not over bend the support rods
during the fotlowing step. Over bending will cause the
spring steel rods to loose supporting tension.
5. Assemble the two hopper support rods as shown in
figure 3, Place one end of a rod into the hole in an
upper hopper tube and bend the rod just enough to fit
the bottom end of the rod into the hole in a bottom
hopper tube.
HINT: To ease assembly of the rods, tip the hopper bag
back so that the rear of the bag rests on the ground.
7. Assemble the hopper bag to the sweeper by sliding
the ends of the bag arm tubes into the ends of the
hitch tubes. Secure with two 1/4“ x 1-1/2" clevis pins
and 3/32” hairpin cotters that came preassembied to
the hitch tubes. See figure 5.
FIGURES
6. Secure the rope around the middle of the upper
hopper tube as shown in figure 4.
ATTACHING SWEEPER HITCH TO TRACTOR
1. Place the tractor and sweeper on a flat level surface.
2. Measure the height of the tractor hitch. Refer to
GROUP “A" and GROUP "B" drawings below to
determine if the sweeper hitch brackets are mounted
correctly for your tractor or if the top and bottom
brackets need to be switched.
3. Set the sweeper height adjustment handle to about
the middle of its adjustment range.
4. Attach the sweeper hitch to the tractor hitch, arrang
ing the 3/4* spacers into one of the six possible
combinations shown in GROUP A and GROUP B
diagrams below.
BRUSH HEIGHT ADJUSTED
APPROXIMATELY MID-WAY
IMPORTANT: To obtain the best performance from your
sweeper, arrange the spacers so that the sweeper bag is
approximately level with the ground and approximately
5" to 7" off the ground as shown in figure 6.
GROUP “A" - For vehicles with hitches
having 8" to 10” ground clearance.

HOW TO USE YOUR SWEEPER
BRUSH HEIGHT ADdUSTMENT
To adjust your sweeper brushes to the best operat
ing height, loosen the adjustment knob and push
down on the height adjustment lever to raise the
brush. See figure 6. Best adjustment is when the
brush setting is 1/2" down into the grass. Always
mow the grass to an even height before sweeping.
SWEEPING SPEED
Try a starting speed of approximately 3 m.p.h. (third
gear on most tractors). Depending on the conditions,
it may be necessary to adjust the sweeping speed in
order to achieve best results.
DUMPING OF SWEEPER
Your sweeper can be dumped easily without getting
off of the rider or tractor. Simply pull the rope fonvard
to dump the hopper. Always empty hopper after each
use.
CAUTION: Never attach the hopper rope to any
part of your body or dothing! Never hold onto
the rope while towing the sweeper! Attach the
A
A
rope to the towing vehicie to keep it away from
wheels and rotating parts.
CAUTION: Keep sweeper away from fire. Ex
cessive heat can damage the brushes and
hopper bag and could cause the bag and its
contents to burn.

time to avoid mixing of parts. (The R.H. and L.H. ratchet
gears are not interchangeable.) Make notes on the posi
tion of washers and snap rings during disassembly.
1.
Remove one wheel from the sweeper.
2.
Remove the retaining nngs and washers which hold the
ratchet gear onto the brush shaft.
Remove the gear by sliding it off the brush shaft. (Look
3.
for the drive pin, which may fall out of the brush shaft
when the ratchet gear Is removed.) See figure 10.
To reassemble, insert the drive pin through the hole
near the end of the brush shaft. Make sure the pin slides
back and forth easily in the shaft.
Lightly grease the shaft and fill the ratchet gear with
5.
grease. Assemble the ratchet gear back onto the shaft.
Lightly grease the axle and the wheel's gear teeth and
6.
then reassemble the wheel. The brushes should rotate
only during forward rotation of the wheel, if the brushes
are driven (rotated) by both forward and reverse rota
tion of the wheel, the drive pin is jamming in the ratchet
gear. Disassemble to clean and lubricate the drive pin
and the ratchet gear.
