Operating Instructions
Before Using Lawn Sweeper:

1.
How to Sweep Lawn:
Remove large debris from lawn.
1.
Do not sweep if conditions are too wet or muddy.
2.
Attach Lawn Sweeper to tractor using supplied hitch pin. The multi-pronged
3. hitch allows the Lawn Sweeper to accomodate varying tractor hitch heights; choose the appropriate setting so that Lawn Sweeper hitch tubes are roughly level with the ground.
Attach dump rope to tractor so that it cannot contact the brushes or wheels.
4.
Start tractor engine and tow Lawn Sweeper to lawn.
5.
Adjust brush height so that brushes extend roughly 1/2" below the tips of the
6. grass. For best performance, always set the brushes as high as possible to minimize resistance on brushes and wheels.
Engage tractor drive at its slowest speed and begin sweeping. Increase
7. tractor speed as required to throw material to the back of the hopper bag.
Sweep in straight lines whenever possible and avoid sharp turns.
8.
Periodically check the sweeper while operating to ensure that wheels and
9. brushes are rotating smoothly and that nothing is wrapped around the brushes or brush shaft.
When filled, the hopper bag can be emptied by pulling the dump rope
10. forward.
How to Adjust Brush Height:
Remove hairpin and detach adjustment lever from handle.
1.
Move handle downwards to raise the brush height or upwards to lower the
2. brush height.
Align the handle pin with the nearest hole in the adjustment lever. Use the
3. top or bottom pin on the handle, whichever provides the best alignment.
Secure adjustment lever to handle with hairpin.
4.

6. hitch tubes from Lawn Sweeper for compact storage.
