__________________________________________

Operation

CAUTION – A sweeper is a demanding machine.

Only fully trained operators or trainee operators under the close supervision of a fully trained person should use this machine.

Before sweeping:

• Learn sweeper and prime mover controls in an off-road location.

• Be sure that you are in a safe area, away from traffic or other hazards.

• Check prime mover tire pressure before sweeping.

• Check tire ratings to be sure they match the prime mover load. Weigh the sweeper end of the prime mover , if necessary, to insure proper tire rating.

• Remove from the sweeping area all property that could be damaged by debris flying from the sweeper .

• Be sure all persons not operating the sweeper are clear of the sweeper discharge area.

• Always wear proper apparel such as a longsleeve shirt buttoned at the cuffs; safety glasses, goggles or a face shield; ear protection; and a dust mask.

When sweeping, adhere to all government rules, local laws and other professional guidelines for your sweeping application.

WARNING – Never raise the sweeper more than a

few feet off the ground. The sweeper can tip back or the prime mover can tip over causing death or serious injury.

Before leaving the operator’s area for any reason – lower the sweeper to the ground, stop the prime mover engine, set the brakes and remove the key from the ignition.

Minimize flying debris – use the slowest brush speed that will do the job.

Keep hands, feet, hair and loose clothing away from all moving parts.

Leave the brush hood (shield) and all other shields and safety equipment in place when operating the sweeper and prime mover.

• Check all hardware holding the sweeper to the prime mover , making sure it is tight.

• Make sure all hydraulic fittings and hardware are tight.

• Replace any damaged or fatigued hardware with properly rated fasteners.

Be aware of the extra weight and width a sweeper adds. Reduce travel speed accordingly.

When sweeping on rough terrain, reduce speed to avoid “bouncing” the sweeper. Loss of steer ing can result.

Never sweep toward people, buildings, vehicles or other objects that can be damaged by flying debris.

Operating Instructions 4 WD hydraulic right

Operating Sweeper

CAUTION – Operate this implement from the

operator’s seat only. Do not allow other riders on the machine at any time.

OPERATION SECTION

OPERATING TIPS

Use the tractor lift lever to r aise and lower the s w eeper.

CAUTION – Operate this implement at a speed

that matches working conditions. Be extremely careful when working on banks or uneven terrain.

CAUTION – Operators must wear eye protection

(goggles, etc.) during operation.

For the most efficient operation, sweep with the tips of the bristles like a broom – not with the sides of the bristles like a mop. Adjust the brush contact according to instructions in Adjust Brush Contact Area (page

25). For heavy material, reducing ground speed and

angling the brush fully right or left to gives the best sweeping results. This allows the sweeper to discharge material out of brush path area and prevents the “resweeping” of material.

For specific tips, see Snow Removal, Lawn Thatching, Leaf Raking and General Sweeping• in this manual section.

Brush stands must be placed in the raised position before sweeping.

__________________________________________

Sweeper Control

WARNING –Contact with the tractor, sweeper or

debris discharged by sweeper can cause serious injury. Be sure b ystanders are completely clear of the tractor, s weeper and s weeper discharge area before operation.

CAUTION – Always wear eye protection when

operating any sweeper.

Use the tractor PTO to start and stop the sweeper brush.

1. Start the engine and put the throttle lever at 1/3 speed.

2. Engage the PTO.

4 WD hydraulic left

4 WD hydraulic lift 4 WD hydraulic lower

Control brush speed with the throttle. If the brush stalls frequently, increase the engine speed slightly. Find the right brush and travel speeds so you don’t have to increase the brush speed suddenly to overcome a stall. Under most conditions, too fast of brush speeds result in debris coming over the hood onto the operator.

__________________________________________

4 WD hydraulic right

Snow Removal

CAUTION – Foreign objects in snow may be

thrown farther than the snow itself. Use the slowest brush speed that will perform the job and always remain aware of the sweeper discharge direction.

CAUTION – Snow or ice build-up on the sweeper

hood can cause a loss of tractor steering control. Regularly remove any snow or ice from the sweeper hood to prevent the excess weight from affecting steering.

V ary the brush speed and sweeper angle so the sweeper throws material out of the sweeper path whenever possible.

Faster brush speeds perform better on wet, heavy snow or slush.

This sweeper works best on snow depths of 6 in. (152 mm) or less, but almost any amount of snow can be moved if ground speed is reduced. If snow carries over to the rear of the brush, reduce speed and make a second pass to produce a clean surface.

__________________________________________

3. To stop, disengage the PTO.

OPERATION SECTION OPERATING TIPS

Operating Instructions

51-3845, 7/04

Lawn Thatching

NOTE – Your sweeper is provided with a

polypropylene brush. Brushes with 1/2 poly– 1/2 wire or full wire sections may damage lawns by pulling out the live grass. Brushes made with wire are not recommended for lawn thatching.

Carry the sweeper with the implement lift slightly raised to limit ground contact. Brush bristles should barely touch the ground while sweeping under load.

Slower brush speeds and slower ground speeds are more suitable for lawn thatching. This gives the brush time to pull out the dead grass and minimizes the bouncing of the brush head, which can cause lawn damage due to excessive ground contact.

Minimize dust by sweeping when moisture is high (but not wet).

__________________________________________

Leaf Raking

Carry the sweeper with implement lift slightly raised to limit contact with the grass.

Use slower brush speeds and slow-to-medium travel speeds when raking leaves.

For best results, rake leaves on days when leaf moisture is high.

__________________________________________

General Sweeping

Minimize dust by reducing brush speeds and by sweeping on days with high moisture. Try to keep wind at your side or back. (Refer to figure 1.)

For light material, angle the sweeper 30° left or right. Prevent damage to the sweeper by removing large

foreign objects.

__________________________________________

Preferred Wind Directions When Sweeping

51-3845, 7/04

Troubleshooting

If Material Piles in Front of Sweeper

• Decrease travel speed

• Increase the engine rpm

• Make more than 1 pass

• Raise the brush to decease the contact area

• Increase the sweeper angle __________________________________________

If Brush Wears Unevenly

• Check for material wrapped around the brush

• Clean underneath the hood __________________________________________

If Driveline Wears Quickly

• Decrease travel speeds

• Make more than 1 pass, especially in deep, heavy

materials

• Avoid ramming piles

• Lack of lubrication – lubricate more often __________________________________________
