Operation

Risk of Injury

Never attach the rope to your body. The rope may wrap around the brush or other rotating parts and injure you. Only attach the rope to the tow vehicle. Don’t touch the rope while the car is in motion.

• Never allow children to handle the sweeper.
• Never allow anyone to ride on the sweeper.
• Always wear footwear when working with the sweeper.
• Never operate the sweeper if foreign matter is stuck in the blades. Turn off the vehicle’s engine, remove the foreign matter, and check for damage. If the sweeper is damaged, repair it before continuing to operate.

Risk of Overturning

Check the loading capacity of the towing vehicle and only sweep appropriate amounts of grass and leaves into the grass bag. On starting, ensure the sweeper retains its balance and does not overturn. Do not work on slopes greater than 10°. Do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h). Drive slowly and carefully, especially when turning and on uneven ground.

Note: The driving and braking characteristics depend on the towed load.

Risk of Fire

Always keep the sweeper away from fire. Excessive heat can damage the brushes and grass bag and could cause the bag to burn. Always empty the grass bag before storing the sweeper; spontaneous combustion may occur.

Attaching the Sweeper to the Tow Vehicle

Park the tow vehicle and sweeper on flat, level ground. Set the sweeper height adjustment handle to the middle of its adjustment range. Attach the sweeper so that the grass bag is parallel to the ground as possible and that the underside clears the ground between 5 in. and 7 in.(12.7 cm and 17.8 cm). Do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h).

Setting the Brush Height

Loosen the adjustment bolt. Push down on the height adjustment lever to raise the brushes. Set the brushes to penetrate the grass to a depth of 1/2 in. (13 mm). Tighten the adjustment bolt.

Emptying the Grass Bag

Stop the towing vehicle and turn off the engine. Pull the rope to tip the grass bag from the towing vehicle.

Maintenance

Lubricate the wheel bearings once during the season. Remove the hubcap and apply a few drops of light oil. Lubricate the brush axle at the beginning and end of the season (See Figure). Clean and grease drive gears every two years (See Figure ). Remove hubcap (1), lock nut (2), flat washer (3), and wheel.

Service

Replace the Brushes (Fig. 22)

Remove the grass bag. Only loosen the bolt and nut on the single brush retainers(1). Do not loosen the double brush retainer(2). Note which side of the brush the bristles overlap (3). Slide the brush out.
Install a new brush with bristles that overlap(3) as before.

Wheel Gear and Pawl (Fig. 23)

Do not remove both wheels at the same time; the parts are not interchangeable. Remove the retaining ring and washer from the ratchet gear (1) shaft. Remove the drive pin (2) and ratchet gear. Clean the shaft and gear.
Install the ratchet gear and drive pin. The pin must move freely in the shaft. Lightly grease the shaft and fill the ratchet gear with grease. Lightly grease the brush axle and gear teeth on the wheel. Install the wheel.

Note: Brushes should only move during forward rotation. If brushes rotate in both directions, the drive pin is jamming the ratchet gear. Disassemble and make sure the drive pin moves freely.
