ATTACHING

SWEEPER HITCH TO TRACTOR

•

Place the tractor and sweeper on a flat level surface.

•

Set the sweeper height adjustment handle to about the
middle of its adjustment range.

•

Attach the sweeper hitch to the tractor hitch, arranging
the 3/4" spacers in one of six possible combinations as
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 22.

HOW TO USE YOUR SWEEPER
BRUSH HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

DUMPING

•

To adjust your sweeper brushes to the best operating
height, loosen the adjustment knob and push down on
the height adjustment lever to raise the brush, or push
up on the lever to lower the brush. See figure 22. Best
adjustment is when the brush setting is 1/2" down into
the grass. Always mow the grass to an even height
before sweeping.

Your sweeper can be dumped easily without getting
off of the rider or tractor. Simply pull the rope forward
to dump the hopper. Always empty hopper after each
use.
CAUTION: 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 wheels and rotating parts.

SWEEPING SPEED
•

OF SWEEPER

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.

Excessive heat can damage the brushes and

CLEANING

Every two years, remove the wheels and clean the
gears found inside the wheel housing. After cleaning,
lubricate with an even coat of light grease. To remove
the wheel, pop off the hub cap using a screwdriver
and remove the lock nut and flat washer. See figure
24.

CAUTION:
Before storing the sweeper,
always empty the hopper bag to avoid
spontaneous combustion.

•
•
•

Clean sweeper housing with a soft brush or cloth.
Clean debris from hopper bag with a brush or broom.
Remove any material which has wrapped around
brushes or ends of brush shaft.

•

Clean the sweeper and hopper bag thoroughly to help
prevent rust and mildew.
To collapse the hopper bag for storage, remove the two
hopper support rods from the rear of the hopper.
Store in a dry area.

REPLACEMENT

WHEEL

IMPORTANT:

Brush replacement should be done one brush at a
time.

SERVICE

Do not remove both wheels at the same

time to avoid mixing of parts. (The R.H. and L.H. ratchet
gears are not interchangeable.) Make notes on the
position of washers and snap rings during disassembly.

Remove the hopper bag from the sweeper.
Loosen the hex bolts and lock nuts on two single
brush retainers which clamp one brush to the double
brush retainers. Do Not loosen or remove the bolts
which fasten the double brush retainers to the brush
shaft. See figure 25.
Slide the brush out of the retainers, noting on which
side of the brush the bristles overlap. See figure 25.
Install new brush, making sure the bristles overlap on
the same side of the brush as before. See figure 25.

•

Remove one wheel from the sweeper.
Remove the retaining rings and washers which hold
the ratchet gear onto the brush shaft.
Remove the gear by sliding it off the brush shaft.
(Look for the drive pin, which may fall out of the
brush shaft when the ratchet gear is removed.) See
figure 26.
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
grease. Assemble the ratchet gear back onto the
shaft.
Lightly grease the axle and the wheel's gear teeth
and 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 rotation of the wheel, the drive pin is jamming in the ratchet gear. Disassemble to clean and
lubricate the drive pin and the ratchet gear.
