Place the tractor and sweeper on a flat level surface. 2. Set the sweeper height adjustment handle to about the middle of its adjustment range. 3. Attach the sweeper hitch brackets to the tractor hitch, arranging the 3/4" spacers so that the bottom of the sweeper bag is approximately level and 5" to 7" above the ground. See figure 22 for tractor hitches that are 10" to 13" above the ground. See figure 23 for tractor hitches that are 8" to 10" above the ground. IMPORTANT: For best performance, the bottom of the sweeper bag should be approximately level and 5" to 7" off the ground as shown in figure 21. 21 5" - 7" Aerosmith Rocks 23 22 TRACTOR HITCH10"-13" TRACTOR HITCH8"-10" Tractor hitches with 10" to 13" ground clearance. Tractor hitches with 8" to 10" ground clearance. ENGLISH OPERATION 4. (Figure 24) Lubricate the brush shaft bearing twice a year with a few drops of light weight oil. HOW TO USE YOUR SWEEPER BRUSH HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT 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. 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 forward to dump the hopper. Always empty hopper after each use. HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT SLOTHEX BOLTOIL BEARINGS HEREFLAT WASHER 24 5. Lubricate the wheel bearings each season. Remove the hub cap and apply a few drops of light weight oil. 6. (Figure 25) Every two years, remove the wheels and clean the gears found inside the wheel housing. After cleaning, lubricate the gears with an even coat of light grease. To remove the wheel, pop off the hub cap and remove the lock nut and flat washer. 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.

MAINTENANCE CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES 1. Check for loose fasteners before each use. 2. Clean the sweeper after each use. a. Clean sweeper housing with a soft brush or cloth. b. Clean debris from hopper bag with a brush or broom. c. Remove any material which has wrapped around brushes or ends of brush shaft. 3. Inspect for worn or damaged parts, such as brushes and wheels before each use. Replace as necessary. STORAGE CAUTION: Before storing the sweeper, always empty the hopper bag to avoid spontaneous combustion. 1. Clean the sweeper and hopper bag thoroughly to help prevent rust and mildew. 2. To collapse the hopper bag for storage, remove the two hopper support rods from the rear of the hopper. 3. Store in a dry area. ENGLISH SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS WHEEL GEAR AND PAWL SERVICE IMPORTANT: 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. 1. Remove only one wheel from the sweeper. 2. Remove the retaining rings and washers which hold the ratchet gear onto the brush shaft. 3. (Figure 27) 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.) 4. 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. 5. Lightly grease the shaft and fill the ratchet gear with grease. Assemble the ratchet gear back onto the shaft. 6. Lightly grease the axle and the gear teeth on the wheel, 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. 7. Remove the second wheel and repeat the procedure. BRUSH REPLACEMENT NOTE: Brush replacement should be done one brush at a time. 1. Remove the hopper bag from the sweeper. 2. (Figure 26) 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. 3. (Figure 26) Slide the brush out of the retainers, noting on which side of the brush the bristles overlap. 4. (Figure 26) Install new brush, making sure the bristles overlap on the same side of the brush as before. ...
