Operating Tips

Before starting to sweep, survey area to determine the
best direction to sweep.
Note: To maintain a straight line when sweeping, sight of
an object in the foreground.
Always try to make a long, continuous run with a slight
overlap on the return run.
On turf areas, the flex tip reel will pick up twigs,
clippings, leaves, pine needles and cones, small debris
(beverage cans, small bottles, paper plates, etc.).
The rake teeth are made of flexible nylon and easily
changed. To prevent damage, the rake is protected from
solid obstructions by spring action. The nylon teeth will
not mar bronze, stone markers, sidewalks or pavement.
Because of its unique design, the sweeper also grooms
the turf. The flex tip reel combs through and lifts grass
for a uniform cut when mowed. As it cleans, the light
scarifying action increase water and pesticide
penetration, thus reducing the need for renovation.
Important
Do not make sharp turns when using the
thatching reel as damage to turf may occur.
Important
Do not operate sweeper while reel is turning
and in the raised position. Damage to the rake and tires may
result if teeth come in contact with tires.
Caution
This product may exceed noise levels of 85 dB(A)
at the operator position. Ear protectors are
recommended, for prolonged exposure, to reduce
the potential of permanent hearing damage.
To empty hopper, pull tailgate latch rope.
Inspection And Cleanup After
Operation
When sweeping has been completed, thoroughly clean
and wash the machine. Air dry hopper. After cleaning, it
is recommended that the machine be inspected for
possible damage to mechanical components and blower.
These procedures will assure that the machine will
perform satisfactorily during next sweeping operation.
Important
When towing sweeper for long distances,
fasten gauge wheel arm securely to sweeper frame with
transport hooks. Should gauge wheel arm fall to ground,
damage to sweeper may occur.
