Note: Do not allow the sweeper to stand still with
the rake engaged as turf damage may occur.
Stopping the Engine

2. Let the engine idle for 60 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition key to the Off position and
remove the key.

2. Support the flex tip reel, broom, or thatching reel
with the transport hooks.
Adjusting the Rake Depth
The flex tip reel should be adjusted to ensure that the
rake tips slightly touch surface but do not penetrate the
turf. If the rake tips penetrate the turf, improper debris
pickup could result.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Loosen the locknut on the depth adjustment bolt so
that it can be turned (Figure 10).

3. Turn the depth adjustment bolt until the rake
slightly contacts the top of the turf grass. If a
broom is installed, slight contact should be made
with the surface. When the broom is operating, the
contact width surface should be about 1 inch (25.4
mm) wide across the entire length of the broom
(Figure 11).

Adjust the Rubber Flap
For the best debris pick up results, the metal portion of
the front flap should be vertical to the ground.
1. Move the flat lever forward to lower the flat
(Figure 12).
