Operating Tips
General
• 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.
• To empty hopper, pull tailgate latch rope.
CAUTION
