• Before using the push sweeper, make sure the sweeper is correctly assembled and all hardware is fully tightened.

Brush Height Adjustment

1. Unlock the height adjustment lock by turning the locking knob counterclockwise (Fig. 7).
2. Use your hand to hold the handle (see arrow) to adjust the brush height by lifting the handle up and down several times. Tighten the handle knob to the desired height.
   • Note: You may need to use your hands to slide the height adjustment tube for placement.

Basic Sweeping Method

• Push the sweeper forward at normal walking speed; it does not operate when pulled backward.

NOTE

• For best results, mow the grass to an even height before sweeping.

Dumping Hopper Bag

1. To dump the hopper bag, tip the sweeper forward to allow the material to fall out.
2. You can also take the hopper bag off of the sweeper to dump.

WARNING:  Always dump the hopper bag after each use. Damp or wet grass and leaves will cause damage to the hopper if stored for an extended period of time.
WARNING:  DO NOT dump or unload the sweeper too close to the fire, as the brushes and the hopper bag can be destroyed by the overheated flame.

Maintenance

General

• After each use, dump and clean the hopper.
• Rinse/dry inside and outside of the sweeper after each use.
• Periodically check all nuts, bolts, and screws for proper tightness.
• Annually clean out and lightly lubricate parts.
• Use the glossy enamel spray paint to touch up the scratched or worn painted metal surface.
• Never exceed the hopper load capacity rating of 52.3 gal (198 l). It will damage the hopper bag.

Lubrication

The bearings in the sweeper have been pre-lubricated at the factory. However, it’s recommended that a few drops of light oil should be added to the brush shaft bearings twice a year. Also, the gear should be cleaned every two years. After cleaning, apply an even coat of light grease.

1. Use a screw driver to pop off the hub cap (Fig. 9).
2. To remove the wheel, take out the circlip and the flat washer; you will see the gear and the shaft (Fig. 10).
3. Remove the circlip on the gear, and the gear can be taken off easily (Fig. 11).
4. Clean the gear and lubricate the shaft as needed, then reassemble the wheel in a reverse sequence.

Brush Replacement

1. Before replacing the brush, remove the hopper bag from the sweeper, and flip the sweeper over.
2. Remove all the nuts and bolts on the brush retainers used for securing the brushes (Fig. 12).
3. Remove the old brushes, the long brush retainer, and the short brush retainer from the sweeper (Fig. 13).
4. Insert new brushes between the long brush retainer and the short brush retainer; fix with M6 nuts and hex bolts (Fig. 14).
5. Fit the brush assembly onto the brush shaft; fix with a M5 nut and a M5 bolt (Fig. 15).
6. Repeat the steps to install the remaining brush.
   • NOTE: The two sets of brushes should remain vertical to each other after assembly (Fig. 16).

Storage

1. Store indoors or in protected areas during severe weather and winter months.
2. Never allow anything left in the hopper bag to remain for an extended period of time.
