  • Do not permit anyone to ride on the sweeper.
  • Never attach the hopper rope to any part of your body or clothing! Never hold onto the rope while towing the sweeper! Attached the rope to the towing vehicle to keep it away from wheels and rotating parts.
  • Operate the sweeper at reduced speed on rough terrain, near ditches and on hillsides to prevent loss of control.
