Safety Information
SAFETYSECTION
GENERAL INFORMATION
• Check prime mover tire pressure before
sweeping.
Read this Manual
Read all safety information in this manual. All operators
must read and understand the entire contents of this
manual before sweeping. General safety practices are
listed on Safety Information pages and specific safety
information is located throughout this manual.
• Check tire ratings to be sure they match the
prime mover load. Weigh the sweeper end of the
prime mover, if necessary, to insure proper tire
rating.
__________________________________________
• Remove from the sweeping area all property that
could be damaged by debris flying from the
sweeper.
Hazard Definitions
Four hazard classifications are used in this manual.
They are
• Be sure all persons not operating the sweeper
are clear of the sweeper discharge area.
CAUTION – Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury.
• Always wear proper apparel such as a long-
sleeve shirt buttoned at the cuffs; safety glasses,
goggles or a face shield; ear protection; and a
dust mask.
WARNING – Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious
injury.
When sweeping, adhere to all government rules, local
laws and other professional guidelines for your
sweeping application.
DANGER – Indicates an imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury.
WARNING – Never raise the sweeper more than a
few feet off the ground. The sweeper
can tip back or the prime mover can
tip over causing death or serious
injury.
IMPORTANT – Used for instructions when machine
damage may be involved.
__________________________________________
Before leaving the operator’s area for any reason –
lower the sweeper to the ground, stop the prime
mover engine, set the brakes and remove the key from
the ignition.
Operation
CAUTION – A sweeper is a demanding machine.
Only fully trained operators or trainee
operators under the close supervision
of a fully trained person should use
this machine.
Minimize flying debris – use the slowest brush speed
that will do the job.
Keep hands, feet, hair and loose clothing away from
all moving parts.
Before sweeping:
• Learn sweeper and prime mover controls in an
off-road location.
Leave the brush hood (shield) and all other shields and
safety equipment in place when operating the sweeper
and prime mover.
• Be sure that you are in a safe area, away from
traffic or other hazards.
Be aware of the extra weight and width a sweeper
adds. Reduce travel speed accordingly.
• Check all hardware holding the sweeper to the
prime mover, making sure it is tight.
When sweeping on rough terrain, reduce speed to
avoid “bouncing” the sweeper. Loss of steering can
result.
• Make sure all hydraulic fittings and hardware are
tight.
• Replace any damaged or fatigued hardware with
properly rated fasteners.
Never sweep toward people, buildings, vehicles or
other objects that can be damaged by flying debris.

OPERATION SECTION
OPERATING TIPS
Operating Sweeper
Use the tractor lift lever to raise and lower the sweeper.
CAUTION – Operate this implement from the
operator’s seat only. Do not allow
other riders on the machine at any
time.
CAUTION – Operate this implement at a speed
that matches working conditions.
Be extremely careful when working
on banks or uneven terrain.
4 WD hydraulic right
4 WD hydraulic lower
4 WD hydraulic left
4 WD hydraulic lift
CAUTION – Operators must wear eye protection
(goggles, etc.) during operation.
For the most efficient operation, sweep with the tips of
the bristles like a broom – not with the sides of the
bristles like a mop. Adjust the brush contact accord-
ing to instructions in Adjust Brush Contact Area (page
25).
Control brush speed with the throttle. If the brush stalls
frequently, increase the engine speed slightly. Find the
right brush and travel speeds so you don’t have to
increase the brush speed suddenly to overcome a
stall. Under most conditions, too fast of brush speeds
result in debris coming over the hood onto the
operator.
For heavy material, reducing ground speed and
angling the brush fully right or left to gives the best
sweeping results. This allows the sweeper to discharge
material out of brush path area and prevents the “re-
sweeping” of material.
__________________________________________
Snow Removal
CAUTION – Foreign objects in snow may be
thrown farther than the snow itself.
Use the slowest brush speed that
will perform the job and always
remain aware of the sweeper
For specific tips, see Snow Removal, Lawn Thatching,
Leaf Raking and General Sweeping• in this manual

discharge direction.
__________________________________________
CAUTION – Snow or ice build-up on the sweeper
hood can cause a loss of tractor
steering control. Regularly remove
any snow or ice from the sweeper
hood to prevent the excess weight
from affecting steering.
Sweeper Control
WARNING –Contact with the tractor, sweeper or
debris discharged by sweeper can
cause serious injury. Be sure by-
standers are completely clear of the
tractor, sweeper and sweeper
discharge area before operation.
Vary the brush speed and sweeper angle so the
sweeper throws material out of the sweeper path
whenever possible.
CAUTION – Always wear eye protection when
Faster brush speeds perform better on wet, heavy
snow or slush.
operating any sweeper.
Use the tractor PTO to start and stop the sweeper
brush.
This sweeper works best on snow depths of 6 in. (152
mm) or less, but almost any amount of snow can be
moved if ground speed is reduced. If snow carries over
to the rear of the brush, reduce speed and make a
second pass to produce a clean surface.
1. Start the engine and put the throttle lever at 1/3
speed.

2. Engage the PTO.
3. To stop, disengage the PTO.

Operating Instructions
OPERATION SECTION
OPERATING TIPS
Leaf Raking
Lawn Thatching
Carry the sweeper with implement lift slightly raised to
limit contact with the grass.
NOTE – Your sweeper is provided with a
polypropylene brush. Brushes with 1/2 poly–
1/2 wire or full wire sections may damage
lawns by pulling out the live grass. Brushes
made with wire are not recommended for lawn
thatching.
Use slower brush speeds and slow-to-medium travel
speeds when raking leaves.
For best results, rake leaves on days when leaf mois-
ture is high.
__________________________________________
Carry the sweeper with the implement lift slightly raised
to limit ground contact. Brush bristles should barely
touch the ground while sweeping under load.
General Sweeping
Slower brush speeds and slower ground speeds are
more suitable for lawn thatching. This gives the brush
time to pull out the dead grass and minimizes the
bouncing of the brush head, which can cause lawn
damage due to excessive ground contact.
Minimize dust by reducing brush speeds and by
sweeping on days with high moisture. Try to keep wind
at your side or back. (Refer to figure 1.)
For light material, angle the sweeper 30° left or right.
Minimize dust by sweeping when moisture is high (but
not wet).
__________________________________________
Prevent damage to the sweeper by removing large
foreign objects.

Replacing Shear Bolt
NOTE – Keep tires at the correct pressure.
1. Drive to a dirty section on a hard surface.
Replace the shear bolt in the end of the drive shaft if it
breaks.
1. Remove any remaining parts of the broken shear
bolt.
2. Set the brush on the ground and run it 30 seconds
without moving the tractor.
2. Install a new shear bolt.
3. Stop, raise the brush head assembly, back away
and park the tractor.
3. Check the condition of the snap ring retaining the
drive shaft. Replace if it is broken or damaged.
__________________________________________
4. Measure the path cleared. If the sweeper is ad-
justed correctly, the path will be 2-3 in. (51-76 mm)
wide.
Safety Labels
5. Adjust brush contact area with the brush adjust-
ment knob (figure 2). To make the path wider, lower
the brush head assembly by turning the knob to
the left (counterclockwise).To create a narrower
path, raise the brush head assembly by turning the
knob to the right (clockwise).
Replace worn or damaged safety labels before the
sweeper is operated. If any safety labels become
damaged when parts are repaired, replace those
labels before operating the sweeper.
Keep all safety labels clean so they are easy to read.
__________________________________________
Order replacement safety labels (shown on pages 11-
12 of this manual). Replacement safety labels are
supplied at no charge.
See page 10 for the location of safety labels on the
sweeper.
