STEP 2 - ASSEMBLE HITCH TUBES
STEP 5 - MEASURE TRACTOR HITCH
The hitch tubes are stamped with a "77L" for the
left tube and a "76R" for the right tube. The sweeper
housing is marked with and "L" on the left with side
and an "R" on the right side. See figure 1.
Use the mark beside this paragraph to measure the
height of the tractor hitch. The mark is 10" from the
bottom of the page. If the tractor hitch is less than 10"
above the ground, go to STEP 6a. If the tractor hitch
is 10" or more above the ground, go to STEP 6b
10"
Hold the left hitch tube against the left side of the
sweeper so that the "77L" on the tube faces away from
the sweeper. Attach the hitch tube using two hex bolts
(C) and nylock nuts (E). Repeat for the right hitch tube,
but with the "76R" facing in toward the right side of the
sweeper. Do not tighten yet. See figure 1.
STEP 6a - ASSEMBLE HITCH BRACKETS
If the tractor hitch is less than 10" above the ground,
place the bent hitch bracket underneath the hitch
tubes and place the hitch bracket assembly on top of
the hitch tubes. Insert two hex bolts (B) through the
brackets, with the rear hex bolt between the cross
bolts in the hitch tubes. Secure the hex bolts (B) with
two nylock nuts (E). See figure 3. Do not tighten yet.
Assemble the two spacers (J) onto the hitch pin and
secure the pin with the hairpin cotter (K). See figure 3.
STEP 3 - REMOVE PLASTIC TIE
Remove the plastic tie that fastens the height
adjustment tube to the front of the sweeper housing.
See figure 1.

STEP 4 - ASSEMBLE HEIGHT ADJ. STRAP
If the tractor hitch is 10" or more above the ground,
place the bent hitch bracket on top of the hitch tubes
and place the hitch bracket assembly underneath
the hitch tubes. Insert two hex bolts (B) through the
brackets, with the rear hex bolt between the cross
bolts in the hitch tubes. Secure the hex bolts (B) with
two nylock nuts (E). See figure 4. Do not tighten yet.
Assemble the two spacers (J) onto the hitch pin and
secure the pin with the hairpin cotter (K). See figure 4.
Place the spacer bushing (I) into the hole in the
height adjustment strap. Place the strap and bushing
between the hitch tubes, aligning them with the rear
hole. Fasten the hitch tubes together, with the strap
and bushing between them, using two hex bolts (A)
and nylock nuts (E). Do not tighten yet. See figure 2.

tighten the two bolts in figure 2 that fasten the ends
of the hitch tubes together. Finally, tighten the two
bolts in figure 3 or 4 that fasten the hitch brackets to
the hitch tubes.
Place the tooth-lock washer (H) between the height
adjustment handle and the height adjustment strap.
Insert the carriage bolt (D) through the handle, the
tooth-lock washer and the strap. Assemble the flat
washer (G) and the plastic knob (S) onto the end of
the bolt and tighten. See figure 6.

adjustment tube on the front of the sweeper housing.
Use the curved head bolts, bowed washers, lock
washers and hex nuts which come pre-assembled to
the tube. Position the height adjustment handle side to
side so that the height adjustment strap will align up
against the outside of the handle and then tighten the
nuts. See figure 5.

down through the stitched sleeves in the sides of the
hopper bag and then slide the tubes back underneath
the wind screen. See figure 9.
Fit the ends of the two upper hopper tubes into the
ends of a rear hopper tube. Align the holes in the ends
of the tubes and insert plastic plugs (Q). See figure 7.
NOTE: Either side of the tubes can face up.

IMPORTANT: Do not over bend the support rods
during the following step. Over bending will decrease the
supporting tension of the rods.
Assemble the two hopper support rods as shown in
figure 14. Place the ends of the rods into the holes in
the upper and lower hopper tubes, flexing the rod just
enough to fit into the holes in the tubes.
Assemble the bag frame strap to the holes in the
lower hopper tubes using two clevis pins (N) and hair
cotter pins (L). See figure 12.
