Resumen del manual
Hitch Bracket Connects the sweeper to the towing vehicle. Adjusts for various height tractor hitches. HOW TO USE YOUR SWEEPER DUMPING OF SWEEPER • Your sweeper can be dumped easily without getting off of the rider or tractor. Simply pull the rope forward to dump the hopper. Always empty hopper after each use. BRUSH HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT • To adjust your sweeper brushes to the best operating height, loosen the adjustment knob and push down on the height adjustment lever to raise the brush, or push up on the lever to lower the brush. See figure 22. Best adjustment is when the brush setting is 1/2" down into the grass. Always mow the grass to an even height before sweeping. SWEEPING SPEED • Try a starting speed of approximately 3 m.p.h. (third gear on most tractors). Depending on the conditions, it may be necessary to adjust the sweeping speed in order to achieve best results. CAUTION: Never attach the hopper rope to any part of your body or clothing! Never hold onto the rope while towing the sweeper! Attach the rope to the towing vehicle to keep it away from wheels and rotating parts. CAUTION: Keep sweeper away from fire. Excessive heat can damage the brushes and hopper bag and could cause the bag and its contents to burn. MAINTENANCE CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES • Read and follow the maintenance schedule and the procedures listed in the maintenance section. Before storage Every two years Every season Twice a year Before each use After each use MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Fill in dates as you complete regular service. Service Dates Check for loose fasteners X Check for worn or damaged parts X X Lubricate brush shaft bearings X Lubricate wheel bearings X Clean Sweeper X X Clean/Lubricate chain and sprockets X SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE • Clean the sweeper after each use. • Inspect for worn or damaged parts, such as brushes and wheels. • Lubricate the brush shaft bearing twice a year with a few drops of light weight oil. See figure 24. • Every two years, remove the wheels and clean the gears found inside the wheel housing. After cleaning, lubricate the gears with an even coat of light grease. To remove the wheel, pop off the hub cap and remove the lock nut and flat washer. See figure 25. CLEANING • Clean sweeper housing with a soft brush or cloth. • Clean debris from hopper bag with a brush or broom. • Remove any material which has wrapped around brushes or ends of brush shaft.

CAUTION: Before storing the sweeper, always empty the hopper bag to avoid spontaneous combustion. SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS WHEEL GEAR AND PAWL SERVICE IMPORTANT: Do not remove both wheels at the same time to avoid mixing of parts. (The R.H. and L.H. ratchet sprockets are not interchangeable.) Make notes on the position of washers and snap rings during disassembly. • Remove only one wheel from the sweeper. • Remove the retaining rings and washers which hold the ratchet gear on the brush shaft. • Slide the gear off of the brush shaft. (Look for the drive pin, which may fall out of the brush shaft when the ratchet gear is removed.) See figure 27. • To reassemble, insert the drive pin through the hole near the end of the brush shaft. Make sure the pin slides back and forth easily in the shaft. • Lightly grease the shaft and fill the ratchet gear with grease. Assemble the ratchet gear back onto the shaft. • Lightly grease the axle and the gear teeth on the wheel, and then reassemble the wheel. The brushes should rotate only during forward rotation of the wheel. If the brushes are driven (rotated) by both forward and reverse rotation of the wheel, the drive pin is jamming in the ratchet gear. Disassemble to clean and lubricate the drive pin and the ratchet gear. • Remove the second wheel and repeat the procedure. BRUSH REPLACEMENT NOTE: Brush replacement should be done one brush at a time. • Remove the hopper bag from the sweeper. • Loosen the hex bolts and lock nuts on two single brush retainers which clamp one brush to the double brush retainers. Do Not loosen or remove the bolts which fasten the double brush retainers to the brush shaft. See figure 26. • Slide the brush out of the retainers, noting on which side of the brush the bristles overlap. See figure 26. • Install new brush, making sure the bristles overlap on the same side of the brush as before. See figure 26.
