Slide the rod through the other upper hopper tube and hopper mount clamps. See figure 18. BAG ARM TUBE FIGURE 18 • Assemble a vinyl cap (U) onto each bag arm tube as shown in figure 20. • Assemble two palnuts (Q) onto the ends of the pivot rod using a hammer. See figure 20. HINT: To ease assembly of the palnuts, place the bag on its side on a solid surface. With the bottom end of the pivot rod against the surface, tap a palnut onto the top end of the rod. Repeat for other end of rod. FIGURE 20 STEP 19 - ATTACH ROPE • Secure the rope to the center of the upper rear hopper tube as shown in figure 21. • Attach the bottoms of the hopper support straps to the clevis pins (O) in the lower hopper tubes, securing the straps with the previously assembled hair cotter pins (S).

BAG ARM TUBE CLEVIS PIN (P) FIGURE 22 10 ATTACHING SWEEPER HITCH TO TRACTOR • Place the tractor and sweeper on a flat level surface. • Set the sweeper height adjustment handle to about the middle of its adjustment range. • Attach the sweeper hitch to the tractor hitch, arranging the 3/4" spacers in one of six possible combinations as shown in GROUP A and GROUP B diagrams below. IMPORTANT: To obtain the best performance from your sweeper, arrange the spacers so that the sweeper bag is approximately level with the ground and approximately 5" to 7" off the ground as shown in figure 23. BRUSH HEIGHT ADJUSTED APPROXIMATELY MID-WAY APPROXIMATELY LEVEL (5" to 7" FROM SURFACE) GROUP "A" - For vehicles with hitches having 8" to 10" ground clearance. FIGURE 23 GROUP "B" - For vehicles with hitches having 10" to 13" ground clearance. ii OPERATION KNOW YOUR SWEEPER HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT HE|GHT STRAP ADJUSTMENT PIVOT ROD Hopper Bag Hopper Rope Windscreen Bag Arm Tubes Pivot Rod Height Adjustment Handle Height Adjustment Strap Hitch Bracket Collects grass clippings, leaves and debris. Permits dumping of hopper bag from driver's seat. Helps prevent collected material from being blown out of hopper bag. Connects the hopper bag to the sweeper housing. Allows hopper bag to tilt forward to dump material. Adjusts the operating height of the sweeper. Holds the height adjustment handle in position when locked. Connects the sweeper to the towing vehicle. Adjusts for various height tractor hitches. HOW TO USE YOUR SWEEPER BRUSH HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT • To adjust your sweeper brushes to the best operating height, loosen the adjustment knob and push down on the height adjustment handle to raise the brush, or push up on the handle to lower the brush. See figure 19. Best adjustment is when the brush setting is 1/2" down into the grass. Always mow the grass to an even height before sweeping. 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. CAUTION: Never attach the hopper rope A 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. 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. A 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. 12 MAINTENANCE CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES • Read and follow the maintenance schedule and the procedures listed in the maintenance section.
