OPERATION

================================================================================================

Operating Speed

The operating ground speed of the sweeper has a direct effect on how

material is thrown into the hamper. Material will be thrown farther toward

the back of the hamper as ground speed increases.

Operation speed will depend on the condition of the lawn and material

being swept. Operate the sweeper at a ground speed that will throw

material to the back of the hamper. Under normal conditions 3 mph

(approximately the speed of a brisk walk or 40 feet in 9 seconds) works

best.

Maximum operating speed is 5 mph.

Emptying the Hamper

Caution: Avoid Injury! Make sure area is clear of

bystanders, especially children, before backing up.

Before dumping material from the Hamper: Park towing vehicle and set

parking brake (see owners manual).

Important: Avoid overﬁ lling the Hamper, especially when sweeping

freshly mowed grass or other moist material. Heavy loads will be

more difﬁ cult to dump.

To empty Hamper:

1. Tow the sweeper to a location the material should be dumped.

2. Stop towing vehicle and set parking brake.

3. Pull Handle (35) and Rope (37) to tilt hamper forward/upward,

allowing material to exit the opening at the front of the Hamper.

4. Replace Pull Handle (35) to Hook and Loop (36) ﬁ xed to the

towing vehicle.

Important: After dump operation is complete, conﬁ rm Pull Handle

(35) is fully secured to the back of the towing vehicle. Pull Rope

and Handle can get tangled in the sweeper brushes if they fall on

the ground in front of the sweeper during operation.

Using the Wind Screen

The Hamper Wind Screen can be conﬁ gured in two positions based on

conditions and preference.

Position 1 – Wind Screen Fully Open

Allow the Wind Screen to hang off the back of the Hamper. This condition

Can be used when there is little to no wind; Operating speed should be

slower to ensure material is not thrown over the Hamper.

Position 2 – Wind Screen Half Closed

Attach the Wind Screen to the Hamper Upper Side Tubes using the elastic

straps on the ends of the Wind Screen.

Can be used in a medium wind to prevent material from blowing out of

Hamper; Operating speed should be slower to ensure material is not

thrown over the Hamper or Wind Screen.
