WoRN WHILE oPERATING SWEEPER
IMPoRTANT: Do not remove both wheels at the same
time to avoid mixing parts. (The R.H. and L.H. ratchet
gears are not interchangeable.) Make notes on the position
of washers and snap rings during disassembly.
DuMPING oF SWEEPER
1. Remove only one wheel from the sweeper.
2. Remove the retaining rings and washers which hold
the ratchet gear onto the brush shaft.
Todumpsweeperhopperbag,simplytipthesweeperforward
or lift off the complete hopper bag frame.
3. Remove the gear by sliding it off the brush shaft. (Look
for the drive pin, which may fall out of the brush shaft
when the ratchet gear is removed.
4. 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.
5. Lightly grease the shaft and fill the ratchet gear with
grease. Assemble the ratchet gear back onto the shaft.
6. Lightly grease the axle and the gear teeth on the
wheel and then reassemble the wheel.The brushes
should rotate only during forward movement. If the
brushes rotate by both forward and reverse movement,
the drive pin is jamming in the ratchet gear. Dissamble,
clean and lubricate the drive pin and ratchet gear and
then reassmble wheel.
Always dump hopper after each use. Damp or wet grass
and leaves will cause damage to hopper if stored for long
periods of time.
