Pro Sweep® Turf Sweeper

• The machine can be towed by most utility tractors equipped with hydraulics producing 26.5 to 30 L/min (7 to 8 gpm) at 13,790 kPa (2,000 psi) and flotation tires for operation over golf greens. Ensure that the tractor has adequate brakes and a drawbar hitch capacity to handle a 1587 kg (3,500 lb) trailer. Refer to the towing vehicle Operator's Manual for towing instructions and precautions.

• The Workman vehicle requires the High-Flow Hydraulics Kit. Workman vehicles with serial numbers prior to 900000001 require the Heavy Duty Drawbar (Model 44212 or 44213) installed.

  Note: The 4WD Workman model is the best for hilly or bermed approaches to greens.

  Important: For older model Workman vehicles, do not attempt to pull the machine when loaded with material, with the standard Workman hitch. It is only rated to 680 kg (1,500 lb) and may bend or damage the cross tube axle support or rear spring shackles. Always use the Drawbar Kit for Heavy-Duty Workman Vehicles (Model 44212) or Hitch Frame and Draw Bar Kit for Heavy-Duty Workman Vehicles (Model 44213).

  Important: Do not attempt towing a loaded machine with a light utility vehicle or run-about. These machines do not have adequate brakes, suspension, or frame strength to handle the weight of the machine.

• Trailer brakes are recommended when using the machine in hilly terrain. When fully loaded, the machine may weigh as much as 1,588 kg (3,500 lb) (GVW). This weight is higher than the recommended towing and braking limit of most utility vehicles. A trailer brake kit is available for direct installation with the Workman vehicle.

  Note: The trailer brake kit can be adapted to other vehicles with a 12 V brake light source.

Note: Have 2 people remove the hitch assembly.

1. Remove the pin assembly, bolt and nut securing the hydraulic cylinder and hoses to the hitch tongue for shipping. Also, cut the cable tie. Carefully lower the cylinder and hoses from the tongue. Retain the pin assembly and fasteners for re-use.

2. Remove the hair pin cotter and hitch pin securing the hitch tongue to the upper shipping bracket. The hitch tongue is very heavy, use caution when removing the tongue from the shipping brackets.

5. Always install or remove the safety support from behind the hopper.

Important: Do not try to lower the hopper with the safety support on the cylinder.

The safety interlock system has the following functions:

• It prevents the brush from rotating when the hopper is in the raised position.

• It prevents the hopper from being dumped when the machine is in the offset position.

• An audible alarm sounds when dumping the hopper. Do not move the towing vehicle when dumping the hopper.

• Before starting to sweep, survey the area to determine the best direction to sweep.

  Note: To maintain a straight line when sweeping, sight an object in front of you in the distance.

• Always try to make a long, continuous run with a slight overlap on the return run.

• On turf areas, the brush picks up turf cores, twigs, clippings, leaves, pine needles and cones, and small debris.

• The machine also grooms the turf. The brush combs through and lifts the grass for a uniform cut when mowed. As it cleans, the light scarifying action increases water and pesticide penetration, thus reducing the need for renovation.

  Important: Do not make sharp turns when using the machine as damage to the turf may occur.

• When the hopper is full, the machine no longer picks up debris as efficiently, leaving or throwing material back onto the ground.

Important: Make sure that the machine is secured to the towing vehicle hitch with the hitch pin and the clevis pin during the dumping operation.

Important: Ensure that the machine is directly behind the towing vehicle and in transport height before the dump sequence can be activated.

1. Place the machine on a level surface and make sure that it is in the transport position before dumping.

2. Press the hopper-dump button for 1 second, release the button for 1 second, and press the hopper dump button again (Figure 28).

   Note: The machine does not respond if you press the hopper dump button too quickly.
