Safety Guidelines for Using SCH HSTS98

• Elevate the brush adjuster to its highest position during transport.
• Keep the sweeper away from play areas when not in use.

• Ensure a secure connection to the towing vehicle.
• The sweeper should not bounce, and no person should ride atop it.
• It's not designed for collecting hay-type grass.

Operating the SCH HSTS98 Sweeper

• Adjustment for Surface: Set the catcher floor parallel to the ground using the adjuster on the tow bar. For lifting and cleaning fill, remove the cover plate at the base of the collection box. To collect all debris, ensure the bottom plate covering the mesh at the collection box's base is secured.
• Brush Leveling: Adjust the brush height correctly. The brushes should lightly touch the surface, employing a flicking action for debris collection. Avoid setting the brush too low to prevent damage.
• Fit and Tow: Ensure the tow bar and catcher are properly affixed with provided bolts and nuts.

Emptying the Catcher of SCH HSTS98

A metal hand grip is located on the catcher for easy emptying. Lift the box to pivot and release the collected debris. If necessary, reverse into a compost heap to empty, moving extremely slowly to avoid jackknifing.

Maintenance Tips for SCH HSTS98

• Post-Use Cleaning: Wash down the unit to remove mud and debris from the brushes.
• Brush Differential Greasing: After every 10 hours of use or annually, grease the brush differential. Remove, clean, and regrease the drive wheels and cogs yearly for optimal performance.

Conclusion

By adhering to these guidelines and maintaining proper care, your SCH HSTS98 towed sweeper will remain a valuable asset in maintaining the cleanliness and usability of your artificial surface for years to come.
