-3- T10042 26" Lawn Sweeper
Operations
The Model T10042 can be raised or lowered to
achieve the optimal sweeping height for different
surfaces and for different operators.
The optimal height adjustment allows the operator
to handle the sweeper comfortably and positions
the brushes so that they extend approximately ½"
into the grass.
To adjust the brush height:
1. Loosen the height adjustment knob, then
slide the adjustment bar downward to raise
the brushes or upward to lower the brushes.
When the desired height is reached, tighten
the height adjustment knob (Figure 8).

Tips for using the Model T10042 Lawn
Sweeper:
• Empty the leaf bag after every use.
• To dump the leaf bag, tilt the sweeper all the
way forward.
• For best results and ease of use, be sure the
height is properly adjusted for both the sur-
face being swept and the user's height.
• Follow the maintenance schedule outlined
in these instructions to prevent unnecessary
wear on your sweeper.
Maintenance
To prevent unnecessary wear, periodically lubri-
cate the brush shaft bushings, the wheel bush-
ings, and grease the ratchet gears in each wheel
assembly.
To lubricate the bushings (twice annually):
1. Tilt the sweeper onto its side and apply a few
drops of light oil to the brush shaft, as shown
in Figure 9.

dust cap on the exposed wheel, then apply
a few drops of light oil to the wheel axle, as
shown in Figure 10, and spin the wheel to
distribute the oil.
