INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Rooster Thunder Sweeper®! This unit was
carefully designed and manufactured to give you many years of dependable service. Be sure to
read and understand the operator’s manual and observe all safety precautions before operating
unit.
This manual contains instructions for the safe operation and maintenance of the Rooster
Thunder Sweeper®. The reliable operation, safety, and long service life of this machine depend
on two important factors:
1. The quality and frequency of periodic inspection and maintenance.
2. A common sense approach to its operation.
This Rooster Thunder Sweeper®has been designed specifically for the poultry industry to blow
accumulated dust and debris off the ceilings, walls, and related equipment of broiler barns after
the barn has been emptied of birds. The machine will also effectively perform a final cleaning of
the floor after the bulk of the litter has been removed.
The Rooster Thunder Sweeper®may also be used for other uses as well, such as general
grounds maintenance. You, however, as the Owner, are responsible to make certain this
machine is used only in a manner consistent with its original design intent and that its use does
not place people, livestock, or other property at risk of harm or injury.
OPERATOR ORIENTATION –The directions left, right, front, and rear as mentioned in this
manual are as seen from the skid-steer loader operator’s seat, facing forward.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove the lags that hold the blower discharge pipe and supporting pipes to the skid.
2. Assemble blower discharge pipe onto blower discharge cone 1.5” (Fig. 1). Be sure band
clamp tab bracket (Fig 2) is pointing straight down as shown. Be sure blower discharge
pipe is aligned as squarely to the blower discharge cone as possible.

3. Install only one of the ¼ x 1” lags at position shown in Figure 3.
4. Install the blower discharge pipe support pipes as shown in Fig. 4-7. Install the bolts
loosely until both support pipes are mounted, then tighten the bolts securely.

5. Inspect blower discharge cone at Fig. 8 & 9. Blower discharge cone must be aligned
squarely with the fan housings before installing the remaining three lags that fasten the
discharge pipe to the discharge cone. If discharge cone is out of square with the fan
housings, it will put extra stress on one of the fan housing ears, and may lead to breakage
of the fan housing. After it is squarely aligned with the fan housings, install the remaining
three lags. Then as a final check, make sure that there is not excessive pressure on the
fan housings. You should be able to move the discharge pipe & cone back and forth
slightly in the fan housing ear.
