Operating Instructions
Operating your Dapper Supply lawn sweeper is straightforward. Follow these steps for optimal performance:
- Adjust Sweeping Height: The sweeper features an adjustable spinning brush height. Simply turn the hand-operated knob to customize the height. Adjust the brushes to just barely touch the top of the grass or surface you are sweeping. This ensures effective pickup of debris without damaging the lawn.
- Begin Sweeping: Push the sweeper forward at a steady, moderate pace. The dual spinning brushes will rotate and collect debris into the hopper bag.
- Overlap Passes: For best results, overlap each sweeping pass slightly to ensure complete coverage and prevent missed areas.
- Empty Hopper Bag: When the hopper bag is full, or its efficiency decreases, stop sweeping. The high-quality non-woven hopper bag has a spacious 3.5 cubic feet capacity. Easily remove the hopper bag from the frame and empty its contents into a compost pile or waste bin. Reattach the bag securely before continuing.
- Adapt to Terrain: The adjustable height feature accommodates various surfaces, from sidewalks and driveways to yards and gardens, ensuring optimal performance on any terrain.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your Dapper Supply lawn sweeper and ensure continued optimal performance.
- Cleaning: After each use, clear any remaining debris from the brushes, wheels, and hopper bag. A damp cloth can be used to wipe down the exterior.
- Brush Inspection: Periodically inspect the thickened and reinforced brushes for wear or damage. While designed for durability, replacement may be necessary over time.
- Wheel and Axle Check: Ensure the durable rubber wheels spin freely and are not obstructed by debris. Check axles for any signs of wear or bending.
- Storage: Once your yard work is done, the sweeper can be neatly stored in a shed or hung on a garage wall. The bottom support feet provide stability against tipping when stored upright. Quick clips on both sides facilitate easy disassembly for compact storage if needed.
