4. Operation

4.1 Adjusting Brush Height

The sweeper features an adjustable brush height to optimize performance on different surfaces and for varying types of debris. Locate the height adjustment knob on the front of the sweeper body. Turn the knob to select between 'LOW' for shorter grass/finer debris or 'HIGH' for longer grass/larger debris. Experiment with settings to find the most effective height for your specific task.

4.2 Sweeping Technique

• Push the sweeper forward at a steady, moderate pace. The wheels drive the brushes, which then lift debris into the collection bag.
• Overlap each pass slightly to ensure complete coverage and avoid missed areas.
• For heavy debris, multiple passes or a slower pace may be required.
• Avoid pushing the sweeper backward, as this can dislodge collected debris.

4.3 Emptying the Collection Bag

When the collection bag is full, detach it from the sweeper body. Carry the bag to your desired disposal area and empty the contents. Reattach the bag securely before continuing operation.
