The outdoor sweeper is designed for use on hard, flat surfaces. It is not intended to be used for wet pick up or on lawns. Do not use outdoor sweeper on steps.

The brushes rotate and sweep up debris when the sweeper is pushed forward.

For best results, push the outdoor sweeper at a normal walking pace.

Brush height adjustment

Turn the height adjustment control (A) toward "HIGH" to raise the brushes. (The rear of the sweeper will move to a lower position.) Turn it towards "LOW" to lower the brushes. (The rear of the sweeper will move to a higher position.)

The settings

LOW - for smooth surfaces and picking up debris that is small in size.

HIGHER settings - for rougher surfaces, such as brick and asphalt, or for picking up larger debris.

If the sweeper is difficult to push on a surface, turn the height adjustment toward "HIGH".

Wall guides

Wall guides are provided on each side of the sweeper to aid in sweeping close to walls or edges.

Guide either side of sweeper along walls.
