Important Considerations for Optimal Operation

Alignment of the catcher floor with the ground is crucial for optimal operation. Adjust this via the adjuster on the underside of the tow bar. The correct brush height is vital to avoid excess wear; the brushes should lightly touch the ground to effectively collect debris without causing strain to the system.

Fitting and Towing the SCH TS98

Attaching the Tow Bar

Use the provided 10mm bolt and nut to connect the tow bar to the sweeper, ensuring pivotability.

Attaching the Catcher

Secure the catcher on the sweeper arms using the supplied 2 x 8mm nuts and bolts.

Emptying the Collector

To empty the catcher, utilize the metal hand grip to pivot the catcher upwards, shaking if necessary to remove stubborn debris. For large disposals, the sweeper can be reversed into a compost heap for direct emptying, ensuring to raise the brushes off the ground before reversing.
