5. Návod k obsluze
The Yard Commander Lawn Sweeper is designed for efficient collection of leaves, grass clippings, pine needles, and other light debris.
5.1 Adjusting Brush Engagement
Use the height adjustment lever to set the brush engagement. For heavier debris like wet leaves, you may need to lower the brushes for more aggressive sweeping. For lighter debris or to prevent excessive wear on brushes, raise them slightly. The goal is to have the brushes just barely touching the top of the grass blades to effectively pick up debris without digging into the turf.
5.2 Technika zametání
Drive your towing vehicle at a consistent, moderate speed. Overlapping each pass slightly will ensure complete coverage of your lawn. The sweeper is effective across various seasons for different types of debris.
- Jaro: Ideal for picking up winter debris and preparing your lawn.
- Letní: Efficiently collects grass clippings after mowing.
- Podzim: Perfect for gathering fallen leaves and acorns.

5.3 Emptying the Hopper
When the 20 cubic-feet hopper is full, simply pull the attached string from your towing vehicle to release the contents. This allows for quick and easy disposal of collected debris without dismounting.
