drag on hard surfaces, and should be thoroughly
broken in or "scuffed" before the broom is actually
put to work.
• Break-in is easily accomplished by operating the
RedMax Sweeper at full throttle for 3 to 5 minutes in
loose gravel or similar abrasive material. Once
broken in, a RedMax Sweeper will effortlessly move
an amazing variety of materials, ranging from snow
or standing water to heavier objects such as wood
chips or gravel.
• Experience will help you understand the operating
principles of the RedMax Sweeper, but safe
operation must be practiced from the start.
■ OPERATING TECHNIQUES (OP8)(OP9)(OP10)
Operate the RedMax Sweeper at or near full throttle
with its sweeper fins resting on the work surface.
• It is both tiring and unnecessary to lift or hold the fins
from the work surface during sweeping.
• When sweeping narrow areas such as sidewalks,
the RedMax Sweeper can be used to throw material
directly ahead of the operator. Clearing wider areas
may require sweeping at an angle to create
windrows to one side of the path being cleared.
• Windrows of lighter materials often can be combined
into one main row or pile for eventual pickup, while
heavy or bulky material may need to be collected
row-by-row.
• To pull debris from corners, reverse sweeper drum
rotation by turning the powerhead over (throttle
facing "up") .
• Sweeping corners with the RedMax Sweeper upside
down. (OP9)
