Tips for using the Model T10043 Lawn  
Sweeper:  
Rope  
Empty the leaf bag after every use.  
To dump the leaf bag, pull the leaf bag dump  
rope forward or lift the rear of the leaf bag.  
Figure 18. Rope attachment.  
For best results and ease of use, be sure the  
height is properly adjusted for both the sur-  
face being swept and the hitch height of the  
mower.  
Make sure the leaf bag dump rope is  
secured to the riding mower during use but  
does not interfere with the operation of the  
mower. Additionally, make sure the leaf bag  
dump rope is not in a position to become  
entangled in the wheels or brushes of the  
sweeper. Failure to safely secure the rope  
during use can damage the sweeper or  
cause you to lose control of the mower.  
Follow the maintenance schedule outlined  
in these instructions to prevent unnecessary  
wear on your sweeper.

3. Apply a few drops of light oil to the wheel  
bushings, as shown in Figure 22, and spin  
the wheel to distribute the oil. Replace the  
washer, wheel nut, and the dust cap. Flip  
the sweeper on to the other side and repeat  
Steps 1-3 for the other bushings.  
Maintenance  
To prevent excessive wear, periodically lubricate  
the brush shaft bushings, the wheel bushings,  
and grease the ratchet assemblies in each wheel  
unit.  
To lubricate the bushings:  
1. Tilt the sweeper onto its side and apply a few  
drops of light oil to the brush shaft, as shown  
in Figure 20.

Figure 22. Wheel nut removal.  
Every two years, the ratchet assemblies in each  
wheel should be cleaned and greased.  
Note: When performing this procedure, take  
notes on the position of all washers, spacers,  
and retaining rings. Work on one side at a time to  
avoid mixing directional components.  
Figure 20 Brush shaft bushing lubrication.  
2. With the sweeper still on its side, remove  
the dust cap on the exposed wheel, then  
remove the wheel nut and washer, as shown  
in Figure 21.  
To grease the ratchet assemblies:  
1. Remove the dust cover, wheel nut, and  
washer, as described in Step 2 of "To  
Lubricate the Bushings", then remove the  
wheel (Figure 23).

2. Remove the retaining clip from the brush  
shaft, then remove the spacers (Figure 24).  
With extensive use, the brushes on the Model  
T10043 may become worn and require replace-  
ment.  
To replace the brushes:  
1. Tilt the sweeper all the way forward to allow  
easy access to the brushes. For the sake of  
simplicity, only replace one brush at a time.

2. Remove the lock nuts and hex bolts indicated  
in Figure 26, and remove the old brushes.  
It is not necessary to remove the bolts and  
nuts connecting the brush holder to the brush  
shaft.
