Clothing must be sturdy
and snug-fitting, but allow
complete freedom of
movement.
Avoid loose-fitting jackets,
scarfs, neckties, jewelry,
flared or cuffed pants,
unconfined longhair or
moving parts of the unit.
Wear long pants made of heavy material
to protect your legs. Do not wear shorts,
sandals or go bare foot. Secure hair so it
is above shoulder level.
Good footing is important
in PowerSweep work.
Wear sturdy boots with
nonslip soles.
Wear an approved safety
hard hat to reduce the risk
of injury to your head
when there is a danger of
head injuries.

Preparation for the use of the
PowerSweep
Adjust carrying harness and hand grip to
suit your size before starting work. The
machine should be properly balanced as
specified in your owner's manual for
proper control and less fatique in
operation.
Always check your PowerSweep for
proper condition and operation before
starting, particularly the throttle trigger,
throttle trigger interlock (if applicable),
stop switch, sweeper drums, rubber
sleeve and harness.
The sweeper must be properly tightened
and in safe operating condition. Both
sweeper belts must be mounted. The
rubber sleeve on the end of the drive
tube must be in good condition. Do not
operate your PowerSweep with
damaged sweeper drums or rubber
sleeve. Inspect for loose parts (nuts,
screws, etc) and for worn or damaged
parts. Replace worn or damaged parts.
