Push-aside bike lane sweeper, operations guide
Setup:
- Attach the remote control to your handlebar.
- Attach the hitch to the bike. This requires removing the rear axle or left wheel nut and resinstalling with the hitch.
- Attach the sweeper to the hitch.
- Adjust the hitch coupler (the part with multiple holes) to achieve a light brush pressure. Different bike wheel diameters require different hitch coupler settings.
- The towing bike needs to have a kickstand. Also, in hilly terrain, e-bikes are helpful.
Operation:
- When storing the sweeper, make sure that it’s in the vertical storage mode (or horizontal storage mode) to avoid permanently deforming the brush bristles.
- To avoid flat tires, check the tire pressure every few weeks (should be 2 bar or 28 psi).
- When you finish sweeping, turn off the battery. The light should turn off.
- In dry conditions, the sweepers may kick up dust. Be mindful of local residents and people in the sweeper’s wake. Sweeping after rain minimizes dust.
- The recommended towing speed is 7 to 15 km/h (5 to 10 mph)
