Are you able to fully dump the basket using the extended handle? It looks like it would hit the sweeper.

Hi, Yes, it pivots enough to clear the sweeper but best not to let the hopper get too full.

i have a small troy-built riding mower and i am able to completly dump the contents of my sweeper. by using the hadle,top of the basket will come to rest on the top of the brush assembly which in turn will empty completly. i do not try and empty while unit is moving. i also adjust the brush height and sweep my driveway and street in front of my house. works great if brush height is correct.

The only way to fully dump the basket is to stop, get off, lift the basket all the way forward, the drive forward to clear the pile and then lower it. The leverage angles are such that it is very difficult to dump it while moving, especially considering the weight in the basket and the fact that it is behind you.

Yes. The appearance is deceiving; the handle pulls the basket so that the bottom becomes vertical. One bit of side advice - be certain to lift the brushed before crossing pavement. Not doing so puts a lot of strain on the wheel gears.

Using the sweeper is easy and I have experienced no problems thus far. When dumping, I drive my tractor forward, if there is a lot in the catcher basket. I try to empty my basket when I notice its a little over 1/2 full. Wet or damp grass is always a problem and sometimes sticks inside the basket. But I try to use the sweeper when the grass is dry as that is when it works best

Yes. During assembly, simply skip the wheel insertion. You should pick up plugs from your local hardware store so your floor doesn't get scratched. The basket will be fairly stable.

That is quite weird. I have the same model. When I turn mine on, I do so with the handle in the upright position. The beater bar doesn't engage or turn on. When I push down on the handle and begin vacuuming, the beater bar engages.When I want the beater bar to remain off while I use it, I depress the beater bar off switch while the handle is still in the upright position, then push the handle down to begin vacuuming. The beater bar never engages, or moves an inch. If you are using it as I described, does the beater bar still engage on your unit?

Even with the handle fully lowered you cannot have the handle touching the floor and still have the beater bar touch the carpet/floor. The handle must be held 12-14 inches above the floor to have the beater bar fully down against the floor. This is a design flaw and not user correctable. I do not know of an online link to the manual.

Let me just say that the basket is at my mother's house 500 miles away. I believe that there are stops that only let the basket go so far back and the the whole basket would have to be removed and reinstalled backwards to do what you asked. I would have to look at it to see if that was even possible. I don't have the basket here to measure its height. Sorry.

I have the same basket and the handle is removable. If you apply some pressure to the basket, it will deform and voila! The end of the handle can be popped out of its little sock.

If you flip over the sweeper upside down, you will see it consist with two parts. Push it in with your hand and it will flip and will be able to dump the waste. Hope this helped!

I guess you could. You would have to lift the basket each time you wanted to get something out of it.

Yes, it has happened to me a few times. You have the option of removing the beater before the final rise as Bonnie stated before. The manual has instructions that describe this option.

I have never tried to, it would depend on the width of the handle.It is great for broom sizes.

The top on mine closes completely, however the basket has to be positioned perfectly for the handle on the basket to sit flat enough for the top to close.

I have a handle which can be extended and it works just fine. I only use it to go around edges of the pool and do the steps. It works well for what I do.

Not very well at all. It's mostly a hard flooring sweeper. I really like mine for that purpose but when it gets to my large area rug it has a hard time and you can tell it's working extra hard and still not picking up all that much.

This works much better. I like to use a broom to pick the heave stuff. Like if i haven't cleaned in two wks.Than I clean with Bona, than I use the duster. The duster would pick it all up even if you didn't use the broom though.

you have to remove the basket (6 bolts) and then the top goes down fine.Its not difficult but it is a pain if you do it alot.You may want to get different bolts for the basket if thats the case because the allen heads on the supplied bolts wont last if you remove them alot.

Hi Teresa, what is the problem you seem to be having? The basket should simply hook on the crossbar of the walker.

The handle does not fold up on the Fuller Brush, which I absolutely do not recommend and returned after the first use because it picks up nothing. The handle on the Oreck Restaurateur Floor Sweeper, which I totally recommend, also does not fold up. I agree with you that a fold up handle would be useful.
