1.1.2.3 Inspection before use
Prior to each use of the evice, check tightening of bolts, fastening of the brush on the carrier an all screwe connections of guar s,
covers an the engine. If you fin any eficiency, remove it imme iately.
It is forbi en to operate the evice without the protective guar an the bottom rubber flap!
Do not remove, change or overri e any safety evices or control elements.
Observe the maintenance instructions an replace amage or worn parts imme iately.
1.1.2.4 Proceed with caution during operation
Do not start the engine an o not use the evice in oors! Exhaust fumes are poisonous - a risk of eath ue to poisoning.
Do not start the engine if there are other persons or animals in the vicinity of the evice.
Do not start the engine if the fuel is spille .
Procee with caution when han ling the evice. The exhaust silencer is hot uring operation. You may get burnt.
Always switch off the engine an wait until the brush comes to a stan still:
- before you start any activity near the evice
- before you step away from the evice
- before you move the evice to use it elsewhere
- before transporting the evice
- before you refuel
Always switch off the engine an wait until the brush comes to a stan still, an pull off the spark plug connector:
- before you clean or check the evice or carry out work at the evice
1.1.2.5 Prior to brushing
Persona protective measures
Due to excee ing the recommen e noise an vibration values, follow these instructions when working with the machine:
- Protect your hearing using suitable protection ai s accor ing to EN 352-1:2002 (earmuffs) or EN 352-2:2002 (earplugs).
Request these ai s from you ealer.
- after 20 minutes of work with the evice make a break for at least 10 minutes. During these breaks the respective operators
must not be expose to any other source of noise or vibrations.
During work use work ai s approve accor ing to EN 166:2001 or EN 1731:2006 - close-fitting clothes with long
trouser-legs, firm ski resistant shoes, work gloves an safety glasses. Do not use open san als; o not work
barefoot.
Due to the possibility of increase ust evelopment when working with the brush, use ai s for respiratory protection
(respirators or masks) accor ing to EN149:2001+A1:2009. Request the equipment from you ealer.
Preparing the work area
When checking the area to be brushe remove all large soli objects (such as stones, sticks, wires, plastic packaging an similar
municipal waste) that can be propelle away from the evice or amage the evice.
1.1.2.6 Proceed with caution during brushing
The evice is fitte with a rotating tool. The maximum tip spee is 11 m.s-1.
Make sure that other persons (particu ar y chi dren and anima s) are at a safe distance of at east 15 metres from
the running device - possibi ity of thrown objects!
The area in front of an next to the evice is especially angerous.
Keep a safe istance from the evice secure by the position of the han le.
Always hol the han lebars of the evice with both han s.
The rotating brush always in uces a reaction force with the ten ency to steer the evice to the right. The more you press on the brush,
the greater is the force eviating the machine. In the case of a su en increase of resistance against the brush (especially when hitting a
curb) this force may result in su en jumping of the han lebars to the right or backwar s.
Never fix the control lever of the brush in the activate position. If you lose control over the evice, there is a risk of injury to the
operator or other persons or amage to property.
Only work uring aylight or with a equate artificial lighting. Never work un er a verse light con ition (rain, fog, etc.).
Never lift or carry the evice when the engine is running.
Take extra care when han ling the machine. When the engine is turne off, the exhaust silencer remains hot.
Never run the evice for a long perio of time at a maximum spee or never leave it i ling for too long with eactivate brush rive
pulley! Parts of the rive train (V-belt, belt pulley, tension pulley, etc.) may get amage !
Take regular breaks to rest.
Contact an authorize service centre to check the evice:
- if the brush hits into a soli object.
- if the evice starts to vibrate unusually severely

Work on steep s opes
Devices fitte with four stroke engines may only be operate on less than 20° slope. Otherwise, the four stroke engine may get
amage ue to insufficient oil lubrication.
When working on steep slopes, there is a risk of slipping an tilting!
Only brush on steep slopes if safe operation is assure .
Never use the evice on excessively steep slopes.
Sure footing is essential for your safety, always wear ski resistant safety shoes.
Be extremely careful when changing the irection.
The evice may roll away when you work ownhill. Place the not use evice on even surfaces only, prevent ina vertent rolling.
Fire hazard
The brush produces sparks when brushing against hard materia s (especia y rocks or concrete) which may
ignite easi y f ammab e materia s (dry grass, etc.).
Procee with caution when working in extremely hot an ry weather con itions.
Moisten any easily flammable material before you brush over it.
Carry a sufficient amount a suitable extinguishing agent.
If si e inclination is too great, fuel may leak from the carburettor or the tank. This poses a fire hazar !
Check the area you just worke on also after the brushing is complete to make sure that no fire breaks out.
Never use the brush in explosive atmosphere.
To prevent fire hazar , keep the following components free of irt, grass, hay, leaking oil, grease, etc.:
- engine ventilator grille (starter)
- exhaust silencer an its cover
- area aroun the fuel tank
1.1.2.7 When work is completed
When you have complete your work, close the engine fuel supply - only in AS 30 WeedHex 160
Prior to leaving the evice, wait until the brush comes to a stan still an pull off the spark plug connector.
After switching the engine off, let the evice cool own for at least 20 minutes. Then you may store it in a ry an ventilate room.
Never store the evice with a full fuel tank especially insi e a buil ing where open fire or sparks may appear.
1.1.2.8 Proceed with caution during maintenance and repair
Any repairs, a justments, lubrication, an cleaning of the machine must be carrie out when the machine is at a stan still, an its spark
plug connector is isconnecte .
Carry out only the service operations escribe in these operating instructions. Other repairs or a justing is to be implemente by the
manufacturer’s or your ealer’s authorize service centres.
When han ling the steel brush, always use work gloves! The steel brush wires are sharp. Slight pieces “splinters” may also be release .
Use only original brushes an spare parts from AS-motor. Unoriginal brushes an spare parts may cause serious injuries.
We woul like to emphasize expressly that accor ing to act on pro uct liability we may not be liable for the amage cause by our
evices if:
- any worn or amage parts are not replace or repaire in time
- amage has been cause by an improperly complete repair
- the replace parts are not our original spare parts approve by us
- Repair has not been complete by an authorise service centre
The same applies to spare parts an accessories
