Introduktion
!

The Egholm Grass Collector quickly and eciently collects
grass clippings directly from the Rotary Mower.
A turbine transports grass clippings from the mower at
the front to the hopper at the back.
The turbine nely separates grass, twigs and leaves, ready
for composting.
The turbine airstream exits the tank via a grid at the top
of the hopper.
Emptying the hopper is easy – done from the cab seat.
The hopper has a high-level tipping function so that it can
be emptied directly into a container.
The hopper can be attached or detached quickly and
easily, using the specially designed moveable frame.

1.1 Safety
Avoid roll-overs:
Do not drive the machine in a place where it
can slide, tip or roll. Do not drive on slopes
with an incline of more than 10°. (Picture 1)
NB!
As it is articulated, the rear end of the machine swings out
when turning. Make sure that no one is near the machine
while it is in use to avoid crushing.
Tyre pressure:
Check tyre pressure before attaching the hopper. Adjust to
1.5 bar (22 psi).
Low tyre pressure increases the risk of roll-over accidents.
Emptying the hopper:
Before emptying the hopper, make sure that:
a. the machine is rmly parked in level space on a stable
surface and that the machine is not “angled”.
b. there is sucient space to open the rear cover.
Tipping the hopper:
The hopper must neither be tipped nor
raised when the turbine is running.
Make sure that the hopper is secured:
Check that the hopper is securely locked
onto the machine. (Picture 2)
Do not get too close to the hopper:
Make sure there is no one close to the
machine when it is in use.

2.5 Emptying the hopper
When the hopper is full, suction stops.
Grass clippings can either be emptied onto the ground or
into a container.
Tipping height is variably adjustable from 575–1,860 mm.
NB!
Before emptying the hopper, make sure that:
a) The machine is on a level surface and that it is not
“angled”.
b) there is sucient space to open the rear cover.
1. Stop PTO front and rear. (Picture 1)
2. Drive to disposal area.
3. To empty without high tipping:
The “Water Front” contact must be switched ON.
(Picture 2)
Start emptying by raising the lower joystick. The hopper
begins to tip.
Note that the rear cover opens automatically when the
hopper is tipped at an angle of about 30°. (Picture 3)
4. To empty with high tipping:
The “Water Front” contact must be switched OFF.
(Picture 2)
Start raising the hopper by raising the lower joystick.
When the hopper has reached the correct height, start to
empty it.
The “Water Front” contact must now be switched ON.
(Picture 2)
Start emptying by raising the lower joystick, the hopper
begins to tip.
Note that the rear cover opens automatically when the
hopper is tipped at an angle of about 30°. (Picture 4)

5. When the hopper is empty, push the lower joystick
down (the hopper tips back in place). Do not release the
joystick handle until the hopper is completely back in
place.
If you used the high tipping function, switch the “Water
Front” switch to OFF. Push the lower joystick down
(hopper moves down). Do not release the joystick handle
until the hopper is completely back in place.
The hopper is tted with a hose-break valve which may
lock if you lower the hopper too fast. If the hose-break
valve activates, raise the hopper again and then lower it
more slowly.
Important!
To avoid accidents and injuries: Do not tip or raise the
hopper unless the turbine has been shut o! When
power to the turbine has been switched o, the deck will
continue to work for approximately
15 secs.
Note: There is a risk of crushing while the hopper is being
emptied.
Make sure the hopper is completely lowered after
emptying!
Always check that the rear cover is closed after emptying!
2.6. Adjustment
1. Adjusting exhaust air direction:
The exhaust air can be adjusted either to blow upwards or
downwards.
To adjust the air direction: turn the vent in the exhaust-
air grate. Loosen the bolts at both sides, turn the vent as
required and retighten the bolts. (Picture 1)

2.7 Leaf vacuum hose for hopper (optional
equipment)
A Leaf vacuum hose can be purchased and tted on top of
the hopper as an optional equipment.
The hose can be used to collect leaves, hedge cuttings and
pine needles, for example.
It can swivel through 360º above the machine (if a roll bar
is tted, it can swivel around up to the roll bar). (Picture 1)
The Leaf vacuum hose is tted with an extension arm that
can be extended as required to allow the vacuum hose to
reach over hedges, etc. (Picture 2)
We recommend using the Leaf vacuum hose alongside or
in front of the machine.
2.8 Before tting the Leaf vacuum hose
When the Leaf vacuum hose is ordered at the same time
as the hopper, the hopper is prepared for connection of
the hose.
If the Leaf vacuum hose is ordered subsequently, the
following must be tted to the hopper before use:
Fitting sealing ring to the changeover valve
housing. (Picture 3)
1. Position the sealing ring on top of the collar of the
change-over valve housing.
2. Place the strip supplied around the sealing ring and
tighten. Cut o the loose end.
Can swivel above the cab

3.1 Cleaning
Important!
The machine must be stopped immediately if there is
imbalance in the lter or turbine to prevent vibration
damage in the turbine.
