Introduction

3
The City Ranger 2200 is perfect for cutting very high grass
or for chemical-free weed control of lawns.
Flail Mower
For rough grassed areas which are not regularly mown,
the Egholm Flail Mower is the perfect tool. Watching it
Cutting very high grass, with a cutting width of 1,226 mm
is an impressive sight.
The Verticutter
The Verticutter is the perfect means to keep a lawn neatly
mown and improve the resistance of the grass to weeds
without the use of weed killers. Grass needs lots of light
and air, and the Verticutter removes moss and also cuts a
thin score in the lawn to allow air to the roots.
The Verticutter is tted to the City Ranger 2200 in a
oating position and has four wheels to ensure the correct
scoring depth. It operates very close to the ground and
provides a thoroughly level and even lawn surface.
The Flail Mower/Verticutter must not be used for any
purpose other than cutting grass and removing moss from
lawns in accordance with this operator’s manual.
Useful tips
Make sure the snap couplings are clean before attaching,
as this protects the hydraulic system.
Daily cleaning and maintenance will extend the lifetime of
both the machine and the attachment.

2.1 Assembly / Disassembly
1. The locking handle on the A-frame of the basic machine
must be in the unlocked position. (Picture 1)
2. Drive the base machine right up to the A-frame of the
Flail Mower, so the A-frames t into each other.
3. Raise the A-frame by pulling the joystick back until the
Flail Mower is suspended and free of the ground. (Picture 2)
4. Stop the machine.
5. Lock the Flail Mower in place with the locking handle on
the A-frame. (Picture 3) The locking handle can only be
engaged when the machine has been stopped.

2.2 Before start-up
Transport: The transport lock prevents the attachment
from lowering during transport.
How to use the transport lock: Move the handle to the
uppermost position. Lift the A-frame by moving the
joystick up. As the A-frame lifts, the transport lock is
automatically activated. (Picture 1)
How to unlock the transport lock: Unhitch the handle and
lift the A-frame to the uppermost position. The attachment
can now be lowered again. (Picture 2)
Check the blades are sharp, intact and free from cracks
before tting the Flail Mower. This avoids unnecessary
breakdown while mowing. (Picture 3)
Attention! Avoid ying stones:
Remove stones and branches from the
lawn as they can be unintentionally
thrown out and cause damage to people
and property. Check the protective
screens on the front and back edges of the
mower guard regularly for cracks or wear.

2.3 Start-up
1. Start the machine.
2. Lower the Flail Mower by moving the joystick down.
(Picture 1)
3. Activate the weight distribution with the red button on

(Picture 2)
Attention!
To avoid damaging the blades and guard,
avoid manhole covers and similar obstacles.
Attention!
Make sure no one is standing close to the
machine while it is in use.
Attention!
When turning, the rear of the machine
swings out, so there is a risk of crushing or
collision.
Attention! Rotating parts!
Make sure no one puts their ngers or
toes under the Flail Mower while it is
moving to avoid personal injury.

2.4 Adjustment
Adjusting the cutting height (Flail Mower)
Adjust the cutting height as follows:
1. Stop the machine.
2. Rough adjustment using seven adjusting rings in
interval 0–110 mm. (See table)
Remove the locking ring. Take o the wheel and place the
required number of adjusting rings between the wheel
and the mower bracket (the same number on both front
wheels). (Picture 1)
For example, 4 adjusting rings between the wheel and
the mower bracket allow the mower to be nely adjusted
to a height of between 25 and 78 mm.
3. Fine adjustment is made with the variably adjustable
handle, which adjusts the height of the rear edge of the
Flail Mower.
4. For very tall grass, the mower should have a larger
opening at the back, sucient to eject the grass without
squeezing it into clumps. (Picture 2)
In other words it is an advantage to use as few adjusting
rings as possible to achieve the required cutting height.
