2.1 Assembly/Disassembly
1. The locking handle on the A-frame of the
basic machine must be in the unlocked position.
(Picture 1)
Tips!
Raise the Hedge cutter front wheels free of the
ground and lower the support struts, so that
the Hedge cutter A-frame is angled back. This
makes it much easier to ‘catch’ the A-frame when
attaching. (Picture 2)
2. Drive the machine right up to the A-frame of the
Hedge cutter so the A-frames t into each other.
(Picture 3)
3. Raise the A-frame by pulling the joystick back
until the Hedge cutter is suspended, i.e. free of
the ground. (Picture 4)
4. Stop the machine.

trimming. The cutting bar is then raised higher up
the hedge, so that the same section is trimmed all
the way to the top. (Picture 1)

Depending on the conditions, an operating speed
of 1–3 km/h is recommended.
