Introduction

3Operator’s Manual Park Ranger 2150 Weed brush
1. General information
The Weed brush has been specially developed
for the Egholm utility machine
The Weed brush is used to remove weeds from
kerbs, pavements and roads.
The Weed brush features a sturdy, front-moun-
ted steel brush that is hydraulically adjustable in
two directions.
The Weed brush can be tted together with the
hopper from the Suction Sweeper Unit in order
to collect weeds and seeds loosened by the
brush.
The Weed brush can be assembled and
disassembled without using tools.
Useful tips
Always start your weed control in early spring. A
perfect result requires repeated efforts
throughout the summer.
Grass tufts by the edges of paths and
pavements are easiest to remove when they are
moist. Here, too, you should start weed removal
before the grass starts to grow.
Large, heavy or damp grass tufts can be dicult
for the machine to collect. Therefore, for a
perfect result, leave them to dry for a couple of
days before using the Suction Sweeper Unit to
remove them.

2.1 Assembly/Disassembly
Assembly
1. The locking handle on the A-frame of the basic
unit must be in the open position. (Picture 1)
2. Drive the machine right up to the A-frame of
the Weed brush so that the A-frames t into
each other. NB! We recommend raising the basic
unit A-frame slightly to prevent damage to the
paintwork on the Weed brush when the two
A-frames make contact.
3. Use lever A to lift the A-frame until the brushes
are raised clear of the ground. (Picture 3)
4. Use the locking handle on the A-frame to lock
the Weed brush in position. (Picture 2)
5. Fit the two medium-sized hydraulic hoses to
the B-connectors. (Picture 3)
6. Use the rubber ring to attach the hydraulic
hoses under the running board to ensure that they
run correctly across the screen. (Picture 4)

2.3 Emptying the hopper
With three-way valve
If the hopper is tted with a three-way valve, use
lever C to empty the the hopper. (Picture 2)
NB!
It is not possible to empty the hopper if
the Weed brush is started.
Without three-way valve (old version)
If the hopper is not tted with a three-way valve,
disconnect the Weed brush hydraulic hoses from C1
and C2 and connect the hopper hoses to C1 and C2
before emptying the the hopper. (Picture 1)
Reconnect the hydraulic hoses in the reverse order
after emptying the hopper.
N.B!
There is a risk of crushing ngers when
emptying the hopper.
2.4 Adjustment
Removing weeds from the side of the road
When removing weeds from the side of the road, we
recommend that you tilt the Weed brush to the right
towards the edge of the road. To do this:
- Move lever C up to position 1. (Picture 2)
NB
it is not possible to tilt the brush before
the Weed brush is started. If the brush is
stopped the hopper will start to tip.
To tilt the Weed brush to the left
- Move lever C down to position 2. (Picture 2)
To tilt the Weed brush forwards
This will result in pressure being applied to the front
part of the brush:
- Move lever B down into position 2. (Picture 2)
To tilt the Weed brush backwards
- Move lever B up to position 1. (Picture 2)

2.4 Adjustment - continued
Adjusting the wearing rail
The centre brush ensures that the weeds are
collected in the hopper.
The wearing rail holds the centre brush and must
always be in contact with the ground to ensure
that the centre brush functions optimally.
(Picture 1)
If the wearing rail is correctly adjusted, it will
follow the terrain.
Correct setting of the wearing rail
The wearing rail is correctly adjusted if there are
2-3 mm of space between the metal and the
A-frame. (Picture 2)
If the gap is too large, the rail cannot be lifted
clear of the ground. The wearing rail is therefore
correctly adjusted when it is clear of the ground in
“lifted” position.
Adjusting the wearing rail
1. Lower the wearing rail.
2. Remove the forked bolt. (Picture 3)
3. Turn the fork end in towards the wearing rail.
(Picture 3)
The shorter the threaded section, the more the
wearing rail will be raised.

3.3 Troubleshooting
If weeds remain lying on the ground
For the machine to collect weeds in the hopper,
the centre brush must touch the ground. To
adjust the position of the centre brush, change
the setting of the wearing rail. (See Section 2.4)
If branches or twigs block the suction mouth
1. Stop the machine. (See Section 2.2 of the
operator’s manual for the basic unit)
2. Disconnect the suction hose from the suction
mouth. (Picture 2)
3. Remove branches and twigs manually.
4. Reconnect the suction hose.
If the suction hose is blocked
In extreme conditions, sand deposits can
gradually block the suction hose. To deal with this
situation:
1. Stop the machine. (See Section 2.2 of the
operator’s manual for the basic unit)
2. Disconnect the suction hose. (Picture 2)
3. Shake the hose to remove the unwanted
material.
4. Reconnect the suction hose.
NB!
When collecting heavy material
Iff you are using the machine to
collect heavy material such as sand,
make sure to empty the hopper from
becoming unstable on account of
excess weight.
