2 Description
2.1 General description of weed brush
The weed brush consists of a steel construction with an angular gear, on which the tool holder
- also known as the brush plate (1:B) - is mounted. The brush plate can be fitted with a tufted
brush edging (1:C) or with braided wire rope. The rotation of the brush plate and the propulsion
of the carrier vehicle scrape the weeds out of gaps and they are collected by a guard (1:E)
(1:D) attached to the side.
2.2 Mounting on carrier vehicle
The weed brush is mounted on the lifting struts (3:O) of the carrier vehicle. It is securely
connected on each lifting strut with two bolts, as shown in the figure (4:P).
3 Installation
3.1 Important information for initial start-up
•The carrier vehicle is not equipped with a rev counter. To ensure that the maximum drive shaft
speed of 1,600 rpm is not exceeded, the adhesive label supplied (13:K) must be attached on
the side next to the throttle lever (13:L). Taking into account the transmission ratio, this
corresponds to a brush plate speed of around 300 rpm.
•The adhesive label should be attached as shown in Figure 13. To make it easier to attach, the
length of the adhesive label matches the length of the slot for the throttle lever.
Ensure careful attachment to ensure that the speed does not fall below or exceed the
specified level.
•The adhesive label (13:K) is part of the machine's safety equipment. Operating the
attachment without it is strictly prohibited.
3.2 Mechanical coupling
•Observe the information from the carrier vehicle operating manual.
•When coupling there is a risk of injury, e.g. due to crushing. Exceptional care is required.
•The procedure for coupling the attachment is as follows:
1. Lower the lifting struts and move the carrier vehicle slowly towards the attachment in
a straight line.
2. Open the viewing panel on the base (2:N) and observe carefully to make sure the
lifting struts engage in the holding pockets (3:O). Also ensure that the shaft (4:Q) is in
the correct position.
3. When the fastening holes are aligned, a large and a small locking bolt are inserted
and secured with a cotter pin (4:P).
4. Push the drive shaft onto the splined shaft on the carrier vehicle and secure the chain
on the carrier machine (5:R) to prevent the shaft guard from turning with the shaft.
5. Raise the attachment and move the supports to the upper end position.
6. Hook up the electrical connection to the carrier vehicle.
11
ENGLISH
EN
3.3 Connecting hydraulic hoses
•Before connecting the hydraulic hoses, make sure that the carrier vehicle hydraulic system is
not pressurized.
•Before connecting, make sure all connections are clean. Impurities in the hydraulic fluid can
cause severe damage to the hydraulic system.
•Stop the motor.
•Move the hydraulic controls back and forth to relieve any excess pressure.
•Remove the protective covers (7:T) from the couplings and connect the hydraulic connection
as shown in figures 7 - 9.
4 Detaching
•Observe the information from the carrier vehicle operating manual.
•When uncoupling there is a risk of injury, e.g. due to crushing. Exceptional care is required.
•The procedure for uncoupling the attachment is as follows:
1. Raise the attachment and move the supports to the lower end position.
2. Detach the chain from the shaft guard on the carrier machine and disconnect the
shaft.
3. Lower the attachment and stop the motor.
4. Release any excess pressure in the hydraulic system by moving all hydraulic controls
back and forth.
5. Disconnect the hydraulic hoses and fit the protective covers on the couplings.
6. Disconnect the electrical connection to the carrier vehicle.
7. Remove the locking bolts (4:P) and carefully reverse away.
5 Operation
5.1 Maximum brush plate operating speed
Caution:
•The maximum speed of the shaft is 1,600 rpm. Note that when the power take-off is turned on,
the throttle lever may not be pushed further forward (see Fig. 13) than indicated by the
adhesive label (13:K) attached next to the throttle lever (13:L).
•Section 3.1 describes how to attach the adhesive label (13:K).
•The adhesive label (13:K) is part of the machine's safety equipment. The attachment
may not be operated without this adhesive label.
5.2 Adjusting the brush plate
5.2.1 General
•The working height of the brush plate is adjusted using the trailing stabilizer wheel (1:G). The
working height depends on the position of the brush plate (1:B) and the degree of wear of the
brushes (1:C).
•The plate is adjusted according to the severity of the weed growth. The working range of the
brush plate is shown in Figure (10:A). A good performance is achieved when the brush plate is
tilted slightly to the right and slightly backwards, viewed in the direction of travel.
•Particularly good results are achieved after precipitation and in damp weather.
•The travel speed depends on the severity of the weed growth.
12
ENGLISH
EN
5.2.2 Adjusting the brush plate inclination
•The brush plate inclination angle is adjusted using the hydraulic cylinders (1:I and 1:H). The
cylinder (1:I) pivots the brush plate laterally to the direction of travel. The cylinder (1:H) pivots
the brush plate forwards and backwards relative to the direction of travel.
•They are controlled by the valve lever (11:C) on the carrier vehicle. To ensure that the
hydraulic auxiliary drive is actuated and not the lifting struts, the top button (11:B) on the valve
lever must be pressed and held down while operating the valve lever.
•The rocker switch (11:D) is used to select either the cylinder (1:I) or the cylinder (1:H).
5.3 Adjusting the splash guard
•The rotary motion of the brush plate throws out materials such as weeds, stones, and other
objects. To prevent this material from leaving the working area, a splash guard (1:E+D) is
attached to the side of the machine.
Always ensure that the splash guard is adjusted correctly to prevent a risk of injury and
damage to third party property.
•The splash guard setting depends on the brush plate position and local conditions.
•Figure (12) shows the possible splash guard settings. The angle of the pivot arm (12:F) can be
adjusted by releasing the clamping lever (12:H). Similarly, the angle of the splash guard (12:E)
is adjusted using the clamping lever (12:G).
•The rubber flaps (1:D) on the splash guard must rest lightly on the ground in working position.
Adjust the height of the splash guard as follows:
1. Loosen the clamping lever (12:J) by turning it to the left.
2. Pull the clamping lever
3. Adjust the height
4. Release the clamping lever, making sure that it engages in a hole
5. Tighten the clamping lever by turning it to the right
