2.1 Overview
Figure 1 (See Chapter 1 Figures on page 6) shows the basic structure of the weed
brush.
The weed brush consists of a steel construction with an angle gear on which the
brush plate (02) is mounted. The brush plate (02) can be equipped with a tufting
(07) or with wire rope pegs. By the rotation of the brush plate (02) and the
propulsion of the carrier vehicle, the weeds are removed from the joints and
collected by a side mounted splash guard frame with signal band (01) and rubber
spray tabs (08).

3.4 Occupational and Hazardous Areas
The plan view of the machine shown in Figure 2 (See Chapter 1 Illustrations on
page 6) shows the work area, the safety area and the danger area.
The scope of delivery essentially consists of the shown and listed machine. It is
the weed brush UB6080M.
• RED Danger area
• YELLOW safety area (radius of 5 meters around the brush plate (02))
• GREEN Workspace
WARNING
Danger of injury / risk of environmental damage from working /
staying in the danger area!
Working / stopping in the danger zone poses a risk of injury, as well as the risk
of damage to the environment and property (on the machine or system)!
• The user is responsible towards third parties in the danger and safety
area of the machine!
• Staying in the danger and safety area of the machine is prohibited! Refer
all persons from the danger and security area. The security area has a
radius of 5 m around the brush plate.
• When approaching people to the danger and safety area, the machine
must be switched off.
• The operator must make sure that there are no persons or property
in the ejection area (safety area)
• Check both the danger area and the safety area before switching on
the implement and starting it up. Especially on children and animals
is important. Make sure you have enough sight!
• Park the implement in hard-to-see areas and make sure that no one
is in the area of danger and safety.
• Before starting work, remove foreign objects from the surface to be
worked. Pay attention to other foreign objects during work and eliminate
them in good time.
• When working in enclosed areas, the safety distance to the border must
be maintained so as not to damage the machine or brushes
• When working in the immediate vicinity of public roads and paths, these
should not be approached longitudinally, but preferably as far as
possible, thereby minimizing the risk of injury to third parties due to
flying objects.
• When working on public roads and squares or in the immediate vicinity,
warning and danger signs should be set up to attract the attention of third
parties.
