3. Safety instructions for the attachments
The most important safety instructions in this manual may not cover all possibilities. It goes
without saying that common sense and caution are factors that are not built into a machine, but must

3.2.2 Work and danger area
● The user is responsible to third parties in the work area!
● Staying in the danger area of the machine is prohibited!
● Before switching on the attachment and driving off, check the immediate area.
Pay particular attention to children and animals. Make sure you have sufficient visibility!
● Before starting work, foreign objects must be removed from the area to be worked on.
When working, watch out for other foreign objects and remove them in good time.
● When working in enclosed areas, the safety distance to the border must be maintained
in order to not to damage the machine or brushes.
● When working in the immediate vicinity of public roads and paths, these should, if
possible,not be approached across but as lengthwise as possible, as this minimises the
risk of injury to third parties from objects flying around.

● Before starting work, please familiarise yourself with all facilities and controls and
familiarise also with their function and make sure that all protective devices are properly
installed and in the protective position. During the work assignment it is too late for that!
3.2.4 During operation
● Never leave the operating area while driving!
● Do not leave the operating station until the brushes of the attachment come to a
standstill!
● Do not make any adjustments to the attachment during operation - risk of accident!
● The transport of persons and objects is prohibited!
● For example, if the attachment has caught a foreign object and is blocking, the engine
must be switched off and the attachment cleaned with a suitable tool!
Always switch off the engine and remove the spark plug connector for interventions or
cleaning the attachment! Please note the safety instructions from
self-propelled implement.
● n the event of damage to the self-propelled implement or attachment, stop the engine

● There is a risk of injury (crushing) when coupling attachments. Special caution is
necessary.
● Couple attachments according to regulations and fasten them at the specified points.
3.2.8 Maintenance, cleaning and repair work
● Maintenance and cleaning work only when the drive is switched off and the motor
stationary!
● If protective devices and work equipment are subject to wear and tear, then these

● Only use original spare parts from the manufacturer, as these correspond to the
technical requirements and minimise the risk of accidents!
● Cleaning work with the high-pressure cleaner should be carried out in such a way that
the Water is held not directly on bearings, turned parts, grease nipples, shaft seals,
wheel hubs etc. After each cleaning with the high-pressure cleaner, the lubrication
points must be re-greased. Otherwise the guarantee will be void!
● Check the moving parts for ease of movement and if necessary grease them!
● After maintenance and cleaning work, be sure to remove the protective devices and put
them in the protective position!
● To avoid the risk of fire, keep the machine clean!
● Check nuts and bolts regularly for tightness and retighten if necessary.
● When carrying out maintenance, cleaning and repair work on the lifted device, always
make sure that it is protected by suitable support elements!
● Before carrying out any repairs, make sure that the hydraulic system is pressureless,
because fluids under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious injuries!
Therefore, seek medical attention immediately - risk of infection!
● Repairs may only be carried out by qualified personnel.
● Check the hydraulic hose lines for damage and aging at regular intervals and replace if
necessary.
● Disconnect the battery when performing welding work on the towing vehicle or on the

8. Operation
8.1 Operating instructions - Weedbrush
The best performance of the Weedbrush is achieved when the brushes in area "A"
(see Fig.4) touch the ground. Since the vertical inclination of the brush plate also contributes to the
work output, the following relationship applies:
The more the brush holder is lowered at an angle (vertical inclination), the sooner and more
aggressively the brushes are used and the wear increases.
Setting the work area:
In order to get to the working area "A" first, the horizontal inclination of the brush plate must be
adjusted.
The horizontal inclination of the brush plate is adjusted using the two screws (Fig.5; Item 1) on the
left and right of the drive unit mount. For that, loosen the lock nuts, adjust the inclination with the help
of the screws and then tighten lock nuts.
The vertical two wheeled tractor of the brush plate is changed by moving the stem housing (Fig.5;
Pos.2) to accommodate (Fig.5; Item 3) at an angle over predefined holes. Using a star grip (Fig.5;
Item 4) and a thumbscrew (Fig.5; Item 5) the angle adjustment is locked.
The height adjustment of the brush plate is made by a support wheel, which can be
changed via the lever (Fig.5, Pos.6). Changes in length of the brushes due to wear are
hereby compensated.
8.2 Turning on the Weedbrush
The Weedbrush is switched on by operating the lever for the hydraulic power take-off (PTO).
