8 Operation
8.1 Operating instructions - Weed brush
The best performance of the weed brush is achieved when the brushes in the area "A" (see
Fig.4) touch the ground. Since the vertical inclination of the brush plate also contributes to
the work, 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:
To get into the working area "A" first, the horizontal inclination of the brush plate must first
be set.
The horizontal of the brush plate is adjusted by the two screws (Fig. 5, Item 1) on the right
and left of the take - up of the drive machine. To do this, loosen the locknuts, adjust the
inclination using the screws and then tighten the locknuts.
The vertical two wheeled tractor of the brush plate is changed by the stem housing (Fig.5;
Pos.2) for receiving (Fig.5, Pos.3) can be adjusted at an angle over predefined holes. By
means of a star grip (Fig.5, Pos.4) and a thumbscrew (Fig.5, Pos.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 weed brush
By actuating the lever for the hydraulic power take off (PTO), the weed brush is
switched on.11
