4. General description
The KM 40 is a front-mounted attachment with special weeds brushes for easy and effective,
eliminating mechanical fugues and moss paved surfaces, paths, places and roadsides.
Ideal for work in the edge region.
It is easily controlled from the driver's cab, optimal overview is given and can be adapted to
different vehicle widths.
Drive only on tractor's PTO possible (there is no oil circuit for operating necessary).
A simple and independent installation by hydraulically driven Brush-plate and side adjustment
by hydraulic cylinders.
Brush head tilt as standard mechanical.
Please read the instructions carefully to familiarize yourself with the operation and
maintenance of the appliance!
The following points should always be observed:
4.1 Field of application
The primary function of the machine is to remove weed of paved areas from ways and
roadsides. In addition it is suitable for general cleaning (e.g. kerbs), but it is not for interior use
or for terraces and narrow paths.
4.2 Vehicle to be used
Most suitable are carrier vehicles with an automatic hydrostatic system for infinitely adjustable
back and forth driving at variable speed.
The vehicle must a PTO drive, have a Front power lift and ideally a floating position.
4.3 Technical requirements:
- When a tractor municipal traktors triangle should be available tob e able to
accommodate devices triangles (To appoint frame size in advance)
- or an additional mounting plate.
- PTO drive at speed min. 2000U / min.
- Power supply 12 V
REFERENCE The specifications of the documentation have to
be attended concurrently.
IMPORTANT
The technical requirements for operation have
to be met.

5. Attachement
A professional attachment has to be carried out by qualified staff.
Pay attention to the attachment specifications of the carrier vehicle manufacturer and the road
traffic act concerning: track protruding parts / distance steering wheel center to front edge of
attachment.
When attaching the machine it has to be further taken into account that all adjustment options
can be used in every operation position (clearance).
The fulcrums have to be well greased and must move smoothly.
6. Start up
The weed machine needed to operate a PTO connection and a power supply of 12 V.
The drive of the machine is achieved with the PTO of the carrier vehicle.
With the help of change-over valves of the main frame during the brushing operation can on or
off (-2S1) are driven and the "tendency of the brush head" (-2S2) be set.
To select serves a mini control panel see 7.1.
The control desk is equipped with 1 cable connection.
Plug –X01 is designated for the connection on the on-board power supply from carrier vehicle.
The telescoping of the main frame with brush and the tilting of the brush head is provided
by a hydraulic cylinders.
DANGER
Before starting work with the front-mounted
machine attention hast o be paid that no
persons are within the imminent work area.
IMPORTANT The clearance of all moving parts hast o be
ensured
WICHTIG Tight fit of the connector and hydraulic hoses to
look out for

7. Operation
During operation the machine has to be driven solely in floating position for better adaption to
ground unevenness and in order to avoid damage to the machine itself and to prevent high
brush wear. An additional contact pressure has to be absolutely avoided.
The depth wheel has to been adapted according to the brush position.
The adaption of the machine has to take place through the implement triangle or the three-point
hitch.The hydraulic hoses to the existing hydraulic aggregate have to be firmly mounted.
The clearance of all movable parts has to be ensured.
The control desk has 2 functions. On the one hand the telescoping of the main frame with brush
(2S1, left-right) and the other hands tilting the brush head (2S2: up-down).
All functions are applicable during the brush is working.

8. Work deployment
Depending on the intensity of dirt on the surface to be cleaned and its material the performance
and the necessary approach differ very much and it can only be learnt by practice and
experience.
To get an optimal cleaning result while treating slick or smoothed surfaces or for removing
heavy earth and snow the brush disc should be inclined accordingly.
For weed cleaning an inclined position has always to be selected.
This is the only way for intensive cleaning.
Setup: very steep - for cobblestone
Slightly flatter - rectangular or interlocking stone
8.1 Tip to the period of implementation
The mechanical weed removal should be executed primarily before a new growing season,
hence on frost-free grounds between October and March. Also wet ground conditions are well
suited for getting optimal work results. If using the machine in dry periods or on a particular hot
day the area should be watered.
NOTE Consider the weather conditions before starting
up see Section 8.1

9. Brush types
NOTE The manufacturer offers different types of
brushes.
The appliance is equipped with the universal flat steel brush KM20
9.1 brush change - Flat steel brush
DANGER
Be sure to turn all aggregates before starting
work on the brush and solve power plug from
the unit.
After changing a brush for tight fit of the screws must be checked and these may need to be
tightened after one working hour.
IMPORTANT Check all fittings and locks are secure.
The different brushes at the brush plate
Attached and can be solved simply by
the 4 screws and remove the brush insert
changing.
In the flat steel brush (KM20-5) are for fixing rubber bushings
mounted at the top.
These need to be cut from the inside along at 3-5 cm after
a brush wear of about 5 cm to the worn area with a knife
(ideally utility knife), so that they retain their elasticity.

10. Impact protection element
It has a lot of adjustment options and has to be set according to the different demands.
Depending on application possible additional protective measures have to be taken:
Barrier posts with plastic covering
Should be secured by covering it with a protection tube.
Base course
Should possibly be protected by putting a steel or wooden plate in front of it.
Traffic island
Should be additionally secured by a transportable large cover where necessary.
11. Maintenance
The 2 grease nipples on the wheel all
10 operating hours Lubricate.
Check bolts for tightness.
12. Support wheel
On different carrier vehicles the depth wheel has to be used in floating position as well in order
to ensure an exact guidance of the broom.
WARNING
When working with no or not properly adjusted
impact protection damage to property or
personal injury can arise!
CAUTION Mind a safety distance.
