1.1 Safety
N.B:
As it is articulated, the rear end of the
machine swings out when turning. Make
sure that no one is standing near the
machine while it is in use. (Picture 1)
Make sure no one is standing close to
the machine while it is in use:
To avoid personal injury people must stay
clear of the cutting bar when it is being
lowered and tilted.
Cover the cutting bar when the Hedge
Trimmer is not in use and during
transport.
Remove the cover immediately prior to use.
(Picture 2)
In the case of maintenance or repair,
always switch o the motor.
The attachment motor must be stopped
before any adjustment, maintenance or
repair can be carried out on the Hedge
Trimmer.
Avoid roll-overs!
Do not drive the machine in a place where it
can slide, tip or roll. Do not drive on slopes
with an incline of more than 10°. The tyre
pressure must be checked and adjusted to
1.5 bar (22 psi) when the Hedge Trimmer is
attached. Lower tyre pressure increases the
risk of roll-overs. (Picture 3)

2.1 Assembly/Disassembly
1. The locking handle on the A-frame of the basic machine
must be in the unlocked position. (Picture 1)
Tips!
Raise the Hedge Trimmer front wheels free of the ground
and lower the support struts, so that the Hedge trimmer
A-frame is angled back. This makes it much easier to
‘catch’ the A-frame when attaching. (Picture 2)
2. Drive the machine right up to the A-frame of the Hedge
Trimmer so the A-frames t into each other. (Picture 3)
3. Raise the A-frame by pulling the joystick back until
the Hedge trimmer is suspended, i.e. free of the ground.
(Picture 4)
4. Stop the machine.

6. Pull out pin on each wheel support strut. Raise support
struts all the way and replace the pins. (Picture 2)

During transport:
Lock the Hedge Trimmer in the raised position using the
transport lock.

A-frame by pulling the joystick back. As the A-frame lifts,
the transport lock is automatically activated. (Picture 1)
How to unlock the transport lock:
Unhitch the handle and lift the A-frame to the highest
position. The attachment can now be lowered again.

Trim hedges and bushes from below, i.e. with the cutting
bar turned with the outer part down, so that the skid just
touches the ground. Start trimming. The cutting bar is
then raised higher up the hedge, so that the same section
is trimmed all the way to the top. (Picture 1)
Operating speed
Depending on the conditions, an operating speed of 1–3
km/h is recommended.
