Warning
This symbol marks all paragraphs in the-
se operating instructions which concern
your safety. Pass all safety instructions to
other users and operators.
Also read and observe the safety regu-
lations in the operating instructions for
the engine.
Due Use
The weed brush in conjunction with a hand-
controlled single-axle drive unit, is intended
for the removal of weeds from areas not di-
rectly neighbouring water surfaces, such as
paved, concreted or asphalted areas. It is de-
signed for a power take-off input speed of 825
to 900 rpm and for a driving power of 6 - 10
kW. The area to be cultivated should be nor-
mally of a size equivalent to those found in
gardening and landscaping work. (Due use)
Any other type of operation is considered
undue. The manufacturer is not liable for
any damage resulting from undue use, for
which the risk lies with the user alone.
The weed brush is not intended for use
in areas such as those neighbouring on
water surfaces, on meadows or with a
two-axle prime mover unit.
Due use includes compliance with manu-
facturer’s instructions on operation, main-
tenance and repair.
Any unauthorized changes to the weed
brush render manufacturer liability null and
void.
General Instructions on
Safety and Accident
Prevention
Basic Rule:
The standard accident prevention regula-
tions must be adhered to, as well as all
other generally accepted rules governing
operational safety, occupational health and
road traffic regulations.
For drives on public roads, the latest traf-
fic code applies.
Accordingly, check the weed brush for
road and operational safety each time you
take up operation.
Only persons familiar with the weed brush
and instructed on the hazards of operati-
on are allowed to use, maintain and re-
pair the weed brush.
Young persons of 16 years or younger are
not permitted to operate the weed brush!
Only work in good light and visibility.
Operator’s clothes should fit tightly. Avoid
wearing loosely fitting clothes. Wear solid
shoes.
Note the warning and instruction signs on
the weed brush for safe operation. Com-
pliance is for your own safety.
When transporting the machine on vehicles
or trailers outside the area to be cultivated,
ensure that the engine is shut off.
Careful with rotating tools keep at a safe
distance!
Beware of coasting tools. Before you start
any maintenance or repair on them, wait
until tools have come to a complete stop.
Foreign powered parts shear and squee-
ze!
Riding on the attachment during operation
is not permitted.
Implements and weights influence the dri-
ving, steering, braking, and tip-over cha-
racteristics of the weed brush. Therefore,
ensure steering and braking functions are
sufficient. Match operating speed to con-
ditions.
Do not change settings of governor. High
engine speed increases risk of accidents.
Working Area and Danger
Zone
The user is liable to third parties working
within the machine’s working range.
Staying in the danger zone is not permit-
ted.
Check the immediate surroundings of the
machine before you start it. Watch out for
children and animals.
Before you start work, clear the area from
any foreign object. During operation, al-
ways watch out for further objects and re-
move them in time.
For operation in enclosed areas, ensure
that a safety distance is kept to enclosures
to prevent damage to tools.
Operation and
Safety Devices
Before Starting the Engine
Become familiar with the devices and opera-
ting elements and their functions. Above all, learn
how to shut off the engine quickly and safely in
an emergency situation.
Ensure that all protective devices are
mounted and positioned to provide pro-
tection.
With no implement mounted, make sure
PTO-shaft is covered with the protective
cap.
Starting the Engine
Do not start engine in closed rooms. The car-
bon monoxide contained in the exhaust fume
is extremely toxic when inhaled.
Before you start the engine set all operating
elements to neutral or idling position.
For starting the engine, do not step in front
of the machine.
Do not use assist-starting liquids when
using electrical assist-starting devices
(jumper cable). Danger of explosion.
Operation
Never leave the operators position at the
steering handle while weed brush is at
work.
Never adjust the operating handles dur-
ing work – danger!
For all works with the weed brush, in par-
ticular for turning, the machine operator
must keep the distance to the machine
given by the steering handles.
Riding on the implement during operation
or in transport is not permitted.
Switch off the power take-off when trans-
porting.
If clogging occurs in the implement, shut
off the engine and clean the implement
with an appropriate tool.
In case of damage to the weed brush, im-
mediately shut off the engine and have it
repaired.
If steering causes problems, immediately
bring the weed brush to a halt and turn it
off. Have the malfunction removed without
delay.
To prevent the machine from sliding on slo-
pes make sure it is secured by another
person using a bar or a rope. This person
must stay at a higher position than the
vehicle and at a safe distance from the
attachment at work.
If possible, always work across the slope.
End of Operation
Never leave the weed brush unattended
with the engine running.
Before you leave the machine, shut off the
engine. Then close fuel taps.
Secure the machine against unauthorized
use. If the machine is equipped with star-
ter key, remove the key. For all other versi-
ons, remove spark plug connector.
Implements
Only mount implements with the engine
and the attachment drive shut off.
Always use appropriate tools and wear
gloves when changing implements and
parts thereof.
For mounting and dismounting implements
bring stand into proper position and ensu-
re stability.
Secure base machine and implements
against rolling off (parking brake, wheel
chocks).
Beware of injuries while coupling imple-
ments. Work with particular care.
Hitch implements as specified and only
couple at specified points.
Secure weed brush against unauthorized
use and rolling off when you leave the ma-
chine. If necessary, install transport or se-
curity devices and secure.
Observe the advice for blocking the over-
drive as shown in the operating instruc-
tions for the base machine.
Weed brush
When working, attention should be paid
to the correct alignment of the front
wheels.
During operation the protection liners
must be folded down to protect against
the rotating brushes and any material
which is thrown out of the machine.
The protection liners may only be raised
in exceptional situations, such as if the
machine is operated next to walls or at a
kerbside.
When operating the weed remover at
kerbs etc. with the protection liners rai-
sed there is a danger of injury through
material which is thrown out of the ma-
chine. Therefore protective clothing and
safety glasses must be worn.
Maintenance
Never carry out any maintenance or clean-
ing with the engine running.
Before you work on the engine, on the
tools, or on the weed brush, always remo-
ve spark plug connector or starter key.
Check regularly and, if necessary, replace
all protecting devices and tools subject to
wear and tear.
Replace damaged tools.
Always wear safety gloves and use proper
tools when exchanging tools.
Keep the machine and implement clean
to avoid risk of fire.
The technical information, illustrations and measures given in these instructions
are not binding. Claims of any kind cannot be derived from them.

After mounting place the parking support
in a fully retracted position.
3.3 Setting of brush height
The brushes can be mounted on the brush shaft at 3 height settings using the linch pin and
the cross holes on the shaft and on the brush hub:
1 for new brushes where 10" tyres are used on the prime mover unit
2 for new brushes where 12" tyres are used on the prime mover unit and for worn brushes
with 10" tyres
3 worn brushes with 12" tyres
W
Wear gloves always when carrying out work on the brushes.
3.4 Setting of the downforce
The downforce of the brushes on the area worked upon and an incline for working on kerbs
can be set by adjusting the height of the front wheels.
The height adjustment is made by turning the crank.
Setting of the brushes for working on normal surfaces
For working on areas fully covered with wild plants the brushes should be turned down and to
the front by a distance of approx. 2-3 cm. Where the brushes are worn adjust the brush
height as given in Chap. 3.3.
When working on such fully covered areas turn the front wheels upwards according to the
nature of the area and the machine will then be positioned with its dead weight on the brushes.
Setting of the brushes for kerbs
The machine should be in a slightly inclined position above the front wheels for working on
kerbs.
Lower the front wheel
so far that the brush does no longer lies on the area opposite the
kerbs
Turn the front wheel
so high that the machine sits on the brushes in the kerb area.
3.5 Protection liners
The protection liners must be folded down to avoid the danger of flying objects and from
the rotating brushes.
The protection liners
may only be raised in exceptional situations
such as when working along walls or kerbs.
W
When the weed brush is being used on kerbs etc. with the protection liners
raised there is a danger from flying items. Therefore protective clothing and
safety glasses must be worn.
New brushes the protection liners
should be mounted using the lower holes on the joint
. Where the brushes are partially worn the protection liners should be mounted in the
upper holes.
Raising of the protection liners
Pull out the spring cotter pin
, raise the protection liner and lock it in position by putting
the spring cotter pin through the two holes.
The protection liners are lowered in a similar manner.
3.6 Distance of brushes
By moving both of the angular gears in conjunction with the shorter V-belts (102852), the
forming of striped patterns as a result of brush wear when working on open surfaces can be
avoided.
The exchanging of the V-belts and adjustment of the angled gears is carried out as for
tightening of the V-belts Chap. 5.2.
