2.1 General description of weed brush
The weed brush consists of a steel construction with an angular gear, on which the tool holder
- also known as the brush plate (1:B) - is mounted. The brush plate can be fitted with a tufted
brush edging (1:C) or with braided wire rope. The rotation of the brush plate and the propulsion
of the carrier vehicle scrape the weeds out of gaps and they are collected by a guard (1:E)
(1:D) attached to the side.
2.2 Mounting on carrier vehicle
The weed brush is mounted on the lifting struts (3:O) of the carrier vehicle. It is securely
connected on each lifting strut with two bolts, as shown in the figure (4:P).

3.1 Important information for initial start-up
•
The carrier vehicle is not equipped with a rev counter. To ensure that the maximum drive shaft
speed of 1,600 rpm is not exceeded, the adhesive label supplied (13:K) must be attached on
the side next to the throttle lever (13:L). Taking into account the transmission ratio, this
corresponds to a brush plate speed of around 300 rpm.
•
The adhesive label should be attached as shown in Figure 13. To make it easier to attach, the
length of the adhesive label matches the length of the slot for the throttle lever.
Ensure careful attachment to ensure that the speed does not fall below or exceed the
specified level.
•
The adhesive label (13:K) is part of the machine's safety equipment. Operating the
attachment without it is strictly prohibited.
3.2 Mechanical coupling
•
Observe the information from the carrier vehicle operating manual.
•
When coupling there is a risk of injury, e.g. due to crushing. Exceptional care is required.
•
The procedure for coupling the attachment is as follows:
1. Lower the lifting struts and move the carrier vehicle slowly towards the attachment in
a straight line.
2. Open the viewing panel on the base (2:N) and observe carefully to make sure the
lifting struts engage in the holding pockets (3:O). Also ensure that the shaft (4:Q) is in
the correct position.
3. When the fastening holes are aligned, a large and a small locking bolt are inserted
and secured with a cotter pin (4:P).
4. Push the drive shaft onto the splined shaft on the carrier vehicle and secure the chain
on the carrier machine (5:R) to prevent the shaft guard from turning with the shaft.
5. Raise the attachment and move the supports to the upper end position.
6. Hook up the electrical connection to the carrier vehicle.
