Brush Kit; Dual Wheel Kit - Redexim Turf Tidy 1500 Operating And Parts Manual

13.3 BRUSH KIT.

The Turf Tidy can also be used as a sweeper. A brush kit is necessary to transfer the unit into
a sweeper unit.
Sweeping can be done on grass or hard surfaces.
With grass sweeping, we advise using the standard rear roller 10 ( fig.7.). If we want to
sweep hard areas, the wheel assembly is needed. The rear roller 10 with the rear roller
scraper 6 (fig.7.) have to be removed and the wheel shaft with wheels have to be mounted in
holes 7 (fig.7.).
If the wheels are used on grass, undulations and/ or soft areas may create extra pressure on
the brushes, since the head isn't at a fixed distance to the ground all the time.
It is also important that the weight compensation is well set, chapter 5.3, because too much
pressure on the brushes will hurt them.
The PTO speed has to come down to 300-400 rpm's, since too many rpm's may hurt / wear
the turf and/ or brushes.
The brushes are mounted on the separate lugs 17 into holes 22.
The other hole can be used if we want to create extra draft in combination with scarifier
blades. Mount only two brushes against each other on the rotor into hole 21.
Brush element 10 is clamped between two back up strips 12 and 13, with bolts 11 and nut 15.
Some of these bolts go through the lugs 14, others only clamp the two back up strips together.
The two back up strips 12 and 13 are different. One has only one bent (13) the other has two
(12). Be sure the brush element lays against the bolts 11. Do not over tighten.
We can use 2 or 4 brush assembly elements on the rotor. Never use one or three, because the
rotor will be out of balance.
@ If the brushes are set too tight to the ground, serious damage may appear to the
machine and/ or brushes.
@ If many undulations are present, reduce the rpm's of the PTO and adjust the working
depth ( brushes further away from the ground).
@ If you want to collect leaves or other larger parts on grass surfaces, scarifier blades
can be added to the brushes ( two rows opposite from each other), or two brushes can be
added at the scarifier outfit ( brushes in hole 21). In both cases the heavy material will be
picked up and/ or shredded by the scarifier blades and sweeped by the brushes.
@ In some applications, plain flail blades can be used in stead of the scarifier blades to
achieve the same as written above. Check the correct depth settings.

14.0 DUAL WHEEL KIT.

The Turf Tidy can be equipped with dual wheels at the back for less imprints on the turf, see
fig. 11. A dual wheel kit is available that fits the standard wheel.
Before mounting the dual wheels, be sure that:
•
Tractor engine is shut off.
•
The Turf Tidy is well supported and lifted from the ground at the wheel side
•
The whole machine is well blocked against any movement
