7. Connection to the tractor
•
Before starting the machine and the tractor, check road and operating safety!
•
Persons must never be allowed to stand between the tractor and the attachment unit without having secured the vehicle against rolling away by means of the locking brake and / or wheel chocks!
•
Before attaching and removing the unit on the three-point suspension, place the operating device in the position in which unintentional lifting and lowering are excluded!
•
Never stay in the rotating and pivoting area of the unit!
•
Adjust the working position (inclination) of the machine using the compression link (Fig. 1). In working direction, the machine should be tilted forward by about 2-3 cm!
•
In the transport position of the unit, sufficient lateral locking of the tractor three-point suspension has to be ensured in order to avoid lateral swing-out of the machine!

8. Connecting the universal joint shaft
•
When the unit has been coupled to the tractor, check the exact length of the universal joint shaft.
Very important: Highest possible overlapping has to be aimed at.
During operation, the maximum extension of the joint shaft should be half the sliding profile overlapping (Fig. 2). When connecting to different tractors the length has to be checked again!

(standard equipment includes shear pins Fig. 4)
•
This tractor symbol indicates the tractor side of the joint shaft.
Always attach the overload protection on machine side!
•
Lubricate the universal joint shaft before starting up, see lubrication plan! (Fig. 5)
Fig. 5
•
Attach the holding chain so that a sufficient pivoting area of the universal joint shaft is guaranteed in all operating positions.
Never use the holding chain to suspend the universal joint shaft!
•
For your own safety, replace the safety devices if they are damaged or worn. When the machine is not in use, the universal joint shaft can be hung in the bracket provided for protection!
•
Make sure that when you mount the universal joint shaft on the machine, the unit protective cover overlaps the joint shaft protection in all operating positions!
16 - 24 04.11.2004 / 01
9. Adjustment / brush selection
Using the full working width:
When using the full working width of the machine, the support wheels will be completely turned upwards. The machine will then rest completely on the brushes (Fig. 6). If required, it is possible to mount weights in order to increase the brush pressure on the paved surface.
Additional weight

Brush selection
For working in full working width, braided brushes (Fig. 8) have to be mounted.
Fig. 8
Fig. 9
For working exclusively on kerbstone edges, we recommend using the kerbstone holder (Fig. 9, special equipment ) especially designed for this purpose.
To attach the special kerbstone holder, first remove the right or left outer brush holder and replace it with the special kerbstone holder.
In this case, the adjacent brush holder must be removed as well!
18 - 24 04.11.2004 / 01
10. Maintenance
Steps to be carried out in order to maintain the machine in good working condition:
•
Check the correct connection of the universal joint shaft and the safety devices.
•
Lubricate the universal joint shaft (see Fig. 5) before start-up and every 8 operating hours with proprietary grease and check the smooth run of the sliding profiles. In winter, the protective tubes have to be greased additionally in order to avoid freezing.
•
Check the level of liquid grease in the gear casing via the corresponding plug (Fig. 10). This operation must be carried out with the machine in horizontal position and after the machine has already been running for a few minutes, thus warming the grease and distributing it evenly. Then check the grease level with a dipstick (grease level should be 2.5 cm). If necessary, top up lubricating grease.

Check whether the lower plates of the special holder have been tightened, and, if necessary, retighten the screws. Check whether the brush holders have been mounted correctly.
Replace damaged screws immediately! (See chapter:
"11. Replacement of the brushes”)
20 - 24 04.11.2004 / 01
11. Replacement of the brushes
To replace the brushes, raise the machine by means of the supporting wheels as far as possible so that the brushes do no longer touch the ground. Take out the brush holders towards the bottom, after having removed the linch pins, and exchange brushes outside the machine.
Attention! Never lie under the not-secured machine when changing the brushes!
When replacing the lower plates, make sure that the lock nuts engage firmly in the recesses, to prevent them from turning and getting damaged when loosening or tightening the screws.
Note: Damaged screws should be replaced. (Only use original screws!)
