Hazard warnings
 When pivoting the weed brush always ensure that no one is in the danger zone of
the weed brush – DANGER OF INJURY
 The depth adjustment of the brush must be selected with the utmost precision to
prevent damage of the substrate, the vehicle, and of the machine.
 For carrier vehicles that with the lift device can not only LOWER but also can
PRESS, you must ensure that when working, the lift device never presses the
weed brush on the ground – this would cause an extreme accident hazard. By
offloading the axles the ability to steer the carrier vehicles is restricted. The vehicle
must have a float position installed on the lift device, the float position must be
switched on while clearing weeds, to prevent vehicle and machine damage.
 If the weed brush should be deployed on a hard substrate under particularly dry
weather conditions, sparking is possible. Therefore the possibility if igniting dry
vegetation is present. Water the area to be processed before use.
3
Task and use
In conjunction with a tractor the weed brush is used to remove weeds from streets and
paths.
The implement is mounted on the tractor as a front attachment, and is driven by the
tractor via a PTO shaft. The brush pivots hydraulically beyond the width of the tractor.
The brush head can be hydraulically and/or mechanically adjusted.

hydraulic system is necessary. Only use the universal joint shaft provided by the
manufacturer.
Depending on tractor type the supplied universal joint shaft may be too long. In this case,
execute the steps described below to shorten the universal joint shaft.

Attention!
Damage can occur to the attached implement or on the tractor.
Only use the provided universal joint shaft.


Operation
Attention!
Before starting up the implement, read the instructions on safety and
handling for operation of the entire implement and connection to the tractor.

Note!
A weed brush that is adjusted too tightly does not provide any better
sweeping results.

Weeds on streets, streamlets, and paths can be removed with the weed brush.

Correct adjustment of the weed brush is part of proper operation. If the machine is
adjusted too high, the surface will not be effectively cleaned. However if the weed
brush is adjusted too low, the machine has excessive ground pressure and thus it
can be damaged. The brush height is adjusted via the support wheel that also
runs on the ground in use. The support wheel must be adjusted in such a manner
that when the machine is lowered the brush touches the ground with a defined
pressure. Because the brush is a wear part, its setting must be checked and
adjusted before each use.
6.1
Attaching the weed brush
1. Approach the brush with the carrier vehicle.
2. Lift out the brush with the lift mechanism. Ensure that the coupling triangle is correctly
locked in place.
3. Now switch off the engine, depressurize the hydraulic circuits for operation of the
weed brush, and properly bring the vehicle to a standstill
4. Then secure the coupling triangle with the screw, connect the hydraulic lines and
universal joint shaft.
5. Fix the support foot in place in the highest position
6.2
Adjusting the weed brush

Note!
At each re-attachment on a tractor and each re-adjustment of the brush
pressure, the inclination must be re-adjusted.

6.2.1
Adjusting the inclination of the weed brush
The weed brush must be aligned horizontally to the ground. The inclination of the
machine can be adjusted via the top link on the front power system. When the caster is
vertical to the ground, inclination of the machine is correctly set.
Page 21
Operation
Top link
Fig. 20: Adjusting the inclination of the weed brush
6.2.2
Maximum brush pressure
The maximum pressure of the brush on the substrate must be selected in such a manner
that when the tractor is at a standstill with the weed brush in float position, a pressure of
15 kg is in effect. Brush pressure in excess of this range causes increased wear of the
brush. The brush pressure is changed by adjusting the height of the support wheels.
(Chapter 6.2.4)
6.2.3
Adjusting the debris collection cloth
The spray cloth must always be adjusted in accordance with the adjustment of the brush
plate. Contact with the brush should be avoided in operation. The cloth directs the
sweepings.
On flat terrain the spray cloth should be placed all the way down, however with a minimal
free passage.
On uneven terrain there should be distance between terrain and cloth of 5-10 cm. Thus
unnecessary wear is avoided.
Page 22
Operation
6.2.4
Adjusting the height of the support wheel
Note!
Adjust the support wheel in such a manner that in working position the
brush touches the ground with a defined pressure.


Pivot the weed brush inward, i.e. the weed brush must be aligned straight in the
vehicle direction.
By turning the top link or activating the cylinders, align the brush of the weed brush
unit in such a manner that when lowering the brush it rests full surface on the
ground.
Lower the weed brush far enough that the brush rests full surface on the ground.
Bring the support foot of the weed brush into position and fix it in place
Switch off the engine, depressurize the hydraulic circuits for operation of the weed
brush, and properly park the vehicle.
The machine is uncoupled in the reverse sequence of the procedure described for
attachment

Working with the weed brush
Attention!
Before each use, check to ensure that the support wheel is correctly
adjusted, see section 6.2.4 in this regard.
Only operate the weed brush from the driver seat of the tractor.

Attention!
Third persons can be injured and objects can be damaged. When clearing
weeds, the brush throws rocks or similar items forward. Consequently,
always maintain an adequate distance to persons who could be injured or
objects that could be damaged.
The manufacture accepts no liability in such cases of injury or damage.

Attention!
The weed brush must only be operated on a lift mechanism with float
position. The vehicle can become unsteerable. Vehicle and machine can be
damaged.

Before each use the adjustment must be checked and corrected if necessary. In this
process, the weed brush is adjusted to the implementation site and to the surface and
ground conditions that will be processed.
1. Pivot the weed brush into the outer-most position.
2. Adjust the brush head to the desired diagonal position with the angle adjustment
element.
3. Lower the weed brush.
4. Always place the hydraulic system for lowering the machine in float position.
5. Switch on the brush.
6. Drive forward at a slow speed.

6.5
Brush replacement
If the desired clearing pattern can no longer be set, the brush should be replaced
(chapter 7.2.5). The greater the wear on the brush, the greater the danger of collision with
the belt drive cover and walls.
6.6
rpm
The weed brush is factory tailored to the carrier vehicle. Only a low rotational speed is
required for brush operation. Higher rotational speeds only increase the wear and do not
improve the result.
