3.3.2 Configurations 
 
The GS 0850 has two different settings. The right setting will result in an optimum 
sweeping result.  
First of all, the distance between the brush and the surface to be swept can be 
adjusted: the brush height-setting. 
Secondly, it is possible to place the brush slantwise in relation to the direction of 
movement. When no collection hopper is used, a larger surface can be cleaned. 
 
3.3.3 Brush height setting 
 
The height can be adjusted by using the turning handles (see Illustration 1). With 
these turning handles it is possible to adjust the height of the furrow wheels. With an 
optimum setting, the sweeping surface of the brush has a width of approx. 40 mm.  
Indicated by the black arrow (         Illustration 1).   
 
The turning handles must be turned on both sides to adjust the height of the brush 
equally.
