Detaching
•
For more information, please refer to the operating manual for the carrier vehicle.
•
When uncoupling there is a risk of injury, e.g. due to crushing. Particular caution must be
exercised.
•
The procedure for uncoupling the attachment is as follows:
1. Raise the attachment and move the supports to the lower end position.
2. Detach the chain from the shaft guard on the carrier machine and disconnect the
shaft.
3. Lower the attachment and stop the motor.
4. Release any excess pressure in the hydraulic system by moving all hydraulic controls
back and forth.
5. Disconnect the hydraulic hoses and fit the protective covers on the couplings.
6. Remove the locking bolts and slowly reverse away.

Operation
5.1 General
•
Never start the leaf blower suddenly. When starting the leaf blower, keep the motor speed low
and then steadily increase the speed.
•
The rotatable air scoop can be hydraulically rotated 360 degrees (figure 10). The air scoop is
controlled by the valve lever (11:P) on the carrier vehicle. To ensure that the hydraulic auxiliary
drive is actuated and not the lifting struts, the top button (11:O) on the valve lever must be
pressed and held down while operating the valve lever.
5.2 Adjusting the Working Height
•
The distance between the discharge air scoop and the ground can be adjusted from 5 cm to
13 cm. The distance is adjusted by adding and removing spacer bushings (12:T) at the wheel
forks (12:U) in increments of 10 mm or 20 mm. To adjust the working height, proceed as
follows:
1. Raise the attachment.
2. Remove the retractable pin (12:S).
3. Pull wheel fork (12:U) down and out.
4. Add spacer bushings to or remove spacer bushings from the wheel fork shaft.
5. Refit the wheel fork and secure in place with the retractable pin.
•
An insufficient distance between the air scoop and ground increases the risk of collision. The
working height must be adjusted to local conditions.
5.3 Travel Speed
•
The travel speed depends on the amount and nature of the leaves. If possible, drive at the
maximum motor speed. The higher the motor speed, the greater the airflow rate and the
associated area covered.
