6.3 Adjusting the rake teeth.
The Votex FLV is supplied with the adjustable rake teeth as a standard feature.
These teeth ensure a better pickup of prunings, trimmings and wood wildshoots.
Since the teeth are inclined forwardly, they bring plant growth up which is then hit by
the hammers. (see figure 6.3.1) As a result, the hammers need not be adjusted very
low above the ground, thus extending the life of the hammers. In addition, the rake
teeth prevent prunings that are too big from being hurled out of the shredder.
Adjust the rake teeth so that they almost touch the ground.
When mowing grass with the machine, you must put the teeth upwards or remove
them entirely. You can adjust the height of the rake teeth by placing the split pin into
another hole. (see figure 6.3.1.2)

Vibrations in the machine.
When during operations there is a clearly noticeable increase in vibrations in the
shredder or change in sound produced by the shredder, then stop operations
immediately, locate the cause and eliminate it (see 7.1.) before continuing the work!
