Vibrations may travel up into the handle during use. We therefore recommend taking a break, every 2 hours. Operating the machine Remove all foreign objects from the work area before using the machine. Stones, glass, branches and similar items may damage the machine. Also check the bolts are tightened. Start the motor as per the instructions above. Stand clear of the machine’s moving parts. Never attempt to move the machine in any way other than intended for normal use while the motor is running. KEEP A SAFETY DISTANCE OF 15 METERS. The machine can work on all types of flat surfaces and remove weeds between tiles or edges. Note that the brushes may sweep stones or other objects away at high speed, so do not drive close to cars and other items that could be damaged. Brushes can scratch and damage some tiles. Therefore, run a small test before using the machine. Always have the protection frame attached during use.13

Adjustment of the height Follow the adjustment procedure as shown in Fig. 10+11. It is possible to adjust the height on the brush head down in several positions as the brushes get worn. To adjust the height, you have to loosen the two 4 mm allen screws shown in Fig. 10. Then you can adjust the brush head up and down. Tighten both screws again once the wanted height is chosen. Make sure to adjust the protection frame upwards too as the brushes get worn and when the brush head is adjusted down. Or else the rubber cover will be damaged. See Fig. 11. Cleaning The machine should be cleaned after use. Use a garden hose to wash off soil and dirt. The chassis number should only be cleaned with a damp cloth to avoid unnecessary wear. Avoid using a high-pressure washer during cleaning. Changing the oil The oil should initially be changed after the first 5 hours of use, and thereafter once per year. Use an oil extractor kit.

1. Suck the oil up through the oil filler hole using the

syringe. Use the hose to reach the sump.
