INTENDED USE The Tined Weeder Pro VS 600 M1 to VS 1200 M1 is designed and built for use in agricultural operations. Its tines penetrate in the soil and loosen it, and where applicable, remove any existing weeds.
The implement may not be folded when the tines are pre-tensioned. When the tines are set down on the ground, the pre-tension may not be reduced when the implement is at a standstill. This is not a problem while driving forwards. Intended use also includes compliance with the conditions for operation, maintenance, and repairs prescribed by the manufacturer.
Never leave the driver's platform while driving! The driving behaviour, steering and braking capacity are affected by mounted or towed implements and ballast weights. For this reason, always ensure sufficient steering and braking capacity! When driving in curves, take account of the wide radius and/or the centrifugal mass of the implement (pay attention to the minimum turning curve)! ...
When changing working tools with sharp edges, always use suitable tools and cut-resistant gloves! Replacing components that cannot be removed with tools such as a screwdriver or wrench may only be replaced by qualified specialist personnel from an appropriately authorised company or by APV Customer Service. ...
It is strictly forbidden to stand on the platform or its access ladder while driving. When not in use, the ladder must be folded up and secured. An ascent must be established conforming to the standards. This ascent is available from APV. 5.7.1 FILLING THE SEEDER ...
INFORMATION SIGNS / HAZARD LABELS Pay special attention to the stickers on the implement, as they warn you of specific dangers! INFORMATION SIGNS Standing in the danger Always lift the Read and observe the Do not stand on the zone (swivelling range) implement slowly off operating manual before implement while...
HAZARD LABELS Caution, crushing area! Never reach into the crushing danger zone as long as the parts can still move! OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS MOUNTING ON THE TRACTOR Under difficult operating conditions, additional wheel weights can be useful. Please also refer to the operating manual from the tractor manufacturer.
SAFE PARKING The parking surface must be suitable for parking the implement. The ground must be firm and level, so that the stands do not sink in and the harrow does not roll away. To ensure safe parking of the implement, lower the stands at the rear of the harrow.
CAUTION! The tines may be pre-tensioned only when the Tined Weeder Pro is unfolded. During the folding procedure, first the outer side frame is folded by 180° onto the inner frame, which is then folded up by 90°. If the implement is unfolded into working position, the hydraulic control units and/or the double-acting hydraulic control units must be moved to the "N - neutral"...

The higher the feeler wheels are moved up in the frame, the smaller the distance between the frame and the ground and the steeper the position of the tine ends relative to the ground. To set all of the feeler wheels, including those at the rear, to the same height, the same number of holes must be visible above the bracket on all of the feeler wheels.
HYDRAULIC TINE ADJUSTMENT The tines are adjusted with multiple hydraulic cylinders connected in parallel. This allows the tine pre- tension to be changed while driving. All of the hydraulic cylinders (Figure 13) are connected by an oil circuit. Adjustments are made using a double-acting control unit and the flow divider on the centre frame (Figure 14).
The manufacturer is not liable for any unauthorised modifications to the implement and the use of components and auxiliary parts on the implement that were not purchased from APV. Before every operation, check the hydraulic hose lines for wear, damage and ageing. Damaged or faulty parts must be immediately replaced.
PLEASE NOTE! When the implement is lifted off of the ground, the two side wings of the frame should be pointing slightly down. If this is not the case or if the wings are pointing down too much, the stop bolts on the joint must be adjusted.
1. Step Unlock the snap-fits on one side of the spring assembly. To do so, press from the side in the hole in the spring assembly with a bolt or a pin (8 mm diameter) – as shown in Figure 20 – until the pins touch.
CAUTION! Only tighten the nut far enough so that the washers are resting on the spring assembly. In no case should a gap be produced between the half shells due to excessive tightening. REPAIRS AND SERVICE In case of failure or damage to the implement, please contact the manufacturer. The contact data can be found in chapter 3.

Now enter the calculated actual rear axle load and the permissible rear axle load specified in the tractor operating manual in the table under Point 12.3. Tyre load capacity: Enter the doubled value (two tyres) for the permissible tyre load capacity (see e.g. tyre manufacturer documents) in the table under Point 12.3.
DECOMMISSIONING, STORAGE AND DISPOSAL 14.1 DECOMMISSIONING THE IMPLEMENT To ensure that the implement remains fully functional, even if it is out of operation for longer periods of time, it is important to take precautions for storage: To do so, observe Point 7.2. 14.2 STORAGE OF THE IMPLEMENT ...
Important prerequisites are a level seedbed, sufficiently deep seed placement, uniform germination, loose soil surface, few tracks, and suitable weather conditions. A missed harrowing pass can NOT be performed at a later date. Harrowing does not have a lasting effect => several consecutive work passes must be coordinated. ...
16.4 PLATFORM KIT FOR THE TINED WEEDER For easier maintenance of the pneumatic seeder PS 120 M1 - PS 500 M2, a suitable platform kit is available as an accessory. Please note that it must be mounted in compliance with the standards. Order number: ...
16.8 REAR FEELER WHEELS In order to improve the guidance of the harrow along the ground, height- adjustable feeler wheels can be used at the rear. The feeler wheels are mounted on a crossbeam and can therefore be infinitely variably adjusted to the track width.
16.12 ADDITIONAL WEIGHTS ACCESSORIES Under extremely hard soil conditions, the additional weights can be installed on the outer side frame of the VS1200 to improve the harrowing results. Order number: 07014-2-567 Figure 49 16.13 PROTECTIVE STICKER FOR PS500 HOPPER When a PS500 is mounted on the VS1200, the protective stickers are required to protect the hopper from damage during road transport.
