    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.
  • Page 7: General Safety-Related Instructions And Accident Prevention Regulations

     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.
  • Page 8: Mounted Implements

     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)! ...

    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.
  • Page 13: Safe Parking

    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.
  • Page 14: Working Position And Setting The Working Depth

    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"...
  • Page 15 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.
  • Page 16: Hydraulic Tine Adjustment

    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).
  • Page 17: Maintenance And Care

     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.
  • Page 18: Tine Change

    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.
  • Page 20: Repairs And Service

    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.
