5.1 Intended use The Tined Weeder Pro VS 150 M1 or VS 300 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 manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from unauthorised modifications and the use of components and auxiliary parts. 5.2 General safety-related instructions and accident prevention regulations The operator must read and understand this operating manual before using the harrow. ...
Working under the implement is forbidden. The implements must be checked regularly by the operator (before every use) for any fractures and cracks, chafe marks, leaks, loose bolts and connections, vibrations, unusual sounds, and to ensure they function correctly. ...
The maintenance work itself may only be performed by trained specialist personnel and may never be performed alone. Extreme caution must be taken when changing defective components or tools. To reduce the risk of injuries, a clearly visible and legible sign "Caution: Maintenance work" must be placed during maintenance work.

7.2 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.

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.
7.5 Hydraulic tine adjustment The tines are adjusted with one hydraulic cylinder (VS 150 M1) or with two hydraulic cylinders connected in parallel (VS 300 M1). This allows the tine pre-tension to be changed while driving. All of the hydraulic cylinders (Figure 9) are connected by an oil circuit.
4) The rotating feeler wheels to be used are inserted in the brackets. 5) When all of the rotating feeler wheels are installed at the desired positions, the Tined Weeder Pro is safely parked and uncoupled from the tractor according to 7.2. 6) In the next step, the headstock is dismounted.
After cleaning, lubricate all of the grease points and distribute the grease evenly in the bearing points (e.g. perform a short test run). Do not use a high pressure cleaner to clean bearing and hydraulic parts. The paint can be damaged by cleaning with excessive pressure. ...

Information on nature conservation and environmental protection Reduction of noise pollution during use Any loose parts (e.g. chains) should be attached to prevent unnecessary noise. Energy-efficient use The tines of the Tined Weeder Pro should not penetrate into the soil deeper than necessary. By doing so, the towing vehicle is not unnecessarily strained and fuel can be saved.

Cropping tips for using the Tined Weeder Pro The Tined Weeder Pro's mode of action mainly consists of burying and uprooting the weeds and crumbling the soil surface. It also stimulates tillering in cereals. Compared to hoeing machines, the Tined Weeder Pro has two major benefits: It operates in a row-independent manner and has a comparatively high area efficiency.
Accessories Tines with carbide coating To reduce tine wear, the VS 150 M1 / VS 300 M1 can be equipped with tines with carbide soldered on. Endurance tests show that these tines are worn much more slowly. This extends the service life of the tines until they need to be replaced considerably.
