_______________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Senior 10.4 Working with the machine 10.4.1 Coupling the cardan shaft between the tractor and the machine DANGER! Apply the tractor parking break, switch off the tractor engine and take the tractor ignition key from the lock.
Page 58
_______________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Senior 10.4.2 Coupling the hydraulic quick-connect couplings to the tractor WARNING! First switch off the hydraulic control valve of the tractor, then move the three control levers of the machine back and forth a number of times before connecting or disconnecting the hydraulic quick-connect couplings of the machine to/from the tractor.

_______________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Senior 10.4.3 Connecting (electrically) and mounting the rear lighting beam (Only when using public roads) Mount the lighting beam on the machine. Insert the machine plug into the tractor outlet. Check the correct operation of the lighting beam.
Page 63
_______________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Senior CAREFUL The first operating lever must not be operated simultaneously with the other operating levers. Switch on the hydraulic control valve of the tractor. Fold out the bottom guide arm section by pulling the hydraulic operating lever (fig.
Page 64
_______________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Senior Put the top roller bend or the extension (fig. 50 pt. 12) on the end of the guide arm and fasten it. If the extension is placed on the guide arm, the adapter must be removed first (fig.
Page 65
_______________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Senior lever (fig. 56D) left/right lever (fig. 56E) forward/backward If the drainpipe is under water, positioning the roller bend requires more attention. Slew the guide arm to the left or to the right if the roller bend cannot be placed in front of the drainpipe.
Page 66
_______________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Senior Check that the lever on the left (fig. 56A) is in its central position. Put the speed control valve (fig. 56F) fully open. Push the lever on the left (fig. 56A) forward. Turn the speed control valve (fig. 56F) slowly clockwise (never shut it!) Feed the flushing hose up to 2 metres into the drainpipe.
Page 67
_______________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Senior CAREFUL Do not activate the cardan shaft or the water pump when it can reasonably be expected that the water in the pump is frozen. Switch on the cardan shaft (tractor). Set the cardan shaft speed. About 400 rpm (tractor).
Page 68
_______________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Senior CAREFUL The water pressure must never exceed 5MPa (50 bar). Set the cardan shaft speed to achieve the smallest possible water flow from the overflow hose. That saves energy. Make sure that the pressure indicated on the pressure gauge (see fig.
Page 69
_______________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Senior Note the hydraulic system pressure on the top pressure gauge (see fig. 50 pt. 22 and fig. 57). The pressure slowly increases as the flushing hose goes further into the drainpipe. The pressure must never exceed 90 bar. If the pressure does get higher, the flushing hose will be damaged by the drive wheels.
Page 71
_______________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Senior 10.4.6 Feeding out the flushing hose from the drainpipe (reeling in) HINT! Be sure to reel in the flushing hose as clean as possible to prevent slip and drive problems with the flushing hose. Proceed as follows to achieve this: WARNING! The water pressure must never exceed 5MPa (50 bar).
Page 72
_______________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Senior Make sure the drive wheels do not slip on the flushing hose. That could damage the flushing hose. When the drive wheels are slipping, the drive speed is too high. Note de metres counter to know when the flushing hose has reached the start of the drainpipe (feeding out 300 m takes 15 min.!).
Page 73
_______________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Senior 10.4.7 Preparing the machine for transport on public roads Observe all safety instructions as described in the safety chapter of this user manual and ensure that the flushing hose is fully retracted between the rubber wheels as described above.
