Page 39: The Mower Unit
The mower unit The mower unit The Groundkeeper / HorseHopper is equipped with a flail-type mower unit. In this type, cutting tools are suspended freely on a large- diameter tube. When the rotor starts to turn, the centrifugal force moves the mowing and scarifying blades into an upright position which causes them to engage with and mow the material below. - Page 40 50 % 100 % 100 % 50 % 100 % 100 % Mowing Scarifying Scarifying Wing blade, Wing blade, Wing blade, blade blade blade long, H77 long, H77 long, H60 ground ground ground (2 mm) (3 mm) sharpened Piece Piece Piece Pair Pair...

Page 45: Mowing
The mower unit • Fold up intermediate hood and secure with retaining bolts (Fig 6.1-6/1). Mowing The cutting tools described above are designed for mowing or scarify- ing. The working speed depends on the density and humidity of the turf and must be adapted to the conditions. The maximum speed of the PTO shaft (540 rpm) must be observed. -
Page 46: Scarifying
Scarifying Scarifying is usually carried out at the start or end of the vegetation period. It is possible to clean and aerate turf containing thatch and moss by simultaneously mowing, scarifying and collecting in one operation. To do this, straight scarifying blades are mounted between the curved pairs of mowing blades. - Page 47 The mower unit GH 1500 GH 1800 • Narrow scarifying, blade spacing 17 mm All clip bolts on the rotor must be fitted with scarifying blades. This type of scarifying is relatively aggressive and is suitable for restorative work on heavily thatched turf (moss) in the spring. CAUTION 1.

Page 48: Mulching
Mulching If the surface is only to be mowed and the cuttings pulverised then deposited immediately, the mulch flap can be closed. To set the flap, the actuating lever is swung downwards (Fig. 6.4-1) and secured in the locking slot provided. Control stalk in horizontal position = collecting (Fig. -
Page 49: Collecting
The mower unit Collecting Due to the strong suction effect of the rotor, the machine can also be used to collect grass that has already been mowed, or other loose material. The material is then lifted up by air suction, chopped to smaller pieces by the rotating blades and conveyed through the chute to the hopper. -
Page 50: Emptying The Hopper
Emptying the hopper The machine is initially raised by the tractor's three-point hydraulic system. The hopper is then opened about its rotary axes by the later- ally-mounted cylinders which causes the cuttings to slide downwards and land on the ground. Always drive with great care if the hopper is open. - Page 51 The mower unit The opening procedure of the hopper should take at least 8 seconds. This opening speed can be adjusted via the integrated check valve (Fig. 6.6-1 and 6.6-2) mounted at the front next to the angular gear- box. Groundkeeper GH / HH SMARTCUT BAF0005.4 06.21...

Page 52: Adjusting The Cutting Height
Adjusting the cutting height The height of the guide wheels can be adjusted by removing the spacer sleeves and reinserting them in a different location (Fig. 7-1). To do this, the machine must be raised using the tractor's hydraulic system. The guide wheel retractor must then be removed and the sleeves positioned according to the required height. - Page 53 Adjusting the cutting height • Select the required working height via the height-adjusting screw (Fig. 7-3) • Tighten the clamping screw (Fig. 7-2) Ensure that the cage roller is adjusted equally on both sides using the check scale that has been fitted (Fig. 7-4).

-
Page 54: Front Roller (Option)
Front roller (option) The front roller is a special accessory that is used when scarifying uneven terrain and is mounted on the front guide wheel supports (Fig. 7.1-1). To adjust the height of the machine it must be raised and the lynch pin and bolt on both sides removed. -
Page 55: Cleaning The Machine
Cleaning the machine Cleaning the machine The machine may become heavily soiled, particularly when mowing and scarifying wet grass that subsequently also becomes partly mixed with earth. In such cases it is recommended that the rotor and con- tainer are thoroughly cleaned by spraying them with water. The rotor and hood can be accessed as follows: •... -
Page 57: Maintenance Are Care
Maintenance and care Maintenance and care Due to its design, the Groundkeeper / HorseHopper is extensively maintenance-free. However, the following points must be observed. Oil level in the angular gearbox Although the machine's angular gearbox does not require lubrication servicing, the oil level must be checked once annually. To do this, the inspection screw mounted on the side of the gearbox must be opened (Fig. -
Page 59: Extended Periods Of Downtime
Maintenance and care Extended periods of downtime If the machine is not used for an extended period, it should be cleaned and sprayed with a suitable preservative before being stored. The function of the overload clutch which is located between the an- gular gearbox and belt drive, should be checked by an authorised workshop before the machine is brought back into operation. - Page 60 NOTES ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
