INTENDED USE The Tined Weeder Pro VS 470 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.
Transport equipment - e.g. lighting, warning signs and any protective equipment, must be checked and mounted! 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.
Mounting of any sort of accessories onto the implement must be performed according to standards. The maximum permitted total weight may not be exceeded. Only APV implements and accessories may be mounted on the implement. Accessories must be mounted in compliance with the standards by qualified specialist personnel from an authorised company.
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. 6.7.1 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.
PLEASE NOTE! 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"...
NOTE! When the feeler wheels are moved further down, the clearance is increased and the tine angle becomes steeper, and therefore more aggressive. The tine pressure remains the same. NOTE! Ideally, there should almost be a right angle (90° - 100°) between the wearing end of the tine and the soil (see Figure 12 - centre).
Figure 13: Hydraulic cylinder Figure 14: Flow divider on the centre frame ADDITIONAL ADJUSTMENT OPTIONS FOR GROUND ADAPTATION The slot in the cylinder working point on the side frame further improves the ground adaptation of the Tined Weeder Pro. If the laterally bolted, folding locking plates are installed, the upward ground adaptation of the side frame is fully available, but the downward ground adaptation is limited.
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.
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.
PLEASE NOTE! 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 4.

DECOMMISSIONING, STORAGE AND DISPOSAL 15.1 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 8.2. 15.2 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. ...

17.6 GPSA SENSOR MOUNTING KIT In combination with a pneumatic seeder, this sensor can be used for speed- dependent seed application. Order number: 06001-2-064 Figure 43 17.7 TINED WEEDER PRO WHEEL SENSOR MOUNTING KIT In combination with a pneumatic seeder, this sensor can be used for speed- dependent seed application or to stop the seeding shaft of a pneumatic seeder when lifting the implement at the headlands.
17.10 MANUAL TINE LIFTING With the manual tine lifting, individual tines can be lifted (see Figure 47), e.g. to avoid working in rows where the plants are already taller. As a result, the harrow can be optimally adjusted for crops grown on beds. Either the entire harrow can be equipped or any number of tine lifting mechanisms can be selected.
17.13 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. Order number: 07014-2-646 Figure 51 17.14 HALF-SIDE FOLDING ACCESSORIES KIT With an additional double-acting hydraulic control unit, the implement can be folded on one side.
