Page 57: Application On Hard And Very Solid Grounds
Application on hard and very solid grounds To thoroughly loosen very solid ground the support bars must be blocked by means of the eccentrics, thus shifting the weight of the roller to the harrow (see Chapt. 7.2.1). It may happen that the teeth of the harrow cannot penetrate the soil. -
Page 58: Adjustment Of Rear Brush Bracket
9.11 Adjustment of rear brush bracket For weekly maintenance of consolidated ground, the brush bracket mounted on the rear side of the harrow brushes and levels the top soil which has beforehand been combed by the pick-up bracket. The rear brush bracket must be adjusted in such a way that the brushes gently touch the soil when the machine in operating position. -
Page 59: Maintenance Of Sandy Artificial Lawn
9.12 Maintenance of sandy artificial lawn To brush the sand from artificial lawns and to regularly maintain them it is sufficient to mount the brush bars at the front and rear sides of the harrow.
