4.3.3) Power-Band belt drive The Power-Band belt drive on the LRS 2002 Quadsaw ensures the power transmission between the oil motor and the saw blades. The belt drive is symmetrically constructed with a belt drive at the motor shaft, 4x pulleys at each saw blade including 2x belt tensioners to keep the belts tensioned in their path.
4.3.5) Branch guides at saw blades Branch guides at each saw blades (4x), leads the material directly towards the teeth of the blades, and also provides an even intake of material at each saw blade. The branch guides work together with a deflector rail, that makes sure that any cut material is deflected away from the saw blades, once the material is cut.
The protective guards are mounted on to the Quadsaw, using 4x lynch pins clamping the protective guards around the saw blades. The accompanying safety devices must always be installed when storing and transporting all types of GreenTec attachment tools. (Safety shielding, locking mechanisms, etc.) Likewise, it must always be attempted to turn attachment tools away from other traffic.
4.3.7) Skid shoe The skid shoe is mounted at the bottom of the mainframe, where it keeps the lowest saw blade from touching the ground. The skid shoe keeps a safety distance to the ground of approx. 134 mm (5.27”) This prevents any damage to the lower saw blade when working close to the ground in vertical position, during ex.

Assembly on different types of vehicles with different tool carriers is broadly the same procedure, but always investigate the procedure for the combination of machines used on your own. Common to all GreenTec attachment tools is that these are mounted either by bolting on to the standard attachment, or via mechanical quick-release.
3. The adapter bracket of the tool carrier is slowly moved to the adapter bracket of the attachment tool and the 2 machines are (PICTURE) carefully hooked together: Table 29 – Mounting and connection of LRS 2002 Quadsaw on tool carrier (1/3)
Page 54
The oil motor on the attachment tool needs a minimum return line pressure to ensure correct working conditions. GreenTec's machines run with an open hydraulic circuit that includes a pumping station, engine, and oil tank. One of the advantages of an open circuit is greater heat reduction compared to a closed circuit.
Page 55
The drain pressure must never exceed the return pressure on the machine! A higher back pressure than permitted on the drain connection results in serious damage to the oil motor and the warranty for this is void! The drain connection must therefore always be routed by itself as a pressureless tank connection and must never be connected to the return connection! Always remember to turn the locks on the hydraulic quick couplings to avoid accidental disconnection when a branch sweeps over the quick couplings! If...

(PICTURE) attachment tool, and follow all the procedures for initial start-up, use and stability in the following section: Preparing the machine for use – page 48- Table 31 – Mounting and connection of LRS 2002 Quadsaw on tool carrier (3/3)
5.4.3.2) Un-mounting and disconnection of LRS 2002 Quadsaw on a tool carrier: Un-mounting and disconnection of the attachment tool is done in the reverse order, cf. section on Mounting and connection of LRS 2002 Quadsaw on tool carrier – page 43-46.
5.5.2) Training of machine operators before use The GreenTec attachment tool may only be used mounted with tool carriers approved by GreenTec, and on an approved vehicle as a single unit. The operator of a vehicle with a tool carrier and attachment tool mounted must therefore both review and understand the instruction material for the attachment tool as well as the instruction material for the tool carrier and the vehicle used, before putting the machine into use.
5.5.3) Stability (o) When driving with the attachment tool, the operator must always be aware that the machine's centre of gravity shifts during work: After mounting and connection it must always be ensured that the complete vehicle is stable enough to be able to carry the tool carrier with the attachment tool attached.
4. Assessment is made in each individual situation, and it is the full responsibility of the operator and operators to ensure that the vehicle does not overturn or tip over. If the vehicle and tool carrier are stable, the attachment tool can be moved up step-by-step. 5.
5.5.4) Initial start-up and commissioning The initial start-up of the machine for use, like the initial mounting and connection of the machine, should always be carried out by the dealer with the necessary knowledge and experience. When the attachment tool is to be used for the first time with an approved tool carrier on the vehicle, it is recommended to always go through the steps below to ensure an optimal and safe first start-up of your machine: PROCEDURES FOR INITIAL START-UP AND COMMISSIONING:...
Page 62
GreenTec recommends running the machinery at slow idle before use to warm up the hydraulic oil. It helps to protect the hydraulic components and significantly extend the life of both the motor and the pump!
5.6) Operation of the machine (e) This section describes the handling of the machine, the operator's workplace when the machine is used, as well as operation and use of the machine. 5.6.1) Operator's workplace (f) The attachment tool must always be mounted on an approved tool carrier using a vehicle and therefore the attachment tool is handled when operating from the vehicle.
Common to all transport positions for GreenTec's attachment tools mounted on approved tool carriers, • is that the construction of the arm system ensures that the attachment tool always point towards the vehicle, without being a danger or a nuisance to either the driver, pedestrians or other road users.
5.6.3) Start of attachment tool The attachment tool can be started as soon as it is mounted correctly, and the tool carrier is in the working position. See sections: Instructions for mounting, connection and disconnection (j) – page 38-47 + Preparing the machine for use –...
5.6.4) Stop of attachment tool The attachment tool must always be stopped at the lowest oil supply / RPMs from the tool carrier: 1. The attachment tool is stopped by first running it down to a low oil flow / low RPM on the vehicle! (Always refer to and follow the vehicle instructions used as these will vary from vehicle to vehicle!) 2.
See section: Driving instructions – page 59-61. The settings and adjustment options for the LRS 2002 Quadsaw are described below: 5.6.5.1) Adjusting the branch guides: The saw blades rotate against the surface of the earth and saw/cut in a downward direction.
Setting the cutting angle on the LRS 2002 Quadsaw The LRS 2002 Quadsaw is recommended to be angled vertically with an offset of approximately 250 mm (9.84”) between the upper and lower saw blades. This ensures that the Quadsaw meets the material in the best possible way and that the optimal cutting result is achieved.
5.6.6) Driving instructions The machinery must always be operated and used in the most appropriate way, so that you achieve the best possible result and the greatest safety during use. The machinery must at all times be used within the limitations of the machine's safety instructions, intended use and area of application, so that it is always used for its intended purpose.

Use the vehicle's and tool carrier's instruction material for correct setting and positioning. Table 33 – Driving instructions: LRS 2002 Quadsaw (1/2)
Page 71
(3-4 mph) but must always be adjusted so that the cutting result is optimal. It is the individual attachment tool and the conditions under which work is done determine the speed at which it should be driven. Table 34 – Driving instructions: LRS 2002 Quadsaw (2/2)
5.6.7) Start-up after unintended / accidental stoppage (q) In case of accidental stoppage of attachment tool and/or tool carrier, always follow the instructions given in the machines' instruction manuals. See section: Safety instructions for maintenance, adjustment, and inspection (s) – page 15. An unintended stoppage of operation can occur at any time.
The warranty on the machine is void if one or more of the safety instructions are disregarded. GreenTec is not liable for compensation claims for damages caused by incorrect use of the machine and incorrect connection or connected equipment, or by...
GreenTec recommends moving machines and attachment tools around on their supplied support devices/stands, or transport pallets (EU standard) if support devices are not available. If machines are to be moved, always use a forklift or pallet lifter. Always check the weight of your GreenTec machine under the machine specifications.
6.2) Daily and routine inspections (e) Before starting up a new machine, a daily inspection is carried out before starting up, and again already after 3-5 operating hours. After this, a daily inspection after using the machine is sufficient, combined with a six-monthly inspection of the machine! (Every 6 months) At the beginning of the machine's service life, extra attention should be paid to the tightening of bolts, shielding and any belt tension on attachment tools.
Page 76
Semi-annual inspection is always carried out after every 6 months. All points MUST be reviewed! Thereafter, a daily inspection is carried out each time the machine is used: SEMI-ANNUAL INSPECTION OF THE MACHINE: Do a careful daily inspection. Cleaning and maintenance/lubrication so that general 1.
6.3) Tightening of bolts and hydraulic connections 6.3.1) Tightening of bolts All bolts and nuts on the machine are provided with quality class marking. Ordinary machine steel bolts have quality class 8.8: bolts marked with 8.8, and nuts marked with 8. Hardened steel bolts may be marked 10.9 or 12.9: bolts marked 10.9 or 12.9, and nuts marked 10 or 12.
6.3.2) Tightening of hydraulic hoses- and fittings The hydraulic hoses and fittings used are all produced with metric threads. Hydraulic connections are available in 2 series: • Light-series (L): Used on hydraulic connections where the pressure does not exceed 250 bar. Hydraulic hoses and fittings •...
Check all hydraulic hoses and fittings daily. Any damage or leakage must be repaired immediately. Hoses with damage/defects must be replaced. GreenTec's hydraulic systems work at a very high pressure: from approx. 200 bar up to 320 bar (2900 – 4621 psi) Use only original hoses. A burst hose can be very dangerous! When replacing hydraulic hoses, avoid twisting hoses and fittings.
Bearings etc. most often fail as a result of errors that could have been avoided: incorrect assembly after replacement, handling or lubrication, ingress of foreign bodies or abnormal heat generation. The bearings on the LRS 2002 Quadsaw have rubber seals and can therefore be considered "maintenance- free", as they are all sealed and do not require relubrication.
6.6) Checking and adjusting belt tension The belt tension on the machine is decisive for the overall function and performance of the attachment tool and must always be checked and approved before use. Great care must be taken when working with the machine's belt drive, as there is a risk of fingers and hands being pinched by the drive belt and pulleys! 6.6.1)

6.8) Cleaning the machine Be careful when using high-pressure cleaner close to the paint! Steam cleaners are used with great care around the machine's labels/stickers! Avoid harsh cleaning agents to avoid discoloration or damage to the paint! It is important to store the machine covered so that it is protected from rain and sunlight.
6.9) Lubrication of the machine There are no moving parts on the LRS 2002 Quadsaw that require lubrication. The bearings around the saw blade shafts are self-lubricating, with rubber seals, and thus maintenance-free. See section: Ball bearings w. rubber seals –...
Always store the machine so that it is protected from moisture, wind, and weather. Before putting the machine away for storage, it must be washed and dried carefully. Also remove all traces of leaves / branches and dirt. GreenTec's machines MUST be stored dry, due to the risk of water in bearings, bushings and possibly electrical parts.
7.1) Troubleshooting procedures If the LRS 2002 Quadsaw does not work correctly, the source of the error must be located on the machine. Faulty conditions on the machinery can be isolated by examining the following: 1. Where on the machinery is there an error / faulty condition?
