1. Fig 12 The Eliminator is equipped with a standard adjustable tensioning roller that keeps the v strings under tension As the machine is used wear and tear occurs on the drive line Because of this it may occur that the v strings start to slip and must be retensioned Adjusting the tensioning roller is done as follows See Fig 12 A Make sure that the tractor is blocked properly and cannot move of its own accord 909 Make sure that the Eliminator s PTO axle has been uncoupled Remove all nuts 1 and safety cover 2 Loosen nut 3 Loosen nut 4 a couple of turns depending on how much the v string 6 needs to be tightened Adjust the v string s tension using nut 5 Check the v string tension by pulling point A with a force of 3 8 kg 8 4165 The play should be 9 mm 0 35 Tighten nut 4 again Tighten nut 3 Replace protective cover 2 and install all nuts 1 17 7 0 TRANSPORT OF THE ELIMINATOR lt Transport position Work Position Fig 13 The user is responsible for the transportation of the Eliminator behind the tractor on the public highways Check the national laws regarding regulations Over open fields with the machine lifted the sp2.

4. See chapter 6 2 11 Make sure the Eliminator moves at a speed equal to that of the external receiving bin 12 If the desired depth is not achieved adjust the brush to a greater depth and restart the treatment e Stopping is conducted as follows Bring the tractor to a standstill Disengage the PTO so the brush is brought to a standstill Disengage the conveyor belts as soon as no infill is removed anymore Place the supply belt in the transport position Lift the Eliminator off the ground Drive to the next location and start the treatment as discussed above 6 2 DRIVING SPEED The maximum driving speed during the treatment is limited to 5 km h 3 mph The optimal driving speed is determined by the amount of infill material to be removed As more infill material is to be removed the driving speed needs to be lowered to arrive at a good result So this depends on the condition of the artificial turf and can therefore not be expressed ina fixed value The abovementioned recommended maximum speed is a safety value to prevent excessive wear and tear and damage to both machine and the surface to be treated 15 6 3 SETTING WORKING DEPTH N 2 40 mm 1 5 In 1 Fig 11 The working depth of the brush be adjusted by adjusting the aft roller This is done by turning the spindles at the back of the machine The procedure is as foll
