Information
General information
GB
This Collector container is designed to suction grass surfaces when
connected to a frontal sickle mower, the quantity of grass suctioned
being limited to the performance of the mower. No materials other than
grass and leaves should be suctioned.
The prescribed usage conditions for the sickle mower must be
observed.
NOTE
Important information
Please make sure that the Collector container is
always operated and used with a suitable vehicle.
Contact the manufacturer of your vehicle to determine
if the vehicle is suitable for attaching a Collector
container. When attaching and detaching the
Collector container the securing and fastening points
provided by the manufacturer are to be used.
The permissible axle loads and gross weights of the carrier vehicle
must be observed. Changing the tyres or track width can affect driving
behaviour and permissible loads; furthermore, it may be necessary to
change the suction hose routing.

Operating and
maintenance instructions
Warranty period
General information
These operating instructions contain important operating and
maintenance instructions that enhance the trouble-free operation and
useful lifetime of the Collector container. We recommend that you read
these carefully and observe the maintenance intervals.
During the warranty period, the Collector container must be checked
once monthly by the authorised workshop. The check must be
documented by the delivery workshop (stamp, date, signature); failure
to observe the maintenance intervals voids the warranty, as damage to
the machine may occur.
In the event of faults on the machine, always look for a specialist
workshop; do not try to perform repairs for which you lack the
necessary experience and possibly the necessary tools.
After expiry of the warranty period, it is mandatory to have the Collector
container checked once yearly by a specialist workshop. We only work
with specialist workshops that have the required specialist knowledge.
These workshops must also check the hydraulic cables and connectors
once a year. The law requires that hoses are completely changed six
years after manufacture.
GB
We cannot be held liable for the machine if modications are made to
the machine without the manufacturer's permission. We also cannot be
held liable if original GMR spare parts are not used.
We reserve the right to make technical changes or improvements;
all information, illustrations or dimensions are non-binding and no
incidental claim can be compensated for this.

Attachment to the carrier vehicle
1. Reverse the vehicle up to the turbine side of the Collector container.
Drive the vehicle slowly, into the middle, between the parking
supports - if necessary, work with the instructor (instructor must not
remain within the hazardous area of the machine) - and reverse the
vehicle up to the coupling elements.
2. The tilt cylinder on the vehicle must be switched off before
attachment.
3. Stop the engine and secure your vehicle from rolling away.
4. Slowly lower the Collector container into the coupling elements
of the carrier vehicle with the aid of the parking supports; before
removing the parking supports, check that the Collector container is
inserted into the coupling elements provided and then fasten these
elements.
5. Properly connect all intended hydraulic cables to the vehicle.
GB
Install and route the suction hose to the carrier vehicle, attach the pump
suction nozzle to the mower and secure. The Collector container must
not be operated without the suction hose being connected; before
starting up the turbine, care must be taken that there are no foreign
bodies inside the turbine, inside the suction hose or beneath the frontal
mower, as these bodies can get sucked in.
1. Prior to commissioning, let the turbine run stationary and check the
hydraulic components for leaks, then slowly take the turbine to full
speed and check all hydraulic connections again.
2. To attach the mower pump suction nozzle, push the nozzle in front
of the hinges, push through the hinge pin and secure with cotter pin
or locking pin.

Accident hazard
Before commissioning
Before starting the cleaning, switch off all running and rotating parts
and wait until all running and rotating parts have come to a standstill.
• Always wear appropriate protective clothing when cleaning the
suction container, such as gloves or moisture-protective clothing;
foreign bodies may always be present inside the turbine or within
the compressed grass in the blower, which can cause injuries.
• Please look out for damaged parts, safety devices, fasteners,
screws, safety devices and working tools (wind vane); these parts
must be repaired or replaced before the Collector container is
returned to operation.
• After cleaning, repair or maintenance work, all safety devices,
fastenings and protective devices must be brought back into good
working order before the Collector container can be returned to
service.

has been taken to ensure the operator’s safety.
However, injury and accidents can only be avoided by trained and
instructed persons insofar as these latter recognise the hazards and
behave accordingly.
• Sources of hazard include moving parts, such as the wind blades in
the blower and the tailgate of the Collector container
• A crush hazard exists when attaching or detaching the Collector
container, when raising or lowering the container during the
emptying procedure, as well as when opening and closing the
tailgate.
