1. Introduction
Your have acquired a Votex FLV shredder. We wish you much success with this
machine and thank you for your confidence in our organization. This manual is
intended for end users and service engineers. Work that may only be done by
service engineers is indicated as such in this book.
This manual contains complete information about safety, operation and maintenance
of the Votex FLV shredders. We urge you to study this manual carefully, and then
keep it in a safe place for future reference.
Following the rules and recommendations herein described will ensure a properly
operating machine and reduce the risk of accidents!
The Votex FLV shredder is a machine with which plant growth is struck off by heavy
hammers fixed to a fast-rotating shaft, then reduced and thrown back to the ground
through a hood.
The machine is intended to be used with tractors. It enables you to mow and shred
grass, weeds and wood wildshoots having a maximum diameter of 5 cm.
The machines have been designed for mowing:
- grass, and shredding wood wildshoots
- fallow grounds
- landscape maintenance
Important! Any other use is not in accordance with the intended purpose!
The tractor operator must be appropriately qualified and have experience in driving
tractors.
The Votex FLV shredder must not be used for mowing operations in the vicinity of
areas presenting fire and/or explosion hazards.
The shredder may be used only when the ground roller rests on the ground with its
full width.
Votex B.V. is constantly working on improving its products. It therefore reserves the
right to make any such changes, modifications and/or improvements as it deems
necessary. However, this does not imply any obligation on its part to make such
changes, modifications and/or improvements to machines previously supplied.
2. Safety.
2.1. Safety instructions.
This symbol points to acute danger to the life and/or health of human
beings and animals!
This symbol is a warning of possible damage to the mower if the user
does not follow the instructions.
This gives the user suggestions/recommendations for performing
certain tasks safer and easier.
- Study the user's manual thoroughly so that you will be aware of situations
that may cause danger. Make sure you are familiar with the operation of the
tractor, and, in particular, how to stop it in an emergency. Pass all safety
instructions on to other users!
- Never let the rotor shaft run when the ground roller is not resting on the
ground with its full length!
- The exhaust gases of combustion engines contain carbon monoxide, an
odourless and lethal poison. So, never let the tractor engine run in a
confined space.
- In addition to the specific directions contained in this user's manual, also
observe the general regulations in force with regard to safety and the
prevention of accidents!
- The pictograms on the machine provide important directions for safe use.
Following these directions will serve your own safety. Replace any
damaged pictograms!

public roads, however!
- When using the machine, wear as much as possible close-fitting clothes!
- When using public roads, always observe the road traffic regulations in
force!

appropriately qualified persons with sufficient experience!

- If necessary, fit a lighting beam and/or warning signs!
- For road transport, put the machine into the appropriate position and lock it
in accordance with directions (see chapter 4)!
