Rough Grinding - Kongskilde FCT 1260 Operator's Manual

Fig. 4-29 7. Feed carefully by turning the handle C until the stone just touches the blades.
Move the stone in a sliding movement across the whole rotor and back again.
Feed a little more and repeat the movement across the full width of the rotor so
that the blades across the entire width of the rotor are ground.
8. Push the handle in all the way towards the machine after grinding. Stop the
tractor and lift the guard between the device and the rotor into the correct
position once the rotor has come to a standstill. The PTO drive shaft for the
rotor must be moved back to the pin for the normal direction of rotation of the
rotor.
WARNING:
In the interests of safety, check the distance between blades and shearbars again
using the gauge.
Check the wear on the grindstone regularly. If the stone has been worn down to a
thickness of 10 mm, it must be replaced.

ROUGH GRINDING

Fig. 4-33 To avoid unnecessary power consumption and excessive wear of the grindstone
when operating the harvester, it is necessary to carry out a rough grinding or
adjustment of the blades when the cutting edge is 5 mm wide or more. Grind the rear
edge to an angle of approx. 15º.
Rough grinding can be performed using an angle grinder with the rotor and blades
positioned in the machine.

4. SETTINGS
REMEMBER, only grind with the guards CLOSED.
Fig. 4-33
Be careful not to grind down the cutting edge (front edge) of the
blades.
Block the rotor with a solid object (a piece of wood or similar)
during rough grinding to ensure that the rotor does not move
during this operation.
