Neutral Position - Kongskilde FCT 1260 Operator's Manual

NEUTRAL POSITION

This neutral position is between the reverse function where the rubber disc and the
friction disc are in mesh and a normal operating position where the belt drive is
tightened by the spring and drives the feed intake.
In neutral position, the belt drive for the feed intake section is slackened so that it
does not move. This position should not be considered a standstill position for
the machine, partly because the blade rotor is still able to rotate. In addition, an
empty, smooth-running feed intake can still be driven by the slight friction from the
slackened belts.
WARNING:
Fig. 4-37 In neutral position, with a new rubber disc, the distance between the rubber disc and
the steel friction disc should be approx. S = 2-3 mm. Adjustment of the neutral
position is done at the ends K of the cylinder. It is not necessary to adjust for wear on
the rubber disk.
The cylinder will be without pressure when the reserve is set to "feed in".

4. SETTINGS
Do not approach the machine when the feed intake is in neutral
position and the rotor is rotating. Neutral position does not
guarantee that the feed intake will not start.
