5 - TRANSPORT OPERATIONS 5 - TRANSPORT OPERATIONS###_5_### Road transport Transport position The implement is equipped with a special hydraulic folding beam. Folding and unfolding is achieved with 2 double acting cylinders (1), which are activated from the tractor. The smaller implement until 6 m (19.7 ft) have single fold, whereas 9 m (29.5 ft) implement have double fold.
5 - TRANSPORT OPERATIONS Transport on public roads WARNING Transport hazard! If the tractor hydraulic system accidentally engages during transport, the machine could drop to the ground, swing into roadside obstacles, or swing into oncoming traffic. Before transport, always engage the header lift lock valve and the tongue swing cylinder valve in the LOCKED position.
Page 47
5 - TRANSPORT OPERATIONS Only transport the implement behind a tractor in the tractor linkage arms. Transport the implement only in the transport position. Before you drive on public roads, convert the implement from transport to working position and back again to en- sure that there is no air in the hydraulic system.
5 - TRANSPORT OPERATIONS Shipping transport Lifting the implement WARNING Falling object hazard! DO NOT go underneath a hanging load. Make sure the area is clear of all bystanders. Failure to comply could result in death or se- rious injury. W1129A WARNING Crushing hazard!

To transport the implement, fold the wings and disassemble some of equipment. To prepare the transport of the implement, disassemble and pack the following parts on euro pallet: •...
6 - WORKING OPERATIONS 6 - WORKING OPERATIONS###_6_### General information Working position To unfold the implement to the working position, proceed as follows: Lift the jacks to the transport position - highest posi- tion. Open the hydraulic ball valves on hydraulic hoses coming out from tractor and in line to stabilizing disc.
Page 52
6 - WORKING OPERATIONS The sections must be horizontal when work is started in the field and able to move freely up and down without in- terference. Each individual section can move upwards approximately 25 cm (9.8 in) (A) and downwards approx- imately 7 cm (2.8 in) (B) in relation to the horizontal posi- tion to be able to follow the contours of an uneven field.
6 - WORKING OPERATIONS Adjustment of working section With proper spacing section, the support wheels must roll a middle of inter rows. The distance between sec- tions (measured from center of support wheel) must be the same and correspond to widths of inter rows (R). In case of irregularities the sections should be moved.
6 - WORKING OPERATIONS Adjustment of working depth Position the boom correctly in relation to the field; hori- zontal sections and vertical tool bar at the foremost end of the bar. Mount the cleaning sections so that they clean between the rows of crops. The working sections (1) must be horizontal during work to achieve the best possibility for the sections to follow the soils contours.
6 - WORKING OPERATIONS Hydraulic adjustment Hydraulic block (1) to control the parallelogram side shift frame allows to work in 3 modes, depending on the required operating mode adjustment is necessary: • Closed Center (CC) • Open Center (OC) • Load Sensing (LS) - as option ZEIL19TL0069AA Hydraulic block adjustment To adjust the hydraulic block, proceed as follows:...
6 - WORKING OPERATIONS Operation mode adjustment To adjust the hydraulic block operation mode in Open Center, proceed as follows: The bolt (4) should be unscrewed until the tension of the spring is undetectable. The dimension (A) is approxi- mately 24 mm (0.9 in). To adjust the hydraulic block operation mode in Closed Center or Load Sensing, the bolt (4) should be screwed to the end.
6 - WORKING OPERATIONS Working in the field - Vibro Crop Intelli Before you work in the field, check that the implement has been connected correctly, that the implement is in the working position and that equipment has been adjusted correctly as described in the previous sections.
Page 58
6 - WORKING OPERATIONS Adjusting the implement in the field Raise the implement above the ground and adjust the side shift frame in the camera steering settings by marking the two out positions (left-hand side and right-hand side) and the center position. To control the correct position of the rolling shields on either side of the rows, drive slowly forward some 2 m (6.6 ft) and check that the rolling shields are correctly po-...
6 - WORKING OPERATIONS Working in the field - Vibro Crop Before you work in the field, check that the implement has been connected correctly, that the Vibro Crop is in the working position and that equipment has been adjusted correctly as described in the previous sections.
6 - WORKING OPERATIONS Adjustment of spacing of the tines and protection shields The step-less adjustable shields are adjustable in width from 7 cm (2.8 in) to prevent plant damage. They are mounted on the parallelogram and are used to mini- mize the area in contact with the soil and prevent weed, seeds and soil thrown into the crop rows.
6 - WORKING OPERATIONS Adjustment of the stabilizing disc With side shift or guiding disc, the implement is en- sured of following the correct course even on undulated and sloping land while still maintaining a high working speed. The spring (1) press the stabilizing disc into the soil. The size of the force this spring should ensure delving into the soil at least 2/3 of the cutting edge.
6 - WORKING OPERATIONS Camera steering The implement is equipped with a camera steering sys- tem (1) that is able to detect and identify the crop rows when you drive along the rows in the field. The camera controls the side shift frame so the implement is self-ad- justing during the work in the field.
6 - WORKING OPERATIONS Filling the FS Seeder To fill the FS Seeder proceed as follows: 1. Unlock the steps (1). ZEIL19TL0073AA 2. Fold the steps (1) down. ZEIL19TL0074AA 3. Climb up the steps (1) onto the loading board. ZEIL19TL0075AA 4.
45 – 50 cm (17.7 – 19.7 in), specially designed ZEIL19TIL0182AA to work on shallow depths. The KONGSKILDE S-tines are not only cutting the weeds but are also vibrating the weeds free from the surrounding soil, so that they can die on the soil surface. In conjunction with this they are also aerating the soil and improving the drainage without disturbing the soil structure.
7 - MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE###_7_### General information General WARNING Avoid injury! Always do the following before lubricating, maintaining, or servicing the ma- chine. 1. Disengage all drives. 2. Engage parking brake. 3. Lower all attachments to the ground, or raise and engage all safety locks. 4.

Make sure all hydraulic pressure is removed from the system before disconnecting hydraulic quick coupler. Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury. W0095A WARNING Escaping fluid!
7 - MAINTENANCE Storage Pressure washing Before you use pressure washing, clean the implement with compressed air. NOTE: Legislation in certain countries and good practice requires special treatment of waste water through sed- imentation and oil separation and controlled removal of residues.
7 - MAINTENANCE End of season service When the season is over, prepare the implement for the storage immediately. To prepare the implement for winter storage, proceed as follows: 1. Clean the implement thoroughly. Dust and dirt absorb moisture and moisture increases the formation of rust. 2.
Order and install the spare parts and/or accessories at once before the next season. When you order spare parts, always make sure to give your KONGSKILDE dealer the model number and the Product Identification Number (PIN) of your implement. See “Product identification” in Chapter 1 of this opera- tor’s manual.
