1. INTRODUCTION SAFETY The safety of persons and machines is an integral part of KONGSKILDE’s development work. However, damage can occur as a consequence of misuse and insufficient instruction. We wish to ensure the safety of you and your family in the best possible way, but this also requires an effort on your part.
1. INTRODUCTION GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Before use, the operator should make sure that the tractor and the machine observe the general work-related legislation and can comply with the Road Traffic Act. The following is a brief description of the measures, which should be a matter of common knowledge to the operator.
Page 9
1. INTRODUCTION 11. Limit the transport speed to maximum 30 km/h if the machine has not been marked with another maximum speed limit. 12. Do not stand near the machine while it is working. 13. When mounting the PTO drive shaft observe that the number of RPM of the tractor matches those of the machine.
1. INTRODUCTION SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS When working with mowers the following special measures should be observed. Use a tractor with a cabin provided with safety glass. Furthermore it is advisable to protect the glass of the cabin with polycarbonate plates inside or with a close- meshed net outside.
1. INTRODUCTION CHOICE OF TRACTOR Always follow the recommendations specified in the instruction manual of the tractor. If this is not possible, technical assistance must be sought. Choose a tractor with a suitable power on the PTO. To obtain full capacity under all conditions, we recommend you to choose a tractor which has 15 kW more than the informed minimum.
1. INTRODUCTION THE PTO DRIVE SHAFT Do not use PTO drive shafts with other specifications than the shaft which was supplied with the machine. The PTO shaft has its own instruction manual which is supplied with the machine and should be followed to ensure correct use of the shaft. All instructions should be followed, particularly the safety and maintenance instructions, in order to prevent unintentional damage.
1. INTRODUCTION ADJUSTMENT Never adjust the mower while the PTO drive shaft is engaged. Disengage the PTO drive shaft and stop the tractor engine before you adjust the machine. Do not lift the guard until all the revolving parts have stopped moving. Before starting check that no blades are missing or are defective and they can be turned freely.
1. INTRODUCTION In stony fields the stubble height should be adjusted to maximum (horizontal drums) height. It is important that the cutting unit is correctly relieved to ensure perfect operation in the field and to reduce the risk of damaging the cutter bar. If the cutting unit is blocked, stop the tractor engine, activate the parking brake and wait until the revolving parts have stopped before removing the foreign matter.
Be careful when using high pressure cleaners, particularly near bearings and seals. MACHINE SAFETY All revolving parts are balanced by KONGSKILDE by means of a special machine with electronic sensors. If it turns out that a part still has an unbalance, small counterweights should be mounted.

2. CONNECTION OR DISCONNECTION AND TEST DRIVING CONNECTION TO THE TRACTOR Fig. 2.2 Fig. 2.2 From the factory the machine is prepared for an A-frame connection category II according to the ISO 11001 standard (Accord system or the like). Fig. 2.3 Fig.
2. CONNECTION OR DISCONNECTION AND TEST DRIVING CONNECTION Fig. 2.4 Fig. 2.4 With the quick connection mounted, drive straight to the machine and lift the frame up in the headstock at the rear of the machine. If there is too much clearance between the locking pawl and the latch of the tractor frame, the machine may get disconnected from the tractor during operation or transport.
Page 23
2. CONNECTION OR DISCONNECTION AND TEST DRIVING Fig. 2.6 Fig. 2.6 Mount pin and chain fittings on the tractor side in the top link pin or a suitable place on the tractor. Mount relief springs with chains on the A-frame of the machine. Raise the mower and mount the chains to the fittings on the tractor.
2. CONNECTION OR DISCONNECTION AND TEST DRIVING Fig. 2.8 Fig. 2.8 The springs E must be tightened so that the mower is horizontal when driving. In case of inclination forward tighten the springs, in case of inclination backward loosen the springs. From the factory they have been tensioned to measure F = 30 mm which is suitable for most tractor brands.
2. CONNECTION OR DISCONNECTION AND TEST DRIVING ADJUSTMENT OF THE PTO DRIVE SHAFT The PTO drive shaft between the tractor and the machine must now be mounted to complete the drive line. Dimensions and movements of the front link arms of the individual tractor brands are not standardised.
2. CONNECTION OR DISCONNECTION AND TEST DRIVING Fig. 2.10 Fig. 2.10 Shortening procedure: 1) Separate the PTO shaft in two halves and mount these on PTO and PIC, respectively, when these are at the same horizontal level. This corresponds with the shortest possible length of the shaft on this machine and usually corresponds with the working position when the machine rests on even ground.
2. CONNECTION OR DISCONNECTION AND TEST DRIVING 2) When starting, the machine should be in working position. 3) A sudden increase in the number of revolutions of the machine, e.g. when driving into the field or after turning in the field, should also take place with the machine close to working position.
2. CONNECTION OR DISCONNECTION AND TEST DRIVING TEST DRIVING CHECK BEFORE TEST DRIVING Before test driving, the following should be checked: 1) That the PTO shaft of the tractor has the correct number of RPM. 2) That all lubricating points have been greased. See section 4; GREASING. 3) That all blades on the drums are intact and correctly mounted.
2. CONNECTION OR DISCONNECTION AND TEST DRIVING THE ACTUAL TEST DRIVE Connect the PTO shaft carefully and let the engine run at a low number of RPM for some minutes. If there is no unintended noise or unusual vibrations, the speed can gradually be increased to normal number of RPM (see page 19).
3. ADJUSTMENTS AND DRIVING 3. ADJUSTMENTS AND DRIVING CM 305 F is a drum mower which is connected at the front of the tractor and places a gathered swath between the wheels of the driving tractor. TRANSPORT ADJUSTMENT SIDE GUARDS Transport on public road requires that the side guards of the machine are placed in vertical position in order to reduce the transport width.
Page 31
3. ADJUSTMENTS AND DRIVING Fig. 3.3 Fig. 3.3 Finally the flexibility of the A-frame must be blocked to ensure steady transport. This is done by activating the holder D. PIGB 097A 05 CM 305F 0218...
3. ADJUSTMENTS AND DRIVING WORKING ADJUSTMENT BLADES Each drum is working with 3 sets of knives mounted by means of special blade holders under the rotor skirts. Each blade is made of hardened spring steel. Fig. 3.4 Fig. 3.4 Twisted blades can be used on both sides by turning the blade, but it must remain on the same drum.
3. ADJUSTMENTS AND DRIVING Fig. 3.5 Fig. 3.5 Defective blades should be replaced by original spare parts in order to ensure a satisfactory operation in the field. ROTOR SKIRTS Fig. 3.6 Fig. 3.6 The rotor skirts turn towards each other in pairs to ensure the shortest way of the material through the machine and thus optimise the flow of material.
3. ADJUSTMENTS AND DRIVING SWATH DISCS The swath discs make sure that a swath of a given width is gathered in the middle and can pass under the tractor. The required swath width will depend on the machines which are going to work in the crop afterwards.
3. ADJUSTMENTS AND DRIVING Fig. 3.8 Fig. 3.8 Finally, it is important to ensure there is a safety distance of minimum 10 mm to the rotating parts from swath disc to rotor skirt and drum. FRONT GUARD Fig. 3.9 Fig. 3.9 The inspection of blades and rotor skirts etc.
3. ADJUSTMENTS AND DRIVING Fig. 3.10 Fig. 3.10 The purpose of the pawl lock is to prevent unintentional access to the drums as this may cause serious injury. CUTTING ANGLE The cutting angle must always be 0° (horizontal). N.B. Do not let the machine incline backwards as this would result in recutting of the material and the stubble.
3. ADJUSTMENTS AND DRIVING RELIEF Fig. 3.12 Fig. 3.12 In order to spare the stubble during working, reduce the wear of the guide shoes and ensure good ground following abilities, the machine is relieved by means of 2 strong tension springs L. Always adjust the relief to the conditions of the ground.
3. ADJUSTMENTS AND DRIVING DRIVING WITH THE MACHINE As the machine is front-mounted, few driving instructions are required. However, there are some important circumstances to be aware of. STARTING Fig. 3.13 Fig. 3.13 When arriving at the field you want to work in, the following procedure must be followed: 1) The swath discs A are adjusted to the desired swath width by means of the special arm C and the adjustment tool B.
3. ADJUSTMENTS AND DRIVING WORKING IN THE FIELD There are several important conditions to be aware of when mowing with the machine. Theoretically, it is possible to work with a speed of 15 km/h. However, always adjust the driving speed to the conditions, i.e. the amount of crop and the conditions of the ground.
3. ADJUSTMENTS AND DRIVING During mowing make sure to keep a constant and correct number of rotations on the PTO shaft (see page 19) to ensure that the cutting parts work optimally. If the machine leaves a high stubble between the two middle rotors it may be due to the generation of an airflow between the rotors which lays the crop down before it is harvested.
3. ADJUSTMENTS AND DRIVING TRANSPORT Fig. 3.14 Fig. 3.14 All transport on public road and outside fields must take place with the machine raised with the front link arms and the transport lock D activated. PARKING When parking the transport lock D must be activated. Always park the machine on even and stable ground.

4. GREASING 4. GREASING GREASE Always make sure that the machine has been properly and sufficiently greased before working. Go through the greasing chart on the opposite page. Type of grease: Universal grease of good quality. The rotor gearbox is pre-lubricated with special grease type: SHELL ALVANIA EP 0 LF Check and refill is not necessary.
5. MAINTENANCE 5. MAINTENANCE IN GENERAL WARNING: When repairing or maintaining the machine it is especially important to ensure correct personal safety. Therefore, always park the tractor (if mounted) and the machine according to the GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS items 1-19 in the beginning of this instruction manual.
In the long run unbalance may cause fatigue fractures and serious damage. All machines manufactured by KONGSKILDE are tested and checked for vibrations with special tools. The first time you start the machine pay attention to vibrations and noise to have a standard of comparison later.

5. MAINTENANCE Fig. 5.3 Fig. 5.3 The belt is tightened correctly when a force of F=900 N (ca. 90 kg) gives a deflection of X= 15 mm at the middle of the belt. IMPORTANT: If one of the belts in the belt drive must be replaced, it is necessary to replace all belts to ensure operational reliability.
IMPORTANT: Damaged blades, blade holders, drums and rotors must be replaced by original KONGSKILDE spare parts to obtain safe operation. WARNING: Always lower the cutting unit to the ground before replacing blades.
5. MAINTENANCE Fig. 5.4 Fig. 5.4 Blades must be replaced if: 1) they are bent or cracked, 2) the blade width is less than 33 mm measured 10 mm from the edge of the rotor skirt. 3) The metal thickness around the blade hole is less than 7 mm. BLADE HOLDERS Blade holders must also be checked regularly.
5. MAINTENANCE REPLACEMENT OF BLADES Fig. 5.6 Fig. 5.6 Place the tool for replacement of blades in the hole on the rotor skirt, Fig. 5.7 Fig. 5.7 turn it halfway around and release the blade by pulling towards yourself. Remove the old blade and mount the new one by moving the tool away from you. WARNING: After replacing blades, blade bolts, rotors etc., check that no tools have been left on the machine.
5. MAINTENANCE CONDITION OF THE ROTOR SKIRTS Fig. 5.8 Fig. 5.8 If the edges in front of the blades are deformed/worn, the blade holders can be moved to a new position. All blade holders must be moved in order to maintain correct synchronisation.
6. MISCELLANEOUS 6. MISCELLANEOUS DRIVING TIPS AND FAULT-FINDING Problem Possible cause Remedy Uneven stubble or bad cut The cutting unit has too much relief Check basic adjustment machine and, if necessary, reduce the relief by loosening the springs The number of rpm of the tractor is too Check that the number of rotations of the low.
6. MISCELLANEOUS STORAGE When the season is over, the preparation for winter storage should be made. First, clean the machine thoroughly as dust and dirt absorb moisture and moisture increases the formation of rust. CAUTION: Be careful when cleaning with a high pressure cleaner. Never clean rotating parts with a high pressure cleaner and never spray directly on bearings.
6. MISCELLANEOUS DISPOSAL When the machine is worn-out it must be disposed of in a proper way. Observe the following: The machine must not be placed somewhere outside; the gearbox must be emptied of oil. These oils must be handed over to a destruction company. Disassemble the machine and separate the individual parts, e.g.
7. WARRANTY 7. WARRANTY Your machine is warranted according to legal rights in your country and the contractual agreement with the selling dealer.
