    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.
  • Page 8: General Safety Instructions

    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.
  • Page 10: Special Safety Instructions

    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.
  • Page 11: Choice Of Tractor

    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.
  • Page 12: The Pto Drive Shaft

    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.
  • Page 13: Adjustment

    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.
  • Page 14: Parking And Maintenance

    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.
  • Page 15: Machine Safety

    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.

    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.
  • Page 33: Rotor Skirts

    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.
  • Page 34: Swath Discs

    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.
  • Page 35: Front Guard

    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.
  • Page 36: Cutting Angle

    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.
  • Page 37: Relief

    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.
  • Page 38: Driving With The Machine

    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.
  • Page 39: Working In The Field

    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.
  • Page 40: Turning

    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.
  • Page 41: Transport

    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.
