1. INTRODUCTION
1. INTRODUCTION
INTENDED USE
JF disc mowers are developed for agricultural work. They should only be connected
to tractors and driven by the PTO of the tractor.
The disc mowers are solely intended for:
Cutting on the ground of natural or planted grass and stem crops for
animal feeding purposes
It is assumed that the work is performed under reasonable conditions, i.e.
that the fields are cultivated normally and to a reasonable extent kept clear
of stones and foreign matter.
Any use beyond this is outside the intended use. JF-Fabriken A/S is not responsible
for any damage resulting from such use, the user bears that risk.
If changes are made on the machine and its construction without permission from JF-
Fabriken A/S, JF-Fabriken A/S cannot be held responsible for any damage resulting
from this.
Intended use, of course, implies that you observe the prescriptions in the instruction
manual and the spare parts book, use original spare parts and contact an authorised
workshop, in so far as it is necessary.
The following safety instructions as well as common rules concerning technical
safety, working practices and road safety must be observed altogether.
The disc mowers should only be used, maintained and repaired by persons who,
through relevant instructions and after reading the instruction manual, are familiar
with the machine in question and, in particular, are informed of possible dangers.
PIGB-093X-06 GX 2402/2802/3202 SM-GX 2402/2802 SC 0410 6

1. INTRODUCTION
SAFETY
The safety of persons and machines is an integral part of JF-Fabriken's development
work. 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. However, damage can occur as a
consequence of misuse and insufficient instruction.
A mower cannot be constructed in such a way that it guarantees the full safety of
persons and at the same time performs an efficient piece of work. This means that it
is very important that you as user of the machine pay attention and use the machine
correctly and thereby avoid exposing yourself and others to unnecessary danger.
The machine demands skilled operation, which means that you should read the
instruction manual before you connect the machine to the tractor. Even though
you have been driving a similar machine before, you should read the manual - this is
a matter of your own safety!
You should never leave the machine to others before you have made sure that they
have the necessary knowledge to operate the machine safely.
DEFINITIONS
The safety decals and the instruction manual of the machine contain a line of
safety notes. The safety notes mention certain measures, which we
recommend you and your colleagues to follow as to increase the personal
safety as much as possible.
We recommend that you take the necessary time to read the safety instructions and
inform your staff to do the same.
In this instruction manual this symbol is used with reference to
personal safety directly or indirectly through maintenance of the
machine.
CAUTION: The word CAUTION is used to ensure that the operator follows the
general safety instructions or the measures mentioned in the instruction
manual to protect himself and others against injuries.
WARNING: The word WARNING is used to warn against visible or hidden risks,
which might lead to serious personal injuries.
DANGER: The word DANGER is used to indicate measures which, according to
legislation, must be followed to protect oneself and others against
serious injuries.
PIGB-093X-06 GX 2402/2802/3202 SM-GX 2402/2802 SC 0410 7

1. INTRODUCTION
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The following is a brief description of the measures, which should be observed by the
operator.
Transport
1 Always lower the cutting unit to the ground or activate the transport safety
device when parking the machine.
2 Never stand between the tractor and the mower during connection and
disconnection.
3 Always drive with the statutory lights and safety marking during transport on
public road and at night.
4 Always use transport safety devices and stop valves for hydraulic cylinders.
5 Limit the transport speed to maximum 30 km/h if the machine has not been
marked with another maximum speed limit.
WORKING
6 During work never wear loose clothes which can be pulled in by the moving
parts of the machine.
7 Use hearing protectors if the tractor has not been silenced sufficiently.
8 Make sure that all guards are intact and have been mounted correctly.
9 When connecting the PTO drive shaft, check for 540/1000 rpm.
10 Never start the tractor until all persons are safely away from the machine.
11 Do not stand near the machine while it is working.
12 Stop the machine if children are near.
13 Never use the machine for other purposes than what it has been constructed
for.
14 Do not stand near – or try to lift a guard – until all revolving parts have stopped
moving. This also applies when adjusting the machine!
15 Always disengage the PTO drive shaft, activate the parking brake and stop the
tractor engine before you adjust the machine.
MAINTENANCE
16 Never work under the machine unless it is secured by means of stop blocks or
other mechanical securing device.
17 Always block the tractor wheels before working under the machine.
18 Always disengage the PTO drive shaft, activate the parking brake and stop the
tractor engine before you - lubricate the machine,
- clean the machine,
- disassemble any part of the machine,
- adjust the machine.
19 Remember to remove all tools before starting the tractor again.

1. INTRODUCTION
SAFETY –JF– MOWERS
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.
If the power of the tractor is considerably larger than that, the machine
should be secured against overload with a suitable clutch on the PTO.
If you have chosen a machine which is constructed for 540 rpm, you
should make sure not to use the wrong PTO by mistake. It is highly
dangerous to connect a machine intended for 540 rpm, to a PTO
delivering 1000 rpm.
Long-term overload may damage the machine and at worst result in
ejection of parts.
Choose a tractor with a suitable own weight and track width so that it can drive
steadily on the ground. Also make sure that the link arms and towing hook of the
tractor are intended to carry machines with the own weight in question.
To maintain full control of the tractor under all conditions, minimum 20 % of the own
weight of the tractor should be on the front axle. It may be necessary to use front
weights to fulfil this requirement.
Always choose a tractor with a closed cabin when working with a disc mower.
The hydraulic system of the tractor should deliver a pressure of maximum 210 bar.
PIGB-093X-06 GX 2402/2802/3202 SM-GX 2402/2802 SC 0410 9

1. INTRODUCTION
CONNECTION AND DISCONNECTION
Never stand between the tractor and the mower during
connection and disconnection.
An unintentional manoeuvre with the tractor may cause
serious injury.
Make sure that the PTO drive shaft has been mounted correctly, i.e. that the lock pin
is in mesh and that the support chain has been fastened at both ends.
The guard must be intact. If the guard is defective it must be replaced immediately.
Check that all hydraulic couplings are correctly mounted and tight and that all hoses
and fittings are undamaged before activating the hydraulic system.
When the tractor engine has stopped, make sure that there is no pressure in the
hydraulic hoses by activating the tractor hydraulic spool valves.
Hydraulic oil under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious infections.
You should always protect the skin and the eyes
against oil splashes. If, by accident, hydraulic oil
under pressure hits you, consult a doctor
immediately.
Make sure that no persons are near the machine when starting as there might be air
in the hydraulic system which might lead to sudden movements.
To ensure all the air has been expelled from the oil in the hydraulic cylinders, test all
the functions after the hydraulic connections are connected to the tractor. Especially
before driving on public road.
TRANSPORT
Never drive faster than the conditions allow, and maximum 30 km/h.
It is important to block hydraulic transport adjustments. An unintentional operation of
the cylinders may cause the machine to move and at worst hit cyclists or pedestrians.
This may also happen if there is air in the hydraulic cylinders or if there is a sudden
loss of oil from the hydraulic hoses.
Therefore, always check that mechanical transport safety devices are activated
before transport.
WORKING
Before working check blades and discs for cracks and other damage. Replace
damaged blades and discs.
Check periodically if blades and blade bolts are worn according to the rules in the
instruction manual. (See section on maintenance)
Loose stones and foreign matter in the field might get in contact with the revolving
discs and get thrown out again at a very high speed.
Therefore, all guards must always be correctly mounted and intact when you are
working with the machine.
In stony fields the stubble height should be adjusted to maximum (horizontal cutter
bar).
PIGB-093X-06 GX 2402/2802/3202 SM-GX 2402/2802 SC 0410 10

1. INTRODUCTION
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.
When working with a side-mounted mower, never drive too fast along slopes and
hillsides as you should be able to avoid large stones, ditches and other obstacles
which may cause the tractor to overturn.
Also remember to adjust the speed for sharp turns on hillsides and for lifting the
machine in the three-point linkage.
The side-mounted mowers have a spring-loaded safety release which secures the
directional stability of the tractor and reduces damage in case of collision.
Check that the safety release can be released and that it is not blocked.
If the vibrations or the noise of the machine increase considerably during the
operation, stop working immediately. Do not continue the work until the fault has
been corrected.
MAINTENANCE
Always make sure that the used spare parts are tightened to the correct torque.
When replacing parts in the hydraulic system always make sure that the cutting unit
rests on the ground or the lifting cylinders are blocked.
Hydraulic hoses must be checked by an expert before use, and after that minimum
once a year. If necessary, they must be replaced. The working life of hydraulic hoses
should not exceed 6 years, including maximum 2 years of storage.
When replacing, always use hoses which comply with the requirements stated by the
manufacturer. All hoses are marked with date of production.
MACHINE SAFETY
All revolving parts are balanced by JF-Fabriken 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.
As the discs run at up to 3000 RPM, even the slightest unbalance will cause
vibrations which may lead to fatigue fractures.
When replacing blades, both blades on the disc in question must be replaced as not
to create an unbalance.
During the season check daily that no blades, carriers or bolts are missing. If any of
these are missing, mount new parts immediately.
Clean caps (if mounted) and flow intensifiers of earth and grass regularly.
Friction clutches must be “aired” regularly to ensure that they do not get rusty.

1. INTRODUCTION
SAFETY DECALS
The safety decals shown on the previous page are positioned as shown on the
drawings at the bottom of the page. Before using the machine, check that all decals
are present: if not, require those missing. The decals have the following meaning:
1 Read the instruction manual and the safety instructions
This is to remind you to read the delivered documents to ensure the machine is operated
correctly and to avoid unnecessary accidents and machine damage.
2 Risk of getting jammed
Never let anyone stand between the machine and the tractor after the connection. Unintentional
manoeuvres and misuse may cause serious personal injury.
3 Operation without canvas
Do not start the machine unless canvases and guards are intact and in their right place. The
machine can throw out stones and other foreign matter during operation. The purpose of the
canvases and the guards is to reduce such danger.
4 Rotating blades
Do not under any circumstances let anyone get near or stand near the machine during
operation. The rotating blades of the machine can without difficulty cause serious injury to any
part of the body if hit by such a blade.
5 Risk of stones being thrown
Almost the same meaning as decal No. 3. Even though all canvases and guards are in the right
place, there is still a risk of stones etc. being thrown out. Therefore, nobody should be allowed
to stand near the machine during operation.
6 Children
Never let children stand near the machine during operation. Especially not small children as
they have a tendency to do unforeseen things.
7 Momentum
After the PTO drive shaft has stopped, the blades will have a momentum where they keep
rotating for up to 2 minutes. Wait until the blades have come to a complete stop before you
remove the canvas and the guards for inspection and maintenance.
8 The number and the direction of rotations
Check that the PTO drive shaft runs with the right RPM and in the right direction. A wrong
number of rotations and/or direction of rotation can eventually damage the machine with the risk
of personal injury as a result.
9 Risk of injury during the connection
Never let anybody stand between the tractor and the machine during connection to the tractor.
An unintentional manoeuvre may cause serious injury.
10 The PTO drive shaft
This decal has the purpose to remind you how dangerous the PTO drive shaft can be if it is not
correctly mounted or protected.
11 Stop the tractor engine and remove the ignition key before touching the machine
Always remember to stop the tractor engine before lubricating, adjusting, maintaining or
repairing. Also remember to remove the ignition key to ensure that nobody starts the engine
until you have finished.
12 Stones being thrown from the conditioner
The conditioner rotor runs with a high number of RPM and stones on the ground can be thrown
up to 10 m backwards at a very high speed. Therefore, always make sure that nobody is
standing near the machine when it is working.

2. CONNECTION AND TEST DRIVING
CONNECTION TO THE TRACTOR
First, the machine should be adjusted to the track width of the tractor.
Fig. 2-1 You can choose between 3 settings (A, B and C) of the pins on the headstock
corresponding to the following track width sizes.
Track width [mm] Pin position
< 1650 A
1650 – 1850 B
> 1850 C
The adjustment of the pins is made by loosening and adjusting the fixed pin and
adjusting the loose pin according to fig. 2-2.
Fig. 2-2 Choose middle hole Bin the lever arm I at the left coupling point.
WARNING: Category III link arms can in hole A break the spring tightener
Fig. 2-1 Connect the link arms of the tractor to the coupling points Dof the machine.
Fig. 2-3 Mount the top link Fso that it is approximately parallel with the link arms of the
tractor.
Thereby a suitable movement is achieved when lifting the machine with the link arms
and optimal conditions for later connection and disconnection of the machine.
Fig. 2-4 Connect the hydraulic hoses to a double-acting hydraulic outlet.
Place the machine in working position by first raising the link arms, then activate the
double-acting outlet, and at the same time actuate the valve by pulling the cord.
Fig. 2-5 Release the transport lock B.
Fig. 2-6 Adjust the relief of the machine as follows:
1) Place the handle for the double-acting hydraulic outlet in floating position.
2) Raise/lower the link arms of the tractor until the indicator Ais on level with the
arrow on the transfer B.
3) Lock the link arms in this position.
A lighter machine (lower ground pressure) is obtained by raising the link arms so the
indicator Amoves approximately 1 cm down towards +on the transfer B.
A heavier machine (higher ground pressure) is obtained by lowering the link arms so
the indicator Amoves approximately 1 cm up towards -on the transfer B.

2. CONNECTION AND TEST DRIVING
Fig. 2-7 Adjust the length of the top link so the headstock Bis vertical.
Fig. 2-8 Adjust the length of the PTO drive shaft so that it in working position has minimum
200 mm overlapping on the profile tubes, in no position is compressed more than the
prescribed 30 mm in order not to bottom the shaft, and in the longest position has
minimum 100 mm overlap.
Fig. 2-9 Fasten the PTO drive shaft half parts to PTO and PIC, respectively, when these are
at the same horizontal level and opposite each other (the shortest distance on this
machine). Hold the shaft ends parallel to each other and mark the 30 mm (minimum).
CAUTION: Shorten all 4 tubes equally. The ends of the profile tubes MUST
be rounded off outside and inside. Burrs MUST be removed
carefully.
Grease the tube carefully before reassembling. If the shafts are
not greased, they are exposed to big friction forces if e.g. the
shock absorbing system is activated during the transmission of
heavy load.
Fig. 2-10 The PTO shaft has an internal greasing system Awhich makes it possible to grease
the profile tubes B at Cwithout disassembling the shaft.
Due to this greasing system you can shorten the shaft 100 mm maximum, which is
the distance to the grease bush D.
In extreme cases where further shortening is necessary, you have to shorten at the
other side of the bush, and the greasing system must be dismounted. After this the
tubes are greased by disassembling the 2 half parts.
IMPORTANT: For the warranty of the PTO shaft to be valid, and to retain the
durability, the following rules must be observed.
•Always start the machine with the engine running at low speed.
•Always start the machine with the PTO shaft in a position of
maximum 10ofrom horizontal.
•A sudden increase in the number of rpm of the machine, e.g.
when driving into the crop after turning in the field, must only take
place with the PTO shaft in a position of maximum 10ofrom
horizontal.
•Last, but not least: Grease the PTO shaft and especially its profile
tubes every 8 working hours, minimum.
FRICTION CLUTCH
On some models the PTO shaft has an integral friction clutch. Its purpose is to
secure the transmission against overload when working in the field and when starting
the machine (connection of the power take-off (PTO)).
The friction clutch must be “aired” before starting a new machine. See section 5.
MAINTENANCE – FRICTION CLUTCH, and do this during test driving.
TEST DRIVING
When all guards are in place and the machine is in working position, a test drive can
be made.
Before connecting the PTO, check if all tools have been removed from the machine
and that no persons are near. Connect the PTO shaft carefully and let the engine run
at low number of rpm for some minutes. If there is no unintended noise or unusual
vibrations, the speed can be increased to normal number of RPM.
Apart from the tractor driver nobody should stand near the machine.
