HEDGE TRIMMER
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing a product from Kellfri AB. By following general safety information,
operating instructions and common sense, you will have many years of enjoyable use of the
product. Kellfris equipment and products are aimed to be use by active farmers with high
demands on functionality.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Hedge trimmer with arm for mounting on the tractor’s three-point linkage or for frontloader
with pallet forks
you can use the hedge trimmer for trimming hedges, clearing saplings from roadsides and
removing protruding branches from trees, for example along eld edges where branches can
scratch tractors and equipment.
The hedge trimmer is supplied complete with tank, pump and valve block package, plus lever
kit with Teleex wire for controlling the hedge trimmer from inside the cab.
The ’lever kit’ that you lift into the cab is small and exible, as the valve is on the hedge trim-
mer and is controlled by Teleex wire, which is connected to the valve block package from the
levers. The length of the wire is 3 metres, so that it will work on the frontloader or three-point
linkage.
The hedge trimmer’s hydraulics are operated by a pump positioned on the tractor’s power ta-
ke-o. Working speed of the pump is 540 rpm. This means that there is no need for large ows
from the tractor, the hedge trimmer is suitable for those with a small tractor with a PTO. When
using this hedge trimmer, it is important to remember to adjust the operation to the weight of
the tractor. We recommend the use of a tractor weighing about 1500 kg so that you can operate
the crane in its outermost positions.
The crane and the arm on which the cutting unit sits reach 5.5 metres up into the air and 4.8
metres horizontally outwards from the tractor.

What to consider when operating a machine with the PTO shaft
The transmission gearbox is protected by both the drive shaft and the shear bolt. All protec-
tion should be eective and in good condition. If protections condition is poor or worn, the
protection should be replaced before implement is used.
DANGER!
If the PTO shaft is not properly protected, this can cause death because it can
catch parts of the body or clothing and cause life-threatening injuries.
Make sure the safety chain is properly anchored to the PTO-shaft and that the PTO shaft is pro-
tected over its entire length. Ensure that PTO shaft spins easily inside the protective tube. Hold
the spline groove clean and well lubricated so that the drive shaft can be connected easily.
Read PTO shaft manual adjustment and use of PTO shaft.
RISKRISKS AND HAZARDS OF USE OF MOWING MACHINE
Risk of crushing
Bystanders may be injured when the machine is lowered to the cutting position. The machine
has crushing points around the hinge areas and between the three-point hitch mount and the
main body.
Rotating blades
All persons will be at risk of injury if they stick out their hands or feet under the machine when
it is lifted from the ground and the blades are rotating.
Risk of pinching or risk of trapping body parts
This risk is common in transmission devices such as belt drives, gears and rollers. Ensure that
all guards are tted correctly.
Risk during disengaging of the machine
The heavier the rotating part is, the longer it will continue to rotate after the drive has been
switched o. This feature is called ”free-wheeling” . Rotating blades and other components,
such as drive shafts, etc. will continue to spin after the drive has been disconnected. Damages:
• When the operator releases the equipment, and try to clean or adjust the machine
before the components have stopped rotating.
• When the shear bolt in the protective device in the power take breaks and rotors
still spinning while the PTO has stopped. Operator’s awareness is the key to safety
around rotating parts. Do not raise the machine while the blades are rotating.
Risk of ejecting objects
Machines that mows throws out material while driving. Foreign objects such as rocks, sticks
and other debris can get into the machine and ejected with tremendous speed. Cover the
sides and the front prevents these objects to be thrown out but it does not always guarantee
that the guards catch everything that is thrown out.
Bystanders or animals that stand in the way of the projected object can be seriously damaged.
Never bystanders within the vicinity of the machine. Respect the machine’s danger zone.
Danger zone m!
Noise
Please note that the machine is normally used outdoors and that the position of the operator
is in the driving seat of the tractor. It is advisable to read the regulations specied in the tractor
manual and maintenance instructions.
The sound pressure level exceeds dB during operation. Hearing protection should be used
while driving.
Accidents involving slips and falls
Accidents involving slips and falls often happens as the result of:
• Slippery surface
• Uneven steps and platforms
The potential for slip-and-fall accidents can be signicantly reduced by using good judgment.
All unprotected rotating machinery is a potential for accidents. Damage usually occurs when
loose clothing or long hair caught and wrapped around rotating parts such as transmission
shafts or drive shafts on the machine. Make sure all guards are tted.
