Introduction:
Please take the time to carefully read all the instruction booklets provided with your new Kongskilde
product. Once you are finished reading do not throw these guides out. Keep them for later review.
The "Spare Parts List" is referenced to by this guide. We suggest having it on hand during the assembly
process.
Accessories may have their own instruction guide. Please read the relevant booklets for instructions
on how to perform the installation of accessories. (Harrows, light kit
etc.)
Be sure to read and understand the "Owner's Manual" before operat-
ing this equipment. It contains information about adjustment settings,
operating instructions and safety precautions.
Please fill out and return the Owners Registration and Warranty Form
provided in the Owners Manual to activate the warranty.
Pre-assembly Instructions:
Assembly of Kongskilde products should only be undertaken by
authorized Kongskilde Dealers or an approved service provider with
the necessary tools, equipment and training for safe assembly of the
unit.
Frame components are heavy and somewhat awkward to handle.
Proper lifting devices such as overhead cranes, boom lifts or mobile
lift trucks should be used at all times when moving or handling the
large frame components.
Proper steel assembly stands or support jacks should also be used to
support the frame components, preventing them from falling. Recom-
mended assembly tools include:
A full set of standard open or box end wrenches and sockets; assorted sizes of pin punches; a heavy
hammer and/or sledge hammer; a pry bar; a large adjustable wrench; and pair of visegrip or similar
type pliers.
Optional tools could include an all purpose jack and a good quality air or electric drive impact tool
with heavy drive sockets.
The assembly area should be should be large enough to allow workers and equipment to move around
freely during assembly of the unit. For example; to fully assemble a 2800 Double Fold with 8m work-
ing width, a minimum area of 12M x 13M with an overhead clearance (wing fold) of 7M is needed
(12M x 13M x 7M)

4
If the unit is to be assembled and folded indoors, additional clearance may be needed in the assembly
area.
The ceiling height and the size of the building exit door must also be considered in order to safely fold
and move the cultivator outdoor after assembly.
The floor area should be level and clean.
Be sure to check the packing slip to be certain everything is present.
Carefully unpack and lay out all of the fasteners and hardware. Sort and organize the hardware by
type and size.
Some of the components of the cultivator are very heavy. Extra care should be exercised when working
with these parts. Be sure to properly support all large components, especially the frames. Proper supports
protect the assembler, the product and the workspace. Improper supports can lead to accidents causing
injury or death as well as damaging the product, which can make it difficult to sell. On this page and
the next are examples of good supports for a frame.
Moving heavy parts can be hazardous. Use proper equip-
ment for heavy lifting, and make sure that it is operated by
certified technicians. Failure to do so can lead to accidents
and injuries.
Utilizing proper supports stabilize the frame and make the
assembly safer and easier. In the example below example
steal saw horses are used to prevent swaying while the frame
is supported by an overhead crane.
Safety should be the first concern of anyone assembling
a Kongskilde cultivator. Such an assembly can be a safe
project, if the assembler takes the appropriate steps, and
applies a bit of common sense.
Support here.
Supporting the frame prevents damage to
the product.
Fastners sorted for ease in assembly.

Tines:
Each tines must be assembled and then attached. Assembly is
straight forward simply look up the exploded view of the tine in
the "Spare Parts List." This contains all the information needed
to assemble the individual tines.
Once the tines are assembled, they must then be attached to the
toolbar. There is a booklet that came with the machine called
"Tine Patterns." This booklet contains a number of different ar-
rangement of tines design for different soil conditions. Chose an
appropriate pattern for the conditions expected and then attach
the tines where indicated by the pattern. The actual attachment
is shown in the picture in the upper right.
For the VT 2800 the tines can be attached in a number of different patterns.
For the VTH and the Conser-tine the standard patterns are: 10cm (4") and 15.5cm
(6"). These patterns are included in the tine pattern book.
These tine patterns show measurements from the centre line (marked with an M)
of the cultivator frame to the centre of each tine. Once the tine has been placed,
remember to tighten it.
Most tines can be assembled separately and later attached to the frame. The VFM
tines is the exception (see next page). The VTH Tine

The VFM Tine
Assembly Information for the VFM Tine:
The VTM tines are larger than most other tines. For this reason this the stem of
the tine will interfer with attachment of the tine to the toolbar. Hence, the tine
can not be assembled prior to being attached to the toolbar.
To avoid this problem assemble the tines in the following order. Begin by bolt-
ing the clamp to the toolbar (1 in the diagram below) in the position indicated
by the tine pattern. Then attach the coil (2) to the clamp using the spacer. Next
bolt the stem (3) to the coil. Finally fasten the sweep (4) to the tine. Check the
“Spare Parts List” for the types of fastners needed at each step.
Once the assembly is complete check the individual nuts and bolts to make sure
they are tight.
The tine pattern for this tine is found in the tine pattern booklet.

The linkage length from centre to centre, labelled with
an "A" in this drawing, should be set at:
A = 71cm (28") for VTM tines.
A = 73cm (28.5") for VTH tines.
Mounting Wheels on the Centre Frame:
The next step in the assembly is attaching the wheels to the centre frame. The top picture shows the
wheel assembly and the lower picture shows the exploded view of the wheel assembly.

Assembling the Centre Frame:
The diagram below shows how to assemble the centre frame.
The front frame attaches to the rear frame as shown above. Use the bolts listed in the "parts book". Be
sure to bolt both top and bottom holes in the front and back. Remember to tighten them well.

Hinge Assembly:
These diagrams show how to assemble wings and how to attach the hinges.
Wing Installation:
The picture below shows the centre frame and the two sections of one of the wings of the cultivator. The
double fold cultivator, as you can see from the picture, folds its wings in two locations to enable this
large cultivator to present a small aspect when transporting.
The wings are attached at the hinge points. The second image below shows where the hinges are and
how to bring the frames together.

12
Cross Brace Installation:
The cross brace is present on the inside wing section for 40' (12M), 43' (13M), 46' (14M) and 50' (15M)
machines. The cross brace provides greater rigidity on larger wings.
When Positioning the cross brace
on the inside wing hand start the
nuts on the all bolts and tighten in
a even manner

13
Hitch Assembly:
The Hitch must be installed before any hydraulics are operated.
Assemble the hitch based on the pictures below, Compare these pictures to those of the hitch assembly
in the "Spare Parts List" if further clarification is desired.

Examples of what the hitch attachment points should look like.
The turn-buckle allows you to adjust
the pitch of the cultivator. Lengthening
the buckle raises the front, conversely
shortening the buckle drops the front
of the cultivator.

4.25" and 4.0" Cylinders on Wings
Cylinders:
Start by mount the wheel-lift cylinder in the location shown on the following page, with the pins de-
scribed in the "Spare Parts List".
The wing-lift cylinders should be attached as shown below. The ports on all wing cylinders should
face to the outside of the machine. There are three wing-lift Cylinders sized 4.5", 4.25", 4". The 4.5"
cylinder is to be placed on the centre frame, the 4.25" one goes on the inside wing and the 4.0" one
goes on the outside wing.
Important: The hydraulics are not attached at this time.
