1. INTRODUCTION
INTENDED USE
The disc mower SMF 3005 should only be used for the agricultural work which it is
intended for, i.e.: Usual work in fields or meadows where natural or planted grass or
green crops are cut on the ground for animal feeding purposes. The material is laid in
a swath, which allows subsequent picking up.
Of course, the machine should only be connected to a tractor which
corresponds with the specifications of the product and is legal to use.
Any use beyond this is outside the intended use. Kongskilde Industries A/S is
not responsible for any damage resulting from such use, the user bears that
risk.
The performance of the machine will depend on the material, i.e. the crop, the
condition of the field, the ground, and finally the weather.
It is assumed that the work is performed under reasonable conditions, i.e. thorough
agricultural knowledge and authorised operation.
Intended use, of course, implies that the prescriptions concerning adjustment,
operation and maintenance in the instruction manual are observed.
The disc mower SMF 3005 should only be operated maintained or repaired by
persons who are confident with the use of the product and are aware of the
risks.
In the following there are a number of general and special safety instructions which
must be observed altogether.
If changes are made on the machine and its construction without permission from
Kongskilde Industries A/S, Kongskilde Industries A/S cannot be held responsible for
any damage resulting from this.

SAFETY
The safety of persons and machines is an integral part of Kongskilde Industries A/S’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 workforce
in the best possible way, but this also requires an effort on your part.
A disc 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.

4. Never work under a raised machine unless the machine is secured with a
mechanical transport safety device and the link arms of the tractor are secured
by means of a support chain or other mechanical securing device.
5. Never start the tractor until all persons are safely away from the tractor and the
machine.
6. Make sure that all tools have been removed from the machine before starting
the tractor.
7. Make sure that all guards have been mounted correctly.
8. During work never wear loose clothes which can be pulled in by the moving
parts of the machine.
9. Do not change the guards or work with the machine when a guard is missing.
10. Always drive with the statutory lights and safety marking during transport on
public road and at night.
11. Limit the transport speed to maximum 40 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

SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When working with mowers the following special measures should be observed.
1. Use a tractor with a cabin provided with safety glass. Furthermore it is advisable
to protect the glass of the cabin with polycarbonate plates or with a close-
meshed net outside. The cabin should be closed when working in the field.
2. Always keep away from the cutting unit when the parts of the machine rotate.
3. When replacing blades it is important to observe the rules in the instruction
manual to fulfil the safety requirements. Always use original spare parts.
4. Before use, check the revolving parts (blades, blade bolts, discs and flow caps).
If parts are damaged (bent or cracked), worn or missing, they should be
replaced immediately.
5. Damaged, worn or missing blades should be replaced in sets in order not to
create an unbalance in the machine.
6. Check canvases and guards regularly. Replace worn or damaged canvases.
7. Canvases and guards secure against ejection of stones and foreign matter.
Before use canvases and guards must be placed correctly.
8. Lower the cutting unit to working position before starting the power
transmission.
9. The field should be kept clear of stones and foreign matter, if possible.
10. Even if the machine is adjusted and operated correctly, stones and foreign
matter in the field can be ejected from the cutting unit. Therefore no persons
should stand near the cutting unit where the conditions are unknown. Be
particularly careful when working along public roads or facilities (schools, parks
etc.)
11. Though it is possible, you should never reverse with the cutting unit in working
position. The correct movement for the cutting unit only works when driving
forward, as there is a risk of damage if driving backwards with the machine in
working position.
12. Even though the power transmission has stopped, the revolving parts have a
momentum. Therefore, always wait until the revolving parts have come to a
complete stop before getting near the cutting unit.
13. If in doubt, always contact the nearest dealer.

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.
If the power of the tractor is considerably larger than the prescribed power, care
should be taken to avoid long-term overload. This may damage the friction clutch in
the PTO drive shaft which secures against overload.
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 linkage of the tractor is intended to
carry machines of the given weight.
However, the tractor specifications are different within the individual tractor brands.
Therefore, at worst, it may be necessary to adjust the weight distribution with a
counterweight on the tractor.
The machine is designed for 1000 rpm. Therefore you should make sure not to use
other speeds on the PTO by mistake.
To apply the hydraulic function of the machine, it is necessary that the tractor has a
single-acting hydraulic outlet at the front or that there is access to one of the outlets
at the rear. It is necessary that the front hitch is, or can be set to be, single-acting.
Likewise, make sure that the hydraulic system of the tractor has a pressure of max
210 bar.
Finally, always choose a tractor with a closed cabin when working with a disc mower.

CONNECTION AND DISCONNECTION
Always make sure that nobody is standing
between the tractor and the machine during
connection and disconnection. An unintentional
manoeuvre with the tractor may cause serious
injury. (See figure 1-1)
Check that the machine is intended for the number and the direction
of rotation of the tractor PTO (see figure 1-2) seen in the direction of
travelling. A wrong number of rotations over a long period may
damage the machine and at worst result in ejection of parts.
Make sure that the PTO drive shaft has been mounted correctly. The
lock pin must be in mesh and the support chains must be fastened at
both ends.
The PTO drive shaft must be correctly protected. If the guard is
damaged it must be replaced immediately.
Check that all hydraulic couplings are correctly mounted and fastened and that all
hoses and fittings are undamaged before activating the hydraulic system. When the
tractor engine has stopped, ensure 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. (See figure 1-3).
Check that the cutting unit can move freely before
you activate the hydraulic cylinder. 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.
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 can be turned
freely. Likewise, check that the blade holders are not loose or defective. Replace
damaged blades and blade holders. (see section 5: MAINTENANCE)
Check periodically if blades and blade holders are worn according to the rules in the
instruction manual. (see section 5: MAINTENANCE)

TRANSPORT
Never drive faster than the conditions allow.
It is important to block the hydraulic cylinder on the machine with the mechanical
transport lock. An unintentional operation of the hydraulic handle for the cylinder,
sudden leakage from hoses or fittings or air in the system may cause the machine to
be lowered and perhaps hit the ground. Collision with e.g. kerbs, ramps, road humps
etc. might damage the machine and cause steering problems.
IMPORTANT: 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 roads.
Otherwise you risk that the cutting unit suddenly moves downward
after you have dismounted the transport lock.
WORKING
During the daily work it should be considered that loose stones and foreign matter on
the ground might get in contact with the revolving parts 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.
Never allow anybody to stand near the mower during work, especially not children.
On stony ground adjust the stubble height to maximum, reduce the cutting angle as
much as possible and limit the driving speed.
Through the suspension, the machine is secured against shocks in the direction of
travel. However, there is no securing against shocks if backing with a lowered cutting
unit and you risk damaging the machine.
If the cutting unit or the conditioner is blocked because of foreign matter, stop the
power take-off of the tractor, activate the parking brake and wait until all revolving
parts have stopped. Then try to remove the foreign matter.
Change into a lower tractor gear if working on hilly ground. When working with 3-
point mounted machines keep a safe distance from steep slopes and similar
conditions of the ground, as the ground may be slippery and pull the mower and the
tractor sideways. Also remember to adjust the speed of the tractor for sharp turns
when driving on hillsides.

PIGB-189X 03 SMF 3005 0218
14
PARKING
Never leave the tractor before the cutting unit is resting on the ground, the engine of
the tractor has stopped, and the parking brake has been activated. This is the only
way to perform a safe operation.
GREASING
When greasing or maintaining the machine, make sure that the cutting unit is resting
on the ground or is secured with mechanical transport lock and that the link arms of
the tractor are secured with a support chain.
Also check that the PTO has been disengaged, the tractor engine has stopped and
the parking brake is activated.
MAINTENANCE
It is important that the cutting unit is correctly relieved to ensure optimal operation in
the field and to reduce the risk of damaging the cutter bar.
Always make sure that the applied spare parts are tightened to the correct torque
and that parts on the machine are retightened regularly. (see section on
maintenance)
Never fit other spare parts than those prescribed by KONGSKILDE.
When replacing parts in the hydraulic system always make sure that the cutting unit
rests on the ground.
Remember to relieve the oil pressure before working with the hydraulic system.
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
KONGSKILDE. All hoses are marked with date of production.

MACHINE SAFETY
All revolving parts are checked 100 % and balanced by the factory by means of
special machines with electronic sensors.
The discs run at up to 3000 RPM, and even the slightest inbalance will cause
abnormal vibrations which may lead to fatigue fractures.
If the vibrations or the noise of the machine increase gradually during a period you
should stop working and check whether the revolving parts have been damaged. Do
not continue the work until the fault has been corrected.
During the season check daily that no blades, carriers or bolts are missing. If any of
these are missing, mount new parts immediately.
When replacing blades, both blades on the disc in question must be replaced in order
not to create an inbalance.
Clean discs and flow intensifiers of earth and grass regularly and check that all parts
are intact.
Check regularly that all parts at the mortise joints (various pins and ball heads) are
intact and sufficiently lubricated.
You should also check and “air” the friction clutch regularly to ensure that the discs
do not rust. (see section 5: MAINTENANCE)

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. 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.
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. 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 damage the machine with
the risk of personal injury as a result.
5. Children.
Never let children stand near the machine during operation. Especially not small
children as they have a tendency to do unforeseen things.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Rotating parts.
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.
10. Risk of stones being thrown.
Similar meaning to decal No. 5. 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.
