Trailed disc mowers
KDC
- 28 -
In contrast with 2-drum mowers, straight mounting of the mower and full speed are not always
possible. Adjust inclination of the mower, PTO rpm, speed and correctness of knife-mounting to
get the best results.
In case of mowing soft meadows, the pressure of the cutterbar on the ground should be reduced
by adjusting support springs.
Always check to make sure that the ground speed suits the conditions or work and that it does
not create a potential source of danger.
Do not take sharp turns anytime and do not operate in reverse.

Shape of the stubble
0°, 3° and 5° slope of the cutter bar
NOTE:
Improperly relieved cutting unit of the mower will cause increase of
cutterbar pressure on the ground which will lead to faster wear of sliding
skids, overload of cutterbar, higher fuel consumption, damage to the stubble
and contamination of the fodder.

Mower clogging and jams
When operating the mower pay attention to variable conditions on field, which may influence
the mower clog, such as: terrain unevenness, height and density of grass as well as other objects in
the grass. In order to avoid clogging, mowing speed should be adjusted to the mentioned conditions.
In order to prevent any clogging, also inspect tensioning of belt on belt gear.
In order to remove the machine clogging, lower the cutterbar onto the ground, disconnect the
drive, take ignition key off and pay particular attention, remove excess material using sharp tool.
After clearing the machine check if nothing has been damaged. When eliminating the mower's
clogging, use also safety means for operator, so protective gloves and tight wear, due the risk
wound, abrasion and damage of skin.
