Daily
maintenance

Check the M12 attaching bolts of the cutting knives using a torque
wrench. Correct tightening torque:
130 Nm
Note : The standard tightening torques of 70 Nm will not be sufficient.

Adjust the cutting disc centrally in relation to the shear bar.
•
Even the knives have not been sharpened, the flywheel cutting disc
has to be readjusted twice a day.
•
Check all knives under the feed mechanism, especially after a
