Cutter bar pitch affects quality of cut.
Lighter crop may require tilting cutter bars farther forward (Position 7) to cut
crop shorter and minimize streaking. In this position the cutter bars are
more vulnerable to stone damage. Use of machine at this position should be
minimized.
Only use position (1) when folded for transport to prevent front of cutter bars
from settling.
To adjust:
Step 1: Fully raise cutter bars and engage cutter bar lift lock as described
on
page 15-2 .
Step 2: Remove hairpin clip (C) and remove pin (A) .
Step 3: Align hole in cylinder rod with desired hole in cylinder stop (B) .
Position (2) results in highest cut, position (7) results in lowest cut.
Refer to table below for recommended initial settings.
Each consecutive hole changes blade cutting height approximately
8 mm.
Step 4: Install pin (A) and hairpin clip (C) .
Step 5: Fully raise cutter bars and disengage cutter bar lift lock. Refer to
page 15-2 .
