Adjusting Knife

WARNING

To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected startup of machine, always stop engine and remove key
before making adjustments to machine.

Stop engine and remove the key.

Check guards for signs of heating during run-up due to
insufficient clearance between guard and knife.

If heating is evident, check gap between knifehead (A)
and pitman arm (B). A business card should slide
easily through the gap. If not, adjust gap by loosening
bolt and tapping knifehead (A) with a hammer.
Retighten bolt.

Figure 5.25: Knifehead and Pitman Arm

Adjust guard alignment as necessary using guard
straightening tool (MD #140135).

Adjust guard tips

upwards by positioning tool as shown and pulling up.

Figure 5.26: Guard Tips – Upward Adjustment

Adjust guard tips downward by positioning tool as
shown and pushing down.
