Figure 4.72: Cutterbar Spindles
IMPORTANT:
•
Spindles that rotate clockwise have right-leading
threading and are identified by a smooth top on the
spindle gear shaft (A).
•
Spindles that rotate counterclockwise have left-leading
threading and are identified by machined grooves on
the spindle gear shaft (B) and nut (C).
•
If the spindle position in the cutterbar has changed, the
rotational direction of that spindle
MUST
remain the
same (that is, a clockwise spindle must maintain its
clockwise rotation).
•
Failure to maintain the rotation pattern can result in
damage to spindle and/or cutterbar components.
•
Safecut (shear pin) will not work if the spindles used are
in the wrong orientation.
