IMPORTANT:
Right discs (A) and left discs (B) are timed and must be at a 90° angle from adjacent discs when reinstalled. Misaligned discs
could result in the following:
•
Disc blades of co-rotating discs hitting each other
•
Disc blades of diverging discs hitting adjacent discs
Check clearance (timing) before tightening spindle to the cutterbar. Turn disc by hand to ensure disc blades do not contact
each other or adjacent discs. If contact occurs or alignment is incorrect, lift spindle to clear mounting bolts, rotate spindle
180° (ensuring that base does not turn), and reinstall. Recheck timing before bolting hub down and tightening all of
the nuts.
