Figure 4.75: Disc blades
Each disc has two blades (A) attached at opposite ends that are
free to rotate horizontally on a specially designed shoulder bolt.
The blade (A) has two cutting edges and can be flipped over so
that the blade does not need replacing as often.
The blades are
NOT
repairable and must be replaced if severely
worn or damaged.
IMPORTANT:
Always use factory replacement parts.
NOTE:
Discs are equipped with 18° bevel-down blades; 11° bevel-down
blades are offered as a non-standard option. Refer to the R1 PT
Series Rotary Disc Pull-Type Parts Catalog.
