Instructions Manual
4. Preparation
The head is provided a kit containing 6 narrow
blades (all the same) and 6 wide blades (3
for the right feeding drum and 3 for the
left feeding drum). These blades should
be mounted on your feeding drums. The
function of the blades is to keep the feeding
drums clean by cutting vines and other crops
that eventually wind up on the feeding drums,
making it difficult to gather. Wide blades also
assist in the gathering of harvested material.
Note that the wide blades of the right feeding
drum and the blades of the left feeding drum
are different (the cutting edge is reversed).
Narrow blades are all the same.
In general, the use of blades follows the
following recommendation:
4.3- Blades of the feeding drums (New Pecus / New Pecus G2)
ƒ
Place 1 wide and 2 narrow blades on each
feeding drum of the machine.
This arrangement is indicated for most crops
and harvesting conditions. However, under
certain harvesting conditions, the use of a
different arrangement may yield a better
result. If necessary, you can change the blades
by observing the following:
ƒ
Crops with hard and thick stems: only
narrow blades can be used on both feeding
drums. There are 3 narrow blades on each
feeding drum.
ƒ
Crops with soft and fine stems: You can use
only the wide blades on the two feeding
drums. There are 3 wide blades on each
feeding drum.
