6 CONTROLS
NOTE: If the gauge reads over 210 bar (3045 psi) with the cylinders rotating but not cutting, this
indicates incorrect cylinder adjustment.
If the gauge is registering in the red sector, i.e. 210+ bar (3045+ psi) then the following action
should be taken:
a. Ensure cutting cylinder adjustment is set correctly with the bottom blade.
b. Increase height of cut.
c. Reduce forward speed.
d. Reduce width of cut by lifting one or more units out of work.
These checks should always be made in the order stated above.
