6.2.
Replacing the knives
Worn and/or damaged knives should be immediately replaced (Fig. 18).
Replace knives, if necessary, only in sets. Make sure all knives in a set are of the same length
and weight. The knife holders (Fig. 27) must not be damaged or deformed. If the knife holder pin is
worn too much, please replace it immediately.
CAUTION:
During work, please pay particular attention to mower’s shaking. If it
happens, it means that the disc (discs) works only with one knife. In that case
long-lasting mowing will cause serious damage of the cutterbar.
CAUTION:
When replacing knives the engine must be stopped and the cutterbar must lie
on the ground. PTO shaft must be disconnected. Discs should be
perpendicular to cutterbar.
