8.10.4 Grind cutting knives
WARNING Risk to eyes due to blown-away abrasive particles when
grinding the cutting knives!
Always wear protective goggles when grinding cutting knives.
•
Regularly check the cutting knives for sharpness.
•
Turn blunt cutting knives over (every 12 service hours) or grind
them (every 24 service hours).
•
Use a right-angle grinder with a flap grinding wheel for grinding
the cutting knives.
•
Only grind the cutting knives on their smooth side, never on
their corrugated side!
Sharp cutting knives:
•
reduce the effort required for powering the conveying unit,
•
reduce conveying unit wear,
•
increase the service life of the conveying unit.
8.10.5 Set distance between cutting knives and rotor
The distance between the cutting knives and the rotor must be
approx. 20 mm over the complete width of the rotor. This distance
will ensure optimum cutting of the loaded material. The cutting
knives must not come into contact with the rotor.
1.

Lift the folding drawbar to increase the free
space to the cutting knives.
2.

Secure tractor and machine against
accidental starting and rolling.
3.

Enter the cargo space through the access
door.
4.

Measure:

the distance between the cutting
knives (1) and the rotor (2) from the
cargo space through the slots of the
conveyor duct.

the distance on the right-hand and
left-hand side of the rotor, as the
distance between the cutting knives
and the rotor must be equal over the
entire width of the rotor.
5.

Adjust the distance between the cutting
knives and the rotor at the respective
upper link on the right-hand and left-hand
side of the machine if the measured value
is not approx. 20 mm.
