Cutting Unit Maintenance
Blade Safety
A worn or damaged blade or bedknife can break, and
a piece could be thrown toward you or bystanders,
resulting in serious personal injury or death.
•
Inspect the blades and bedknives periodically for
excessive wear or damage.
•
Use care when checking the blades. Wear gloves
and use caution when servicing them. Only
replace or backlap the blades and bedknives;
never straighten or weld them.
•
On machines with multiple cutting units, take care
when rotating a cutting unit; it can cause the reels
in the other cutting units to rotate.
Installing and Removing
the Cutting Units
Note:
When the cutting units are not connected to
the machine, store the cutting unit reel motors in the
storage location on the front of the suspension arms
to prevent damage to them.
Important:
Do not raise the suspension to the
transport position when the reel motors are in
the holders in the machine frame. Damage to the
motors or hoses could result.
Important:
Whenever you need to tip the cutting
unit, prop up rear of cutting unit to ensure that
the nuts on the bedbar adjusting screws are not
resting on work surface (
).
