Now push the knife forwards, continuing to maintain this 5 - 10 mm clearance
under the front of the slot. The keyhole slot on the front end of the knife should
now guide itself over the ‘flats’ of the lock shaft (
H
).

Continue to push the knife forward until it is in the fully home position, which
should leave a gap between the knife and back end of slot of approx. 65 mm (
K
),
with a maximum protrusion of approx. 190 mm (
L
) (assuming the knife actuators
are fully up). The retaining magnets (
J
) will hold knives in position until the knife-
lock shaft is closed.
11.
After installing, push the top of each knife forward, in the direction of the arrow
(
M
) as shown, to ensure proper engagement within both the lock shaft and the
actuator arm. If the knife moves, then it is not positioned correctly. The correct
position is shown at (
N
).
12.
If knives are removed, for any reason, always replace them with knife blanks to
prevent crop catching in the ‘open’ slots. These are stored in the knife holster.
