Replacing knives and knife mountings
Worn and/or damaged knives should be immediately replaced
Fig. 31
. Replace knives, if
necessary, only in sets. When replacing, carefully inspect a knife mounting. If knife mounting is
worn (
Fig. 30
), replace both of the mountings.
CAUTION:
When operating pay attention whether there are no excessive vibrations of
the mower which may indicate that the disc(s) operate with 1 cutting knife
attached only. Long-term cutting with insufficient amount of knives will
cause permanent damage to the cutterbar, not eligible for a repair under the
warranty. When operating check knives for completeness
.
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.
Fig. 31.
Quick replacing of the knives with mounting lever
CAUTION:
Due to various windrow widths in the mowers (and therefore various rotation
directions of the discs), before mounting the knives check rotation directions
of each disc (
Fig. 32
).
CAUTION:
Improper mounting of knives will cause mower's choking. When mounting
pay particular attention to knife's free rotation on knife mounting.
