Stationary Counter Knife Changing/Adjusting
Now that the knife cover is open, you can start the adjust or replace procedure for the bed knife.
STEP 1:
◼
Use an awl to remove any debris
impacted in the hex recess of the flat
socket cap screws, securing the
stationary counter knife.
◼
Take care to clean the bolt heads
thoroughly to ensure the Allen key bit
socket fits appropriately. If not, you
may strip the heads out.
◼
Remove the three nuts on the
underside of the bed and take out the
bed knife.
STEP 2:
◼
Clean the surfaces and place a new
bed knife. Mount, but do not yet
tighten the three bolts.
◼
Rotate the flywheel by hand to ensure
that the four knives clear the bed
knife and that the proper distance
between the tip of each blade and the
bed knife is correct (.0300”).
◼
If the distance is too close, damage to
the knives can occur by contacting the
bed knife.
◼
Move the bed knife in the correct
position; that is possible because of
the slotted mounting holes in the
frame.
◼
Once in the correct position, use a
torque wrench attached to the 17 mm
socket and apply a 40 lbs/ft torque.
◼
DO NOT over-torque the bolts; knife
breakage can occur.
