IMPORTANT: During baler operation with precutter knives engaged, if some knives are disengaged during more than 2 seconds, the symbol "C" flashes and the monitor beeps.

Retract and engage precutter knives several times after each working day to prevent jamming of knives.

NOTE: When using baler with knives retracted for a long period of time, it is recommended to remove them all, see "Replacing Precutter Knives" in "Service" section and install fillers to plug the knife slot. See "Knife Slot Filler Kit" in "Attachments" section.
