Adjusting Twine Cutter-to-Twine Arm
If there is crop material which is holding twine arm(s) from moving freely during twine arm cycle, it is recommended that twine arm(s) be manually positioned to release any "hold" they may have on the crop material. Turn off power to twine arm(s). This will help to make the unplugging operation easier and prevent twine arm(s) from moving unexpectedly while your hands may be in the path of the twine arm(s). Stay out of the path of twine arm(s) at all times when power to twine arm(s) is ON. Twine knife has two cutting edges. Be careful when working around the knife. It is sharp. 1. If equipped with a MEGATOOTH ™ pickup; Remove quick-lock pin (A) and rotate left-hand curtain (B) away from front frame. 2. Remove crop material from knife and hex anvil area. 3. Start tractor engine.
