Adjusting Twine Cutter-to-Twine Arm
If there is crop material which is holding twine arms from moving freely during twine arm cycle, it is recommended that twine arms be manually positioned to release any "hold" they may have on the crop material. Turn off power to twine arms. This will help to make the unplugging operation easier and prevent twine arms from moving unexpectedly while your hands may be in the path of the twine arms. Stay out of the path of twine arms at all times when power to twine arms is ON. Twine knife has two cutting edges. Be careful when working around the knife. It is sharp. 1. Remove crop material from knife and hex anvil area.2. Start tractor engine. |

CAUTION:
Twine arms can move unexpectedly when twine arm power is on. Stay out of the path of twine arms at all times when twine arm power is on. During service or adjustment procedures for twine arms or twine cutter mechanism, turn off power to twine arms BEFORE placing your hands in the path of twine arm travel.

Move twine arms using tractor hydraulics until front twine arm tube (A) is centered over hex anvil (D). 4. Stop tractor engine and remove key. 5. Open left-hand door and loosen nuts (B). 6. Adjust twine cutter assembly, so clearance between knife hex anvil (D) and twine arm tube (A) is within specifications (C). Twine cutter bracket should be level (parallel with bottom edge of frame).
