Unused knives and knife slot filler plates are stored at front of right-hand side twine box at location (A). Retain unused knives or knife slot filler plates using locking pin.

When a knife is no longer required, install knife slot filler plate into knife drawer.

When knives are removed, knife slot filler plates can be installed instead.

Knife slot filler plates aids in keeping knife slots clean when precutter is not in use. Knife slot filler plates ensure a uniform crop flow across cutting unit floor.
