Adjust Twine Cutter to Twine Arm

  1. Twine arms can move unexpectedly. To avoid crushing, keep hands out of the twine arm path. Turn off power BEFORE servicing or adjusting twine arms or twine cutter mechanism.

    Stay out of the path of twine arms at all times when power to twine arms is ON.

    Twine knife has two sharp cutting edges. Be careful when working around the knife.

    Remove crop material from the knife and hex anvil area.

  2. Turn the tractor ignition key to the ON position. Do not start the tractor engine.
