Manual Stationary Knife Adjustment

causym CAUTION: Lower harvesting unit to the ground when adjusting stationary knife.

To avoid bodily injury always stand on the side of the machine when adjusting stationary knife.

IMPORTANT: Stationary knife must be readjusted every time cutterhead knives have been sharpened. Adjust stationary knife twice a day, even if cutterhead knives are not being sharpened. This will extend knife life and require less power.
