Replacing Rotating Knives

CAUTION: Always jam the rotor to prevent accidents when replacing rotating knives.

IMPORTANT: Note the following to avoid unbalancing the straw chopper.

Excessive vibration may be caused by broken knives. Remove the broken knife (together with the knife that is directly opposite) at once, and install replacement knives.

Do not resharpen knives that go dull. Instead, turn them round or replace them. This ensures that all the knives on the rotating knife shaft weigh approximately the same.

Always use screws of 10.9 grade with self-locking nuts. Tighten the cap screws to 65 N·m (47 lb-ft).

Install the screws from right to left (in direction of forward travel).
