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 most nearly opposite) at once, oil and install replacements.
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 M10x50 screws of 10.9 grade together with self-locking nuts. Tighten the cap screws to specification.
