Replacement And Adjustment Of Blades - Kongskilde FCT 1260 Operator's Manual

REPLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF BLADES

When replacing a single blade, the blade must be placed at the same distance from
the shearbar as the other blades. To ensure that the rotor is balanced, it may be
necessary to also replace the opposite blade because used blades have different
weights compared to new blades.
Even if there are no visible signs of damage to the blade bolts, they should always be
replaced together with the blades because they may have been overloaded.
CAUTION:
WARNING:
Fig. 4-26 When the blades have been worn by a maximum of 8 mm or to the first bend, i.e.
approx. 12 mm above the straight piece of the blade, they must be replaced.
DANGER:
PIGB-206B-02 FCT 1260-1460 0218
4. SETTINGS
Check the distance between the blade and the shearbar (0.5
mm) using the gauge supplied before the bolts are tightened.
Only use original blade bolts when replacing. Tighten the blade
bolts using a torque wrench to 40 kgm or with the spanner
supplied using approx. 40 kg leverage.
Fig. 4-26
When all blades on the rotor have become worn and the rotor
has been adjusted towards the shearbar, it MUST be adjusted
back again before new blades are fitted. Otherwise there is a
risk that the new blades will collide with the shearbar when the
rotor is turned.
