Section 3: Adjustments
Check Knife Ledger Clearance
!
CAUTION
To avoid minor or moderate injury:
Knives and ledgers are sharp. ALWAYS wear gloves and eye
protection while inspecting and adjusting ledger clearance.
Refer to Figure 3-6:
The knives cut best if knife ledger (#5) is adjusted with a
1/32" to 1/16" gap between cutting edge of knives (#4)
and knife ledger (#5). The larger the gap, the faster the
product will self-feed. Do not exceed 1/16" gap.
1.
Make certain gear selector is in park and park brake
is set. Disengage power take-off, shut tractor engine
off, remove switch key, and wait for all moving parts to
come to a complete stop before working on this unit.
2. Disconnect driveline from the tractor.
Refer to Figure 3-7:
3. Remove hex flange screws (#4), washers (#5) and
feed chute (#2) to access inlet opening.
4. Check gap between knife ledger and cutting knives
as follows:
a. Refer to Figure 3-8 on page 29: Manually rotate
rotor (#1) until cutting edge of knife (#4) is in
alignment with knife ledger (#5).
b. Refer to Figure 3-6: Check gap between cutting
knife and ledger with a 1/32" gauge and again with
a 1/16" gauge.
•
If the 1/32" gauge will not fit between knife and
ledger or if the gap between knife and ledger is
larger than 1/16", then the ledger needs to be
readjusted. See "Adjust Knife Ledger
Clearance" on this page for instructions.
•
If the 1/32" gauge fits between ledger and knife
and the 1/16" gauge fits snug or does not fit at
all, then the gap is OK.
c. Repeat steps 4.a. & 4.b. to realign the second
knife edge (#4) with ledger (#5). Go to step 5
below if second knife edge is OK.
5. Make sure rotor housing is clear of all tools and loose
components that may have collected in the housing.
6. Attach feed chute (#2) to inlet flange (#1) with
existing hex flange screws (#4) and flat washers (#5).
Tighten hex flange screws to the correct torque. See
"Feed Chute" on page 16 for detailed installation
instructions of feed chute.
7.
Connect driveline to the tractor power take-off shaft.
