Page 19: Cutterbar Maintenance And Adjustment
CUTTERBAR MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT A well guided knife and sharp sections are essential for a good cut. A blunt knife requires more power. It is preferable that the sections be sharpened using a blade sharpener though it is possible to use abrasive disc grinders. Wearing parts like knife guides, knife clips, wear plates or knife heads are made of heat treated steel and are very resistant to wear. - Page 20 3) KNIFE CLIPS (3) must be correctly fitted over the top of the raised section. Ensure they are not set at the back or at the front only, for that would increase the wear. Screw (V) can be adjusted to lower the knife clip and give good support to the knife on the surface of the finger (1).
