Removing Cutterbar Spindles

DANGER
To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected start-up or fall of a raised machine, always stop the engine and
remove the key from the ignition before leaving the operator's seat or making adjustments to the machine. Never work
on or beneath an unsupported header. If the header is fully raised, always engage safety props. If the header is off the
ground and not fully raised, place blocks under the header.
WARNING
Disc blades have two sharp cutting edges that can cause serious injury. Exercise caution and wear gloves when working
with blades.
1. Place a pin (or equivalent) in the front hole of the rock
guard (B) to prevent disc rotation while loosening bolts.
2. Remove four M12 bolts (A) and washers.
3. Remove cutterbar disc cap (A).
4. Remove cutterbar disc (B).
IMPORTANT:
Blades are rotation specific. Switch the entire disc when
swapping spindles.
