Inspecting Disc Blade Hardware - MacDon R1 Series Operator's Manual

IMPORTANT:
The disc blades have cutting edges on both sides so that
the blades can be turned over and reused. The twist in each
blade determines the cutting direction. If you are unsure
which direction the spindles rotate, refer to
Disc Cutterbar Crop Stream Configuration, page 180
instructions.

Inspecting Disc Blade Hardware

Inspect the blade attachment hardware each time the blades are changed.
