Adjusting or Replacing Bed Knives

The rotor knives and bed knives are very sharp wear heavy gloves to avoid injury.

Use the rotor-locating pin to lock the rotor in the position that is least likely to cause injury as you work. The pin keeps the rotor from turning.

If the rotor knives and the bed knives are to be removed, remove the rotor knives first (and replace them last) to reduce the chance of injury.

INSTALL THE ROTOR LOCATING PIN

Insert the rotor-locating pin into the hole in the right side of the bearing housing.

While applying light pressure, turn the rotor pin until the pin drops deeper into the locating hole. The pin keeps the rotor from turning while the pin is in place.

NOTE: The locating pin allows you to engage several hole locations so that you can position the knives in the least hazardous position.
