Always refer to Operating Safety Precautions and Safety Decal sections of this manual before operating this mixer.

Moving Knives - “In” or “Out” - Large Knives

“Out” Position

The “out” position on the knives (hole 1 & 3) will tend to move the long stem hay and lighter bulky materials best in the early stages of processing and mixing. This setting may result in more feed “boiling” inside the mixer and may increase feed spillage in certain materials. Knives placed in the out positions are very aggressive in processing feed it will also increase the HP requirement.

“In” Position

The “in” position on the knives (hole 1 & 2) will slow down the early feed movement of long stem hay and lighter bulky materials, resulting in less spillage due to clearance between the knives. This setting is more desirable for heavy rations with long run time and where over processing can occur. Knives placed in the “in” position are less aggressive in processing feed and will also reduce the HP requirement.

Small Knives

The smaller knives are provided to assist the mixer in processing the roughage materials into smaller particle lengths required in many rations. These knives are not adjustable “in” or “out”, however some or all may be removed if the stem and cut length of the ration is too fine. If the stem and cut length of the ration is too fine, some or all of the smaller knives can be removed. (Note: These knives are more effective after the feed roughage has been torn apart and is beginning to be processed.)

Replacement of Knives

When knives become worn and rounded on the leading edge, their efficiency is greatly reduced, resulting in longer processing times and increased HP requirements. Refer to your service parts manual and contact your Kuhn Knight Dealer for replacement part ordering.
