Check cutterhead roller bearing adjustment:
Important: Prevent Damage - It is essential that the cutter- head roller bearings are kept in good adjustment in order to ensure maximum working life. If roller end float is allowed to become excessive premature bearing failure will result.
Grip the roller and move from side to side and up and down. If excessive movement is detected proceed as follows:
Carefully tighten nuts ‘A’ at each end of the roller with the spanner provided, just sufficiently to remove any end float.
Note: The roller should still rotate freely after adjustment. Overtightening of nuts ‘A’ could lead to premature bearing failure.
