removed.
The purpose of this manual is to assist you in operating
and maintaining your cutter. Read it carefully. It fur-
nishes information and instructions that will help you
achieve years of dependable performance. These
instructions have been compiled from extensive field
experience and engineering data. Some information
may be general in nature due to unknown and varying
operating conditions. However, through experience
and these instructions, you should be able to develop
procedures suitable to your particular situation.
The illustrations and data used in this manual were cur-
rent at the time of printing but, due to possible inline
production changes, your machine may vary slightly in
detail. We reserve the right to redesign and change the
machines as may be necessary without notification.
Throughout this manual, references are made to right

behind the equipment facing the direction of forward
travel. Blade rotation is clockwise (left wing) and coun-
terclockwise (right wing and center section) as viewed
from the top of the cutter.
