DISC MODULE - ASSEMBLY
Disc modules can be assembled for clockwise or
counterclockwise rotation of the disc. Before assem-
bling a disc module it must be determined at which
cutter bar location the disc module will be used to en-
sure it is assembled for proper rotation. When look-
ing at a disc module from the rear, a counterclock-
wise module will have the pinion gear on the left side,
and a clockwise module will have the pinion gear on
the right side.
The direction of rotation of an assembled module can
be determined by looking at the ends of the lower
module shaft; the pinion end of the shaft has a shal-
low groove in the end to identify it.
NOTE: The view in Figure 45 is from the rear of the
cutter bar.
