4. ADJUSTMENTS
For safety's sake check the distance between blades and shearbars again with the
gauge.
Check wear of the grindstone regularly. If the stone has been worn down to a
thickness of 10 mm it must be replaced.
ROUGH GRINDING

Max. 5 mm

Fig. 4-18
Fig. 4-18 To avoid unnecessary power consumption and excessive wear of the grindstone
when working with the harvester, it is necessary to make a rough grinding or
adjustment of the blades when the cutting edge is 5 mm wide or more. Grind the rear
edge to an angle of approx. 15
o
.
Rough grinding can be made by means of an angle grinder with the rotor and blades
positioned in the machine.
CAUTION: Be careful not to grind down the cutting edge (front edge) of the
blades.
Block the rotor with a firm object (a piece of wood or the like)
during rough grinding to make sure that the rotor does not
move during this operation.
