Rotary cutter
CAUTION: The rotary cutters stop rotating
when the rotary harvesting unit has been
shut off. Before carrying out adjustment or
service work, shut off engine and wait until all
moving parts have come to a stop.
Blade tips and blade segments are installed in the
direction of cut. The blade segments (A) are 2.5 mm (0.1
in.) thick.
Cleaners (B) clean the cutting area from weeds and
husks; they are attached to the drum with an M10x25
screw and an M8x25 shear screw. Both screws are
special screws (class 8.8).
Daily check cleaners (B) for wear or damage. Make sure
that the tungsten carbide coating is facing to the front
(seen in the direction of travel).
The cleaners (C) keep the area between rotary cutter and
transmission free from accumulations of leaves and dirt.
Intact cleaners protect the drive system from overload.
Check whether the front edge (in direction of rotation) of
cleaner (C) is sharp.

IMPORTANT: When a blade segment is worn, the
edge of the segment may be sharpened with a
grinder instead of replacing the blade segment.
This method will help for a short time only and
will increase the load on all clutches.
Teeth on gathering drum
Teeth (B) of the gathering drum (A) must move through
the guide slot in scraper (C) at a constant height.
Every row of teeth has a welded cleaner (D). It cleans the
feeding area of the scraper. The gap between the tip of
cleaner (D) and the edge of the slot in scraper (C) must
not exceed 2 mm (0.08 in.).
Accumulation of husks in the scrapers indicate poor
adjustment or wear of cleaner tips. The cleaners consist
of special highstrength steel and can be returned to their
original condition by means of steel electrodes (buildup
welding).
