The discharge capacity of the machine is determined by the chopping drum among other things.
Depending on how far the chopping blade edge (1) extends beyond the chopping drum housing
(3), there will be correspondingly more or less discharge capacity.
The maximum overhang of the chopping blade edge (1) relative to the chopping drum housing
(3) is 89 mm (2).
During operation, the chopping blades close, thus becoming shorter. Wear leads to a drop in
the volume beneath the chopping blades. The discharge capacity of the machine deteriorates
due to this reduced volume.
• Move the chopping blades with the greatest possible overhang.
• Re-adjust the chopping blades frequently, see chapter Maintenance-Feed system, "Re-
adjusting chopping blades".
