Basic Settings and Operation
5.3.4 Blade Zero Switch
To switch off the blades mechanically:
• disengage the locking lever (2)
• rotate the blade control shaft using the multi-purpose
key until the selector disc (1) is set at “0”
The “0” setting is located between any 2 blade
settings.
• Lock the blade control shaft.
If the round baler is to be used for exten-
ded periods without the cutting system,
it is best to detach the blades.
(see “Replacing Blades”)
To switch off the blades hydraulically:
The hydraulic blade zero switch aids in
removing clogs or foreign objects.
The blade control shaft (2) can be switched to the blade
zero position using the cylinder (1).
5.3.5 Adjusting the Blade Safety Mechanism
The blade safety mechanism should be set as slackly as
possible.
For tough baling material, tighten the blade guard.
The edge overhang (a) on the lower blade side (1) and the
can (3) attached to the blade control shaft (4) must be
between a = 10 – 14 mm. The blades are equipped with
two corresponding marks.
This blade setting must be applied when the blade shaft is
mounted below.
a = 14 mm blade safety mechanism tauter
a = 10 mm blade safety mechanism slack
