7.4 Replacement of knives
The mower knives come in 2 different versions for discs with LH or
RH rotation. The front of the cutting edge has to point downward,
viewed in the direction of rotation of the disc.
The mower knives have two cutting edges. After one edge is worn,
the knife can be reversed so that the second edge can be used.
Knives should always be replaced in pairs in order to keep the disc
balanced.
Mower knives should be changed with great care and attention
as well as adhering to the instructions given below. Please be
aware of the fact that an incorrectly fitted mower knife may
cause substantial damage to both objects and people in the
direct vicinity of the SPLENDIMO mower.
- Remove dirt, if any, to be able to access the clip.
- Take the special tool out of its holder on the SPLENDIMO mower
(fig. 20).
- Turn the mowing disc in such a way that the pin of the knife to be
changed is positioned over the hole in the skid.
- Place the fork of the tool behind the clip (A, fig. 21).
- Move the tool downwards, so that the clip is released from the
locking cam and comes off the knife pin.
- Remove the clip.
- Remove the knife pin. If necessary, use the pointed hammer of the
tool to disengage the pin if it has become stuck (B).
- The mower knife is now disengaged and can be replaced by a new
one (C).
- Examine the knife pin for wear and tear. If there is clearly
visible wear and tear, the knife pin should no longer be used.
- Always make sure that the knife pin is locked with a new clip.
- Mount the parts in the reverse order.
- Position the mower knife with the pin underneath the mowing
disc.
- Install the clip so that it matches the groove in the knife pin (D).
- Use the tool (E) to hammer the clip fuly into the groove of the
knife pin, in such a way that it is firmly locked by the locking cam
of the disc.
- Check if the clip is properly locked by the cam of the mowing
disc!
- Place the tool in the special compartment of the support on the
rear of the headstock.
