5.8 Knife
Figure 5.85: Cutterbar Hazard
WARNING
Keep hands clear of the area between guards and knife
at all times.
CAUTION
Wear heavy gloves when working around or
handling knives.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury, before servicing machine or
opening drive covers, refer to 5.1 Preparing Machine for
Servicing, page 383.
5.8.1 Replacing Knife Section
Inspect the knife sections daily and ensure they are firmly bolted to the knife back and are not worn or damaged
(worn and damaged sections leave behind uncut plants). Worn or damaged sections can be replaced without
removing the knife from the cutterbar.
WARNING
To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected startup of machine, always stop engine and remove key
before making adjustments to machine.
NOTE:
For dirty, sandy conditions, coarsely serrated knife sections last longer than finely serrated sections. Finely serrated
sections perform best in thin-stemmed grasses and plants with fibrous stems.
