Adjusting Knife Alarm Pressure – Auger Header
Adjusting the knife alarm allows the operator to set an alert to inform them that the knife is operating above the desired
pressure. A lower setting will cause the alarm to be set off more often; a higher setting will allow the alarm to be set off
less frequently. This adjustment requires the header to be in operation.
