The knives in the chopper unit should be sharpened on the
flat side using either a file or a mopping disk. The knife
should never become hot while sharpening, otherwise it will
lose it’s tensile.(Sharpen along the flat edge on this side

6.8 Automatic lubrication system
The McHale Fusion 3 is equipped with a fully automatic greasing and oiling system
which is responsible for greasing the roller bearings in the machine baling chamber
(apart from the transfer roller) and oiling of all chain systems. All other grease points
must be greased, as specified in “Machine Maintenance” on page 105.
The oil reservoir tank (A) can hold approximately 5 litres of oil and this is enough oil for
approximately 500 bales. It should be kept between the minimum and maximum
markings at all times. McHale recommend the use of only top quality chain oil and
grease, this will prolong the life of the machine components. A grease cartridge is
required after every 300 bales approximately. On the control box an alarm is provided
to remind the operator to change the grease cartridge and top up the lubrication oil after
a preset number of cycles. This counts down from 300 and gives a reminder at zero. It
