9. Now push the knife forwards, continuing to maintain this 5 - 10 mm clearance
under the front of the slot. The keyhole slot on the front end of the knife should
now guide itself over the ‘flats’ of the lock shaft (H).
10. Continue to push the knife forward until it is in the fully home position, which
should leave a gap between the knife and back end of slot of approx. 65 mm (K),
with a maximum protrusion of approx. 190 mm (L) (assuming the knife actuators
are fully up). The retaining magnets (J) will hold knives in position until the knife-
lock shaft is closed.
11. After installing, push the top of each knife forward, in the direction of the arrow
(M) as shown, to ensure proper engagement within both the lock shaft and the
actuator arm. If the knife moves, then it is not positioned correctly. The correct
position is shown at (N).
12. If knives are removed, for any reason, always replace them with knife blanks to
prevent crop catching in the ‘open’ slots. These are stored in the knife holster.
