McHale V Series Baler
92
Unblock mode, knives retracted and channel floor lowered
9.6 Chopping system (V6750/ V8950 only)
The machine is equipped with a 15 (or 25) knife chopping system for fine cutting. If a
coarser chop is required, some of the knives can be removed. (See ‘Chopper unit
knives (V6750/ V8950 only)’). The knives can be raised or lowered by holding the knife
diverter (button 8) and operating the pick-up spool lever in the tractor, in the up/down
direction.
It is recommended to switch the chopping device off when baling very dry material.
In order to protect the chopping device against overload and damage, the knives are
hydraulically protected. If they become overloaded or if a foreign object passes through
the rotor and puts undue pressure on the knives, they are able to momentarily retract
from the position they are in, to let the material which is causing the overload, to pass
into the baler.
WARNING: Never go near the pick-up reel, while the reel is still
rotating and the tractor is running!
Never attempt to go near the pick-up reel while the reel is still rotating
and the tractor is running. In the rare case that the reel cannot be
unblocked using the procedure above, then the pick-up reel will require
manual unblocking, by removing the excess blocked material. To do this
safely ensure the PTO is disengaged, tractor shut down, key removed
and that all parts have stopped rotating. Also ensure machinery can’t roll
by parking machinery on level ground with the brakes applied and
wheels chocked. Remove excess material carefully. Always wear
protective clothing and gloves, beware of sharp edges!
