6.3. Replacing the knives and knife mountings
Worn and/or damaged knives should be immediately replaced like shown in Fig. 22. Replace
knives, if necessary, only in sets. Make sure all knives in a set are of the same length and weight. The
knife mounting (Fig. 21) must not be damaged or deformed. If the knife mounting pin is worn too much,
please replace it immediately (tightening torque 130 Nm / 96 ft-lb (Fig. 23)).
WARNING!
When replacing knives the engine must be stopped and the cutterbar must lie
on the ground. PTO shaft must be disconnected. Discs should be perpendicular
to cutterbar.
