SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS
SECTION 4-2
Adjusting or Replacing Bed Knives
(Continued from previous page)
The hydraulic cylinders or jackscrews, which open the machine, should not operate until the rotor is
completely stopped. If you discover that the hydraulic cylinders or jackscrews DO operate while the rotor
is still turning, immediately shut down the machine and call for maintenance to adjust it.
Wear gloves to protect against injury from the rotor or bed knives.
OPEN THE CUTTING CHAMBER INTERLOCK
Disengage the interlock actuator screw with a box
wrench or a ratchet wrench.
Make sure the end of the interlock actuator screw is
visible and clear of any contact.
When disengaged, the interlock opens the electrical
control circuit to the motor and prevents the machine
from running.
RELEASE THE CUTTING CHAMBER
FASTENERS
Turn the hold-down clamps counterclockwise to
loosen them.
Swing the hold-down clamps toward you until they
are disengaged from the cutting chamber housing.
