MOWER BLADES

DANGER!

The safety device of the cutterbar must only be opened when the drive has stopped and the engine and cutting discs are switched off! Only work on the mower blades or their fastening elements when the drive has stopped and the engine and cutting discs are switched off. –Switch off mower drive. –Switch off engine. –Do not leave the forage harvester until the cutting discs have come to a complete stop! –Remove the ignition key! –Switch off the battery isolating switch! –Wear gloves when working on the mower blades!

ATTENTION!

Always check the mower blades before operation and after driving into an obstacle! –Always check that the mower blades are correctly seated! –Worn, damaged or bent blades must be replaced immediately. –Both mower blades on every cutting disc must be attached or replaced, because otherwise the cutterbar may be damaged by unbalanced blades.

NOTE!

Use only sharp mower blades for neat cutting. Use of blunt blades requires more power and reduces the cutting quality. Blunt blades can be reversed and fastened to the same disc so the other blade edge is used for cutting.
