Adjusting or Replacing Rotor Knives
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.
OPEN THE CUTTING CHAMBER
The jackscrew, which opens the machine, should never be operated
until the rotor is completely stopped.
Make sure no one is near the jackscrew or the hopper
during operation.
Turn the jackscrew crank handle until the hopper opens
sufficiently to allow access to the cutting chamber and the
weight of the hopper is over the pivot center.
*NOTE: 50” and 62” machines are equipped with a hydraulic
system to open the hopper.
