replaced. If the tooth is showing wear, remove and replace the twig breaker.

7.2.3 ROTOR LOCK PIN
Rotor Lock Pin works on a pull, twist and release principle and is a simple and reliable spring pin used
to secure the rotor from moving while the upper rotor housing is open. It is designed to only be able to be
engaged when the rotor housing is open, the spring pin cannot be engaged when the rotor housing is closed.
This feature prevents unintended use while in operation.
The rotor lock pin should be used anytime the rotor housing is open to prevent potential injury.
