KNIFE AND KNIFE DRIVE

WARNING: Keep hands clear of the

working around or handling knives.

Knife Lubrication

Apply SAE 10 or equivalent light weight oil daily

(one or two drops per section) along entire length

of knife.

NOTE: Do not oil knife if operating in sandy

conditions. Oil will cause sand to adhere to knife

components, resulting in excessive wear.

knife back and are not worn or broken. Replace as

required.

replaced without removing knife from

knife sections on same knife.

new knife section on bolts. Secure with

locknuts.
