Blade Safety

A worn or damaged blade or bedknife can break, and
a piece could be thrown toward you or bystanders,
resulting in serious personal injury or death.
•
Inspect the blades and bedknives periodically for
excessive wear or damage.
•
Use care when checking the blades. Wear gloves
and use caution when servicing them. Only
replace or backlap the blades and bedknives;
never straighten or weld them.
•
On machines with multiple cutting units, take care
when rotating a cutting unit; it can cause the reels
in the other cutting units to rotate.
Checking the
Reel-to-Bedknife Contact
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Check the reel-to-bedknife contact even if the quality
of cut had been acceptable previously. There must
be light contact across the full length of the reel and
bedknife; refer to Adjusting Reel to Bedknife in the
cutting unit operator's manual.
Backlapping the Cutting
Units
DANGER
Contacting the reels may cause personal
injury or death.
• Never place your hands or feet in the reel
area while the engine is running.
• While backlapping, the reels may stall and
then start again.
• Do not attempt to start reels again with
your hand or foot.
• Do not adjust the reels while the engine is
running.
• If the reel stalls, shut off the engine before
attempting to clear the reel.
1. Park the machine on a clean and level surface,
lower the cutting units, shut off the engine,
engage the parking brake, and remove the key
from the ignition switch.
