The feeder housing can also be V’d open as shown to
give a brief inspection of the blades. In order to V open
the feeder housing, the following steps must be followed:
1. The front attachment must remain on the feeder housing.
2. The feeder housing must rst be lowered to the lowest
possible position.
3. The locks, electrical connections and hydraulic connections
can then be removed.
4.
It is important not to unlatch hooks underneath
feeder housing.
5. The engine can now be started and lift the front attachment
with caution to any hoses or cables.
6. It should now be possible to gain access as can be
seen above.
Chopping Cylinder
20
The chopping unit has the task of cutting the material
compressed by the feeder housing to the pre-set chopping
length and of accelerating this material out of the
cutting plane.
There are 3 cylinder variants available:
• V20 (20 Knives)
• V24 (24 Knives)
• V28 (28 Knives)
Changing the Knives
When the shear bar can not be adjusted any further, CEBIS
will indicate wear on knife edge. As the knives are xed
using elongated holes, the position of the knife can be
readjusted to the shear bar.
Please refer to the operators manual (section 9.12.13) for
full instructions on replacing the knives.
When working on the cutting cylinder, ensure the machine
is stopped and the cylinder locking tool is in place.
