OPENING INSTRUCTIONS .
The rotor knives and bed knives are very sharp wear heavy gloves to avoid injury.
Use the rotor-locating pin to lock the rotor in the position that is least likely to cause injury as you work. The
pin keeps the rotor from turning.
If the rotor knives and the bed knives are to be removed, remove the rotor knives first {and replace them
last) to reduce the chance of injury.
LOCK THE ROTOR
Position the rotor so that a blade is at top dead center.
Insert the rotor-locking pin into the hole in the right side
bearing housing.
Apply light pressure against the pin while turning the rotor
toward you approximately 10 degrees. The pin will drop into
the hole when it is properly aligned.
The pin locks the rotor in place until the pin is removed.
