NOTICE
Never strike knife with heavy object. Damage to knife will occur.
If knife to disc blade clearance is too large, soil or residue can
wedge between knife and blade, and blade will not turn.
Adjust knife to disc blade contact. Loosen or tighten 1/2" mounting hardware to adjust knife’s entire leading edge to be
tight against disc blade. Turn blade and check for slight resistance without freewheeling. Readjust knife tension to
accommodate blade high-spots as needed.
NOTICE
After knife adjustment, adjust top end of liquid drop tube
accordingly to ensure clearance to opener mount and gauge wheel
through entire range of motion.
NOTE: Maximum disc blade depth 41/2" (10.7 cm).
CAUTION
Compressed spring may fly out of this assembly if attempting to
disassemble and cause injury. Do not take apart this assembly.
Disc blades are sharp and can cut causing serious injury. Wear
