Verifying The Wear Status Of The Treaded Blades; Replacing Or Adjusting The Thread Blades - Nogueira VMN 4.0 Manual De Instrucciones

Verifying the Wear Status of the Treaded Blades

NOTE: In order to achieve good cutting quality with the least absorption of power, the blades
must be adjusted to a maximum distance of 2 mm from the counter-blades (fig.1). Dull
blades or blades which are two far away from the counter-blade exert more strain on the
tractor (consequently increasing the fuel consumption) as well as an improper fuel mixture
(cause longer cutting time, shredded product etc).
