Do’s and Don’ts

Measure Up

What’s involved? ? • Measure Up Tools • Machine Settings • Machine Dimensions – Blade Height – Blade Width between Tips – Machine Body Dimensions • Mast Measurements – In from Blade Tip – Back from Cutting Edge Bolts – Above Cutting Edge Bolts

Why is it important? ? • Measurements are from Receiver • Measurements are Machine specific • Allows for Proper Tip Measurements – Correct Grade – Correct Location

Blade Wear

Blade Wear • Why it Important? ? – Affects the Measure Up – Grade Accuracy of Machine • What is Blade Wear? ? – Cutting edge of blade being worn down • When Should it be Measured? ? – Dependent on material – Minimum - 1 month – Max - As the operator deems necessary • How do I measure it? ?
