7.5- Gap between the knives and the counter-knife
of the chopping impeller.
There is need for the correct gap adjustment between
the counter-knife and the impeller's knives (1) to
optimize the chopping performance and to avoid
product rolling up in the impeller's shaft.

d) Manually move the impeller (5), getting the knives (1)
near the counter-knife, in a such way that the distance
between them be the same as a paper sheet thickness
- 0,1 to 0,3 mm.
e) Make a visual analysis of the distance between the
knives (1) and the counter-knife to make sure the
measure is between 0,1 to 0,3 mm, that is, equivalent
to a small light passage.
f) Re-tighten the bolts (4) that fasten the impeller (5) -
see the item 12 tables.
g) Reinstall the knife (1) that was removed.
h) To make sure the adjustment is correct, manually
