NOZZLE ROTATION ADJUSTMENT
The most important adjustment affecting the performance of
your AirBar system is the position of the nozzles.
The nozzles should be aimed so that the air blast contacts the
head
2” – 5” behind the knife.
This position will allow for loose crop material to be swept into
the header as well as aid in lifting the crop mat into the infeed
system on the header (auger or canvas). The crop mat should
“float” on a cushion of air similar to an air-hockey puck.
Indicators of improper nozzle adjustment are:
Tilt Too Far Rearward (in)
Material bunching on knife,
excessive knife losses
Tilt Too Far Forward (out)
-System Ineffective
-Excessive Dust / Debris
