Figure 82 Cutterhead driveshaft shearbolt
FRICTION CLUTCH (OPTION)
In option, a friction clutch can replace the shearbolt overload protection (on demand and for specific cases, contact
your dealer)
NOTE: When a friction clutch is used, power is still transmitted to the cutterhead during slippage, but may burn
quickly if not stopped.
When slippage occurs, and the feedrolls are in FORWARD, the harvester controller will initiate an emergency stop
(models equipped with FerroDtec).
An intermittent failure alarm (4/5s ON – 1/5s OFF) is activated and the transmission shifts back to NEUTRAL to avoid
a feedroll or header blockage.
1.
Stop the PTO and shut the tractor off.
2.
With the harvester in NEUTRAL, turn the feedrolls manually to clear the header and throat.
3.
Clear the feedrolls or header if any crop remains.
4.
Start the tractor, engage the PTO at low speed with the harvester in NEUTRAL, and accelerate the engine speed
quickly to clear the harvester.
NOTE: Clean the processor rolls if needed (see page 75).
