Initial Header & Header Drive Setup
•
Variable speed header drive (if equipped) in slowest position for draper
headers and direct cut headers.
•
Right-hand pivot drive belt positioned on large countershaft drive
sheave.
•
Feed chains (front and rear) should be in high position and fast speed.
•
Angle pickup header down so pickup attachment and pickup header
auger can breakup clumps of crop material and more evenly feed the
feed chains and lower wind board accordingly.
Tips
•
During day in dry conditions, slow the rotor down; at night when
conditions are damp speed rotor up.

•
Right-hand pivot drive belt positioned on large countershaft drive
sheave and small driven pivot sheave.

may be used if desired but, can cause cracking in certain conditions.
•
Optional slow speed elevator kit may be used if desired. Order

be reinstalled immediately for all other crops.
