Paddle Travel
The travel of the suspension paddle is limited by one
adjustment bolt behind the pivot point and a rotating
shim in front. These act as “stoppers” when they make
contact with the strut. To adjust the amount of travel,
loosen the lock nut, and then turn the bolt either
clockwise (to reduce travel), or counter clockwise (to
increase travel). Tighten the lock nuts when desired
travel is attained. The forward stop on the mid-frame
paddles is adjusted by loosening the nut and rotating the
shim.
This system is also useful to “lock” the paddles in a full-up position. A second
method of limiting upward movement of the paddles involves increasing the air
pressure until the desired resistance is obtained.
Maintenance
As with other components on the Grain Belt Plus header, the pneumatic table suspension
system should be regularly inspected to ensure that it is in good working order.
1. Check pressure gauges for proper air pressure in reservoirs.
2. Observe any excessive loss of air pressure, and locate the cause.
3. Inspect the air lines and air bags to ensure they are free of cuts, scrapes, splits, and
gouges. Replace damaged parts.
4. Ensure that the air lines are not loose or dangling, and that they are in no danger of
being pinched in other parts of the header. Restrain lines as necessary.
