Fig. 4-3 The distance A between the pick-up roller and the crossbar is adjusted so that they
are as close as possible without colliding.
The auger on the pick-up is equipped with a slip clutch. The slip clutch of the auger is
adjusted so that it releases before the other friction clutches in the machine.
The highest capacity is obtained by working at a forward speed where you drive
without blockage in the auger. If there is a blockage around the auger you stop and
force the crop out of the machine by using the reverse function. See also chapter 6
"WORKING IN THE FIELD".
A continuous and even flow through pick-up and auger is the best way to avoid
blockages inside the machine, and thus avoid long operational stoppages.
The operator should always ensure spare friction discs for the slip clutch on the
auger are in the tool box. If this clutch has often been in operation, the coating of the
friction discs is worn and it cannot transfer sufficient transmission. It may therefore be
necessary to replace the friction discs, but remember they have to be of the same
number and quality.
