ADJUSTMENTS
RATCHET STOP
Fig. 5-8 The stop system of the metal detector is integrated in the transmission for the feed
intake system. The system consists of a pawl
A and a ratchet wheel B and is
activated by a coil C . The system is activated when metal is registered in the feed
intake section and the coil gets a signal from the electronics which brings the pawl A
in mesh with the ratchet wheel B and the feed intake section is blocked.
Fig. 5-9
WARNING: The distance between the pawl and the wheel MUST be S= 1-2
mm as the distance determines the reaction time of the system
in case of metal detection.
Too large distance may mean that a metal object can reach the
blade rotor before the feed intake stops and cause serious
damage to the harvester.
The distance between pawl and wheel has been adjusted correctly from the factory.
If it becomes necessary to readjust, it is done by means of the adjusting screw
E
above the coil C .
