II FC 202 R (machines fitted with conditioning rollers)
Conditioning intensity is determined by the amount of pressure exerted on the crop
by the upper roller (A) and lower roller (B) (fig. 31 and photo 32).
This pressure is determined by adjustment of self-locking nut (C) only.
Spacer (D) is fitted with loctite and as such acts as an adjustment stop.
Pressure as set at factory : approximately 2.5 kg/cm (14 lbs/inch).
- Minimum pressure : 0 kg/cm
- Maximum pressure : 5 kg/cm (28 lbs/inch)
- Roller speed (rotational frequency) : 810 rpm (min
-1
)
The side plate bolt stop (H) (photo 33) is only used to adjust parallelism and
clearance (E) between the two conditioning rollers (A and B) (fig. 31). Clearance
(E) is set at factory for normal operating conditions.
After adjusting bolt (H) do not forget to retighten lock nut (I) (photo 33).
The FC 202 R is fitted with lateral deflectors (O) (fig. 31) which can be removed
for improved swath form, depending on density and height of crop.
