4.12.2 Replacing Stripper Bars
WARNING
To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected start-up or fall of raised machine, stop engine, remove
key, and engage safety props before going under machine.
Figure 4.122: Stripper Bars
1. Remove four nuts and bolts (A) that secure each
stripper bar (B) (both left and right side) to the pan, and
remove bars. There are six bars in total.
2. Position new bars (B) on pan as shown, with upper
flange on front bar facing forward.
3. Install three bolts and nuts (A) in each bar, and torque
to 203 Nm (150 lbf·ft).
4. Check clearance between auger and stripper bars.
5. Loosen bolts (A), and add shims between stripper bars
and pan at bolt locations as required to obtain
clearance as shown.
6. Retighten bolts to specified torque.
4.12.3 Installing Front Stripper Bar Extensions
Extensions for the front stripper bar are provided for installation (if required for certain crop conditions), especially in
tall crops that cause material to bunch up at the ends of the conditioner rolls.
Stripper bar extensions will allow the auger to carry the crop more towards the center, rather than prematurely
feeding it to the conditioner.
WARNING
To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected start-up or fall of raised machine, stop engine, remove
key, and engage safety props before going under machine.
To install front stripper bar extensions, follow these steps:
Figure 4.123: Stripper Bar Extension
1. Turn of engine and remove key.
2. Raise header, and engage safety props.
3. Remove nuts and carriage bolts (A) securing the two
extensions (B) to underside of header pan support.
