13. Remove nearest access cover(s) (B). Retain the cover for
reinstallation.
14. Secure the flighting to the auger at drilled holes (A) using
four M10 x 20 mm flange head bolts and center lock nuts.
15. Repeat Step
to Step
for the other
flighting on the left side of the auger.
16. Repeat Step
to Step
for both
flightings on the right side of the auger.
17. Torque all flighting nuts and bolts to 47 Nm (35 lbf·ft) to
eliminate deflection on the flighting, then torque the nuts
and bolts to 61 Nm (45 lbf·ft).
NOTE:
Flighting performs best when there are no gaps between
the flighting and the auger drum. If desired, use silicone
sealant to fill any gaps.
18. Add or remove auger fingers as necessary to optimize feeding for your combine and crop conditions. For instructions,
refer to
3.8.2 Removing Feed Auger Fingers, page 112
or
3.8.3 Installing Feed Auger Fingers, page 114
19. If you are not adding or removing auger fingers, reinstall all access covers. Coat the retained bolts with medium-
strength threadlocker (Loctite
®
243 or equivalent), then use them to secure the auger covers. Torque to 9 Nm
(80 lbf
∙
in).
3.8.2
Removing Feed Auger Fingers
The feed auger uses fingers to bring crop into the feeder house. The quantity of fingers varies for the different models of
combines.
DANGER
To prevent bodily injury or death from the unexpected start-up or fall of a raised machine, always stop the engine and
remove the key before leaving the operator
’
s seat, and always engage the safety props before going under the
machine for any reason.
IMPORTANT:
When removing auger fingers from the feed auger, work from outside inward. Make sure there is an equal number of
fingers on each side of the auger.
