OPERATION
3.12 Upper Cross Auger (UCA)
The UCA (A) improves delivery of very bulky crops across
the header.
Beater bars (standard on 45-foot headers) assist in
delivering material through the header opening, but are
removable if wrapping occurs.
IMPORTANT:
If the UCA is installed, a case drain line must be installed
on the right-hand draper motor. See your MacDon Dealer
for details.
