STEP 21. INSTALL TALL CROP
FEED PLATES
The tall crop feed plates assist the feeding of
tall crops into the conditioner by encouraging
material flow from behind the hourglass
deflectors. They will degrade the cutting
performance of the cutterbar if they are used in
medium to light alfalfa, and so should not be
installed in those types of crops. The feed
plates are designed for installation on the two
inboard hourglass deflectors and only on 16 ft
headers. They are stored inside the RH side
drive compartment.
Proceed to STEP 22 INSTALL OPTIONS if
Tall Crop Feed Plates will not be installed,
otherwise proceed as follows:
a. Open
cutterbar
doors.
b. Open RH side drive shield.
c. Remove nuts (A) securing feed plates to side of
compartment and remove plates.
CAUTION
Exercise caution when working around the
blades. Blades are sharp and can cause
serious injury. Wear gloves when handling
blades.
d. Place a block of wood between discs to prevent
deflector from turning.
