Adjustment
from
the
operator's
cabin:
The
opening
and
closing
of
the
deck
plates
with
the
electrical
adjustment
system
is
to
be
performed
using
the
relevant
electrical
control
in
the
cabin
and
while
the
harvester
is
functioning.
The
harvesting
height
is
adjustable
using
the
hydraulic
control
of
the
combine
harvester
feeder
pipe
(see
the
user
and
maintenance
manual
of
the
combine
harvester)
OPERATION
OF
THE
CORN
HEAD
The
divider
noses
(1)
are
located
between
the
harvesting
rows
which
open
and
invite
the
rows
of
the
corn
plants
into
the
harvesting
system.
The
stalk
rollers
(2)
grasp
the
stalk
of
the
corn
plant
and
pull
it
down,
passing
it
between
two
plates
placed
above
the
stalk
rollers,
which
allow
the
plant
to
pass
through
the
lower
part
of
the
corn
head
and
retain
the
cobs
of
corn
above
the
plates.
When
the
cob
reaches
and
rests
on
top
of
the
deck
plates,
the
gathering
chains
(3)
convey
the
cobs
with
a
rotating
motion
into
the
central
feeder
(4)
that
carries
the
yield
into
the
conveyor
pipe
of
the
combine
harvester.
STARTING
WORK
IN
THE
FIELD
Run
the
combine
harvester
at
a
low
speed
to
become
familiar
with
the
corn
head
and
only
then
set
the
device
at
full
speed.
After
going
round
the
field
a
few
times,
stop
the
corn
‐
head
and
turn
off
the
engine.
Make
sure
that
the
moving
parts
are
in
order
and
that
no
overheating
has
occurred.
All
bolts
must
be
tightened
and
the
chains
properly
adjusted.
DANGER
MOVING
PARTS
AND
FLYING
OBJECTS:
do
not
approach
when
the
corn
head
is
moving
and
stay
at
a
safe
distance
(at
least
30
metres)
from
the
machine.
Pay
attention
to
flying
foreign
bodies
caused
by
the
rotating
parts.
Failure
to
observe
this
warning
can
result
in
injury
or
death.
