Reducing the starting torque
Reduce the startup force by starting the cornhead-
er with a reduced motor rotation speed in the
stand gas position. This will considerably prolong
the life-expectancy of the drive couplings and
straps.
Ensure that the horizontal chopper does not come
into contact with foreign bodies.
Maintain a safe distance from the ma-
chine
Protect yourselves and others against
injury and accidents.
Control the operating rotation speed.
