7.2.2 Field Height adjustment and AHC adjustments
1. With defoliator set to initial height estimate follow section 6.1 Start Up for beginning a new field.
2. Run the defoliator for 25 - 50 feet (7.5 - 15 m) at a slow speed.
3. Following adjustment safety procedures, stop and raise the defoliator.
4. Once all moving parts have stopped, exit the cab and assess the defoliation performance.
5. Make height adjustments as needed by adding spacers or adjusting the ratchet jacks depending
on options equipped. For AHC, adjust heights by using the screen to change the rear height and/or
hitch height values on the home screen, or the left/right offset on the advanced options screen.
Use the following guidelines:
Flails hitting dirt – raise rear struts/increase rear height value
Front flails cutting top off beets – raise front hitch/increase hitch height value
Beet crown not clean – lower rear struts/decrease rear height value
Front crown of beet not clean while rear is – lower front hitch/decrease hitch height value
Rear crown of beet not clean while front is – lower rear struts & raise front hitch/decrease
rear height value & increase hitch height value
Beet crown damaged – increase speed and reassess
Beets being pulled out of ground – raise rear struts/increase rear height value
6. Make adjustments as needed and operate the defoliator for another 25 - 50 feet (7.5 - 15 m) until
satisfied with defoliation results.
7. Increase speed until defoliation job begins to worsen, then slow down slightly to optimize travel
speed and performance.
CAUTION: Never set the flails to hit the ground. Ground contact will damage flails and cause prema-
ture wear. Cylinder stops should be used at all times to prevent flail to ground contact. Flails can pick
up stones and other debris and expel them out of the machine with enough speed to injure a person.
Maintain a safe distance and never stand in front or behind of a running defoliator.
NOTE: A 1 in. (2.5 cm) stop in a rear cylinder provides approximately 1 in. (2.5 cm) of lift. A 1 in. (2.5
cm) stop on the front hitch provides approximately 3.25 in. (8.26 cm) of lift.
IMPORTANT: Properly setting height is the most important factor in the performance of your Amity
defoliator. Height should be checked and changed if needed every time field, variety or conditions
change.
