INSTALLING CALMER’S DOWN CORN
PLASTIC GATHERING CHAIN PADDLES
17 www.CalmerCornHeads.com
Follow the instructions for assembly of plastic gathering chain paddles and attach to every other lug on
each gathering chain. (One orange paddle is used on the row left of the feeder house in front on the
buddy seat for calibrating corn head speeds.)
1. Install and hammer the two provided carriage bolts into each paddle, ensuring the bolt shoulders are
seated in the paddles. Repeat for remaining paddles and bolts, while being careful to not damage
threads.
2. Install paddles on every other lug of the gathering chain, ensuring the bevel is closet to the chain. (See
graphic above for reference) Use a standard 7/16” socket to install and tighten lock nuts.
3. Repeat steps for remaining rows.
