INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION OF THE ROTARY CORN
ATTACHMENT ON THE DION FORAGE HARVESTER
NOTE:
Refer to the Forage Harvester operator’s
manual for brands other than Dion.
NOTE:
Always remove tension on balancing springs
before installing or removing attachment from
Forage Harvester.
Make sure the Forage Harvester and the rotary corn
attachment are standing on a flat terrain.
The rotary corn attachment is equipped with a sup-
port (figure 11) to lift attachment up for proper instal
-
lation. The minimum lifting load must be 1500 lbs
(680 kg).
1.
Attach a chain to the lift support (figure 11).
2.
Measure the corn attachment opening (figure
12) and adjust if necessary.
IMPORTANT: If the throat sides on the attach-
ment are bent or damaged, it is necessary to
repair them so they will not come in contact
with the feed rolls
3. Slowly move the Forage Harvester toward the
attachment (figure 13), making sure it is well
centered with respect to the connecting pins.
4. Align and adjust the attachment throat sides be-
tween the Forage Harvester sides and the feed
rolls (figure 14).
5. When the attachment is set in place on the For-
age Harvester, put the square lock pins and the
safety pins back in place (figures 15 and 16). It
will be necessary to install two floating springs
and to move the bracket in the middle lifting
hole.
6.
Adjust both balancing springs (figure 17). The
purpose of the balancing springs is to counter-
balance the weight of the attachment either to
slightly touch the ground or ease the attachment
hydraulic lifting to avoid possible obstacles in
the field.
The tension of these springs must be adjusted to
obtain approximately 80-100 lbs (36-45 Kg) at the
end of the fingers.
