A
Lean Bar
Height should be set at 2/3 (two-thirds) of the crop height.
In crops over 1.52 m (5 ft.), an optional Tall Crop Divider kit (MD #B4690) is available that
includes lean bar extensions to raise the lean bar.
B
Skid Shoe
Cutting height is controlled with a combination of skid shoes or gauge rollers, and header
angle adjustment—
NOT
with the header lift cylinders.
Adjust as follows:
1. Remove clevis pin (X).
2. Adjust skid shoe (B).
3. Install clevis pin (X).
C
Center Baffle
Use full raised position for narrower windrows.
Lower 1 or 2 notches to prevent crop from being projected over forming shield.
Use fully lowered position for maximum swath width.
D
Reel Cam
The reel cam at the right end of the reel controls the aggressiveness of the reel tines which
affect the crop flow into the auger.
To change reel tine aggressiveness, loosen bolts securing cam disc to end sheet. Tighten
bolts after adjusting cam disc. Refer to the header operator’s manual.
To increase tine aggressiveness, turn front adjuster bolt to lower the front of cam disc and
turn the rear adjuster bolt to raise the rear of cam disc. Turn bolts by equal amounts.
To decrease tine aggressiveness, turn front adjuster bolt to raise the front of cam disc and
turn rear adjuster bolt to lower rear of cam disc. Turn bolts by equal amounts.
E
Rear Baffle
Raise or lower baffle to adjust the angle.
NOTE:
SP rear baffle has handles that must be loosened to move the baffle.
Lower positions create fluffy windrows. If baffle is too low, an uneven windrow may result.
When using the DWA (SP), position rear baffle in highest position.
If necessary, lower the left side to direct crop onto the DWA belt.
F
Forming Shield
Adjustment
Remove hairpin, and lower or raise shield with straps to the desired height. Install hairpin.
Generally, the fourth hole from the top is a good starting position.
Lower the shield if crop is not hitting the top cover.
Use highest position with the DWA (Remove center deflectors to improve
crop flow to DWA).
G
Forming Shield
Deflectors
Adjust both side deflectors to the same hole position to ensure windrow placement is
centered with respect to carrier/drive wheels.
H
Reel Position
Maintain 2
–
10 mm (3/32
–
13/32 in.) clearance between reel tines and pan.
Reel can be moved forward to improve crop lifting action in lodged crops, or rearward for
lighter crop conditions.
J
Auger to
Stripper Bar
Clearance
Maintain proper clearance between auger flighting and stripper bars.
Refer to the header operator’s manual.
