Figure 4.97: R116 PT Cutterbar Accelerators
Accelerators (A) are mounted on each outboard disc and are
designed to quickly move cut material off the disc and into the
conditioner.
One pair of accelerators is installed at each outboard end of an
R113 PT, whereas an R116 PT has two pairs at each end.
Periodically inspect accelerators for damage and loose or
missing fasteners, and replace as necessary.
IMPORTANT:
Always replace accelerators in pairs to ensure proper disc
balance.
