Roll Timing

Figure 3.79: Properly Timed Rolls
For proper conditioning, the rolls must be properly timed with
the bar on one roll centered between two bars on the other
roll. The factory setting should be suitable for most crop
conditions.
IMPORTANT:
Roll timing is critical when the roll gap is decreased because
conditioning is affected and the bars may contact each other.
Checking Roll Timing
Check roll timing if excessive noise is coming from the conditioner rolls.
DANGER
To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected startup of the machine, always stop the engine and remove the key
from the ignition before leaving the operator

Roll timing is factory-set and should not require adjustment; however, if there is excessive noise coming from the
conditioner rolls, the timing may need to be adjusted. For instructions, refer to
Adjusting Roll Timing, page 57
