Pre-Operation Adjustments
Level Crop Sweeper
1.
Adjust the fore and aft cylinders so that the main tube is as far down in the arc as
possible (approximately in the middle of the cycle).
2.
Use threaded adjustment on Lift Cylinder rods (#4) page 22 and adjust reel up or down
to give approximately 2” to 4” above gathering chains. If this does not work, flip the
Lower Link Plates (#1) and (#2) upside down or right side up to move the bottom
cylinder pin hole up or down by a 1/2” or move up or down 1 complete hole. If this is
still not enough adjustment, move Bearing Holder Plates (#7) up or down as needed.
Check Machine before Operating
1.
Raise machine up and down to make sure it clears the cab in the up position and
gathering chains in the down position. Adjust again if necessary as described above in
“Level Crop Sweeper.”
2.
Cycle the Fore and Aft to assure paddles move in and out and do not hit the snouts.
3.
Engage combine to run Sweeper (reel) motor, adjust speed of Sweeper with combine
reel speed control.
4.
Use the Crop Sweeper control box to control Stripper Plates, Reel Fore/Aft, Up/Down
and On/Off. (Sweeper On/Off control valve (CSP12C) is optional.)
