LOCK UP
To “lock up” the Devastator rollers, lower the head down & install a rod through the hole in the mount bracket in front of the
pivot arms. A 5000-430 Lock Pin can be ordered separately to lock up the devastator rollers. 6 row heads require 1 lock pin,
8/12 row heads require 2, 18 row heads require 3.
OPERATION
CORN HEAD ANGLE
NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTED BETWEEN
23
– 25° FOR OPTIMUM DEVASTATATOR PERFORMANCE.
USE THE 5000-455 TO CHECK CORN HEAD ANGLE:
-
Put the combine on a level surface. Lower the
Corn head to your normal working head height.
-
Place the magnetic protractor on the stripper
plate to get the angle. Adjust the feeder house
as needed, fore or aft, to achieve 23
– 25 degrees.
STORAGE/TRANSPORT
-
Head cart may need adjusted to fit the head with devastator correctly. E.g., raising the saddles & top rail on the head cart.
-
When disconnecting from the head, leaving pressure on the torsion pivot of the devastator will not damage the devastator.
BEARING
REPLACEMENT
Put the bearing housing in a vice, use a pry bar to turn the bearing in the housing parallel with the slots, remove the old
bearing, apply anti-seize lubricant to the interior of the bearing housing, insert the new bearing in the slots, & use a pry bar to
move back to position. Wobble the bearing around to help work the lubricant into the outer race of the bearing.
