ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Step 4:
Insert the shim washer over the shaft on each end of the roller. Install the bearing over the shaft on each
end of the roller so that the side of the casting that has the bearing protruding past the housing surface is towards
the roller barrel & shim washer. Lift each roller into place so that the bolt holes on the cast line up with the
mounting tabs on the roller arm mount tube. Install the ½” X 2 ½” bolts and tighten the ½” lock nuts. Once the
roller & bearing hardware is fastened, spin the roller to ensure the bearing was installed correctly. If the roller was
installed incorrectly, the roller will not spin or will have drag. Slide the roller mount tube to gain clearance on each
end of the corn head, center the traction bar under the row as much as possible, & then tighten the hardware from
Step 3
. In some circumstances, the traction bar may have to be off-center of the row some.
Step 5: (If Applicable)
On chopping corn heads, trim 3 inches off the bottom of the back curtain to keep the
roller from contacting curtain & allow better residue flow.
NOTE:
Make sure the chopping blades are sharp enough to size the residue into smaller pieces for better
flow between the back curtain & roller mount tube.
NOTE: AFTER FASTENING THE MOUNTING HARDWARE
FOR THE BEARINGS, SPIN EACH ROLLER BY HAND TO
MAKE SURE EACH ROLLER SPINS FREELY.
