Fast Solid
• Set concave to stem thickness just below head for starting point.
• Run i
n low range of rotor gearbox for greater torque if possible (S8
Series has greater range to provide ability to run on low side of
gearbox). Running in the low RPM's of the high range will increase
belt slip which reduces belt life.
Initial Header & Header Drive Setup
• Lock up cutterbar on flex headers.
• Variable speed header drive in slowest position.
• Right-h
and pivot drive belt positioned on large countershaft drive
sheave.
• Left separator cage cover should be required for all cereal crops.
Straw Chopper
• Position chopper drive belt so chopper is operating at fast speed.

• IMPORTANT: S
et chaffer to achieve acceptable grain bin sample.
Opening chaffer can be done anytime. However, due to the natureof
the electronics, closing the chaffer should be done at the end of the
field after cleanout by completely opening and then closing to the
lower number that you desire and then adjusting up to the desired
chaffer setting.
Initial Header & Header Drive Setup
• Variable speed header drive hose and coupler should be
connected.
• Right-h
and pivot drive belt positioned on small countershaft
drive sheave.
Tips
• Use round end corn chaffer for higher moisture corn.
• A g
rain chaffer is optional, but corn chaffer is recommended.
• *Removal of lower sieve will increase capacity in higher yielding
corn.
