Initial Header & Header Drive Setup
• Variable speed header drive (if equipped) in slowest position for draper
headers and direct cut headers.
• Right-h
and pivot drive belt positioned on large countershaft drive sheave.
• Feed chains (
front and rear) should be in high position and fast speed.
• Angle p
ickup header down so pickup attachment and pickup header auger
can breakup clumps of crop material and more evenly feed the feed chains
and lower wind board accordingly.
Tips
• During day in dry conditions, slow the rotor down; at night when
conditions are damp speed rotor up.

separator knives if installed.
Initial Header & Header Drive Setup
• Cutter Bar - In some crops, the material is direct cut so the header should
be set-up accordingly. In many cases, the crop is windrowed and the
material is harvested from the windrow.
• Variable speed header drive in slowest position.
• Right-h
and pivot drive belt positioned on large countershaft drive sheave
and small driven pivot sheave.
Tips
• Optional perforated boot covers on clean grain and tailings elevators may
be used if desired but, can cause cracking in certain conditions.
• Optional slow speed elevator kit may be
used if desired. Order SlowSpeed
Elevator Kit #700963993G for machines built before January 1st 2018.
Kit #71474176G for machines built after December 31st 2017.
Additional Combine Setup
• If cracking of beans still occurs, remove all lugs on front accelerator roll
and leave lugs on rear accelerator roll to move crop. Lugs should be
reinstalled immediately for all other crops.
