HP 5 OPERATOR’S MANUAL
CONVEYOR AND ROLLER ADJUSTMENT
When installing replacement belts position the V-guide on the inside of the belt so that it rides in the
center of the V-groove in the roller. All conveyors should run straight and evenly across roller
surfaces without binding or scuffing the side frame. Procedure for proper adjustment is listed below:
1. Determine the cause of malfunction.
NOTE: Belts may stretch somewhat during the break-in period and may require tension
adjustment.
2. Loosen bearing plate on Row Crop Head lower conveyor or internal conveyor. Not necessary on
pinch belt roller.
3. Locate the adjustment assembly on either side of roller.
4. Loosen the stop nuts along the threaded rod and draw or extend the rod to obtain the desired
adjustment.
5. Should the conveyor run to one side, extend the threaded rod on that side to correct.
6. Proper Tension - Adjust tension so that all slack is removed and the belt runs evenly. Avoid
over-tightening.
7. Retighten all jam nuts securely. Tighten bearing plate bolts if loosened in step #2.
NOTE: Over tightening the belt can cause laces to pull apart or break rollers.
HIGH PRESSURE WASHING
(Water and Mild Solvent)
High pressure cleaning with water and mild solvent is advisable provided the following points are
observed.
1. Lightly wash entire machine with solution to float abrasive particles off the machine, which might
otherwise be blown into bearings and other critical surfaces as the cleaning procedure continues. A
recommended safe distance is at least 2 to 3 feet between nozzle and machine.
2. Avoid close contact of nozzle to machine (less than 12" to 15"), as high pressure jet stream at
this distance imparts a cutting action which will lift and remove paint. In addition, close nozzle
contact may also blow grease from bearings and other lubricated surfaces, leaving exposed parts
susceptible to rust and wear.
NOTE: Grease lubricatable bearings and other lubricated surfaces, after washing
and run machine for a short period to aid in moisture removal.
3. Engine may be washed totally, but avoid trapping moisture in electrical components, and do not
wash a "hot" engine with cold water, as the differential in temperature could cause cracking of
exhaust manifold and other cast components.
4. Mild solvents of a non-flammable nature may be suitable for cleaning, provided manufacturer's
specs are compatible with alkyd enamels, rubber, and plastics as used on the self-propelled
combine units.
