9960 Self-Propelled Peanut Combine Performance
MAN091 06/03/05 121
10% Speed Reduction
This control should be used when less
aggressive picking action is desired. The 10%
speed reduction will normally aid in
performance when the peanuts are very dry or
brittle.
Starting Position: Always begin harvesting
with the 10% speed reduction control in the full
clockwise position, delivering full speed.
Adjustments: If, when the picking control
board and breast spring bars are completely
disengaged and/or the springs removed,
peanuts are being removed from the vines
well, but shelling is still occurring, it may be
desirable to reduce the engine speed. This
will slow the picking cylinders for less
aggressive thrashing of the peanuts.
To reduce engine speed, turn the knob
counterclockwise.
Cylinder Speed
Starting Position: The cylinder speed should
initially be set at 180 RPM.
Adjustments: The cylinder speed should be
increased for tough conditions or if peanuts
are being left on the vines. Increasing cylinder
speed increases aggressiveness. The
cylinder speed should be decreased if
conditions are dry and peanuts are susceptible
to damage or if shelling is occurring. Cylinder
speed should not be decreased below 130
RPM.
Press and hold the top part of the switch for
higher RPM. Press and hold the bottom of the
switch for lower RPM.
The tachometer readout displays the RPM of
the fourth cylinder. Do NOT operate the
cylinder speed below 130 RPM with the
engine at full operating speed (2500 RPM).
