FEEDER OPERATION
Feeder Reverser
The Combine is equipped with a feeder reverser
which is operable when the engine is running. The
operator can move the feeder conveyor in a reverse
direction from the inside of the cab. The feeder
reverser operates as follows:
1. Raise the reel all the way up to lift the header
auger off the auger bottom to provide clearance
for the reverse crop flow.
2. Lift and pull the feeder clutch switch (1) rearward
to the REVERSE position.
3. When the feeder or header is clear of material,
return the feeder clutch switch to the OFF
position.
4. Lower the header to the ground. Engage the
PARKING BRAKE and stop the engine and
remove the key. Remove any obstructions from
the feeder or header.
Automatic Feeder Cutoff (AFC)
If the AFC control is programmed “ON” and the
feeder drive is running, the instrumentation will
monitor the feeder speed and deactivate the feeder
drive if the feeder speed drops below 210 RPM.
If the AFC is programmed “OFF”, at start-up, after the
self-test, “AFC” and “OFF” will be flashed in the
upper tachometer display for 4 seconds. This is a
warning to the operator that if the feeder speed slows
down below 210 RPM it will not disengage
automatically.
