UPPER CRACKER ROLL PRESSURE AND GAP
ADJUSTMENT - FIGURE 236
The operator can select the silage condition by varying
the pressure and gap of the upper cracker roll (item 1).
1. Adjust the pressure using the handle (item 3).
2. Turn the left-hand spring threaded rod (item 4) until
a 1/16” (1.5 ) space is obtained between the spring
coils.
NOTE: A mesh keeps a uniform gap across the cracker
rolls.
3. Adjust the upper roll gap by tightening the self-lock-
ing nut (item 5) on the vertical adjusting rods (item
6).
Example: If the right-hand arrow (item 8) on the right-
hand decal (item 7) is pointing to the number 2 (as
shown below), the left-hand arrow (item 9) must also
point to the number 2. This is important to respect the
parallelism between the corn cracker rolls (items 1 and
2). The rods (item 6) have the same tension.
NOTE: The gap between the rolls is the main adjust-
ment to control how much the silage is crushed.
