INITIAL SETTINGS
The settings listed in this section are the suggested settings to be used when starting each harvest season.
Adjustments can then be made to best suit the conditions being operated in. The head angle and head speed are
the most critical to maintaining performance of the corn head. Before going to the field each year all settings
shown should be checked to verify that the head is set properly.
CORN HEAD ANGLE
The corn head angle is measured from the deck plates and should be
between 17° and 23° for non-chopping heads and 21° to 23° for chopping
heads.
- For normal operation the recommended setting is 20°-21°
- For down corn the recommended setting is 23°
To check the head angle, park the combine with the corn head attached,
on a flat, level surface, and place the corn head in operating position.
Place an angle finder on the deck plates to check the angle.
Whenever the corn head angle is adjusted the snout angle should be
adjusted as well.
See Section 6.1 in the Operators Manual for further information.
