Maintenance and care
10 / 400
Gathering chains
Prior to winterizing the header, the gathering chains should
be protected against corrosion using an adequate oil.
In the season to follow, the right and left chains should be
changed to get a uniform stress.
Plastic bodywork
The plastic elements do not need a special care.
However, they should be stored free from distortion if the
bodywork is not mounted to the machine.
Ensure that the shield extension rubbers (2) don’t get
deformed.
If required, metal parts are to be protected against
corrosion.
Roller chains
The only roller chain mounted for the cross auger drive
must be kept rustfree when winterizing the header.
The recommendations for the roller chain care to follow.

either upright in the transport rack or on a dry ground.
ll metallic and bright parts should be protected against
corrosion.
Corn header not to store in lifted state
on the combine.
Prevent the combine tires from
unnecessary loads.
