Plastic driver
To improve the material transport and due to the better
feeding angle, the plastic blocks (K) as shown in the
illustration, must be mounted on all chain drivers via the
enclosed screws.
Attention!
For the harvest of maize, the plastic blocks (K) must be
dismounted.
Stripping row for the sunflower harvest
The holding-down device (N) for the gathering chain is not
shown on opposite illustration.
Prior to mounting the plastic block (K2), first the holding-
down device (N) (see graph on page 35 / 000) to be put in
behind the chain guide such that the pins (B) of the plastic
block secure also the holding-down device (N).
Attention!
For the harvest of maize, the plastic blocks (K) must be
dismounted again.
Ill. N 149 shows the ready sunflower series with holding-
down device.

Change speed gear maize and sunflowers
To get a good function on the harvest of sunflowers, we
recommend to reduce the speed to n= about 470 r/min.
The 2-speed gear (G) has a fixed speed each for maize and
sunflowers.
The speed is selected by shifting the lever
2 ←→ 1
5-speed gear, see page 10 / 600
Important!
For the harvest of sunflowers the working speed should
be as high as possible to allow the sunflowers quickly
falling rearwards into the cross conveying auger without
touching the gathering chains. Check that the stalks are
long enough for allowing such a procedure.
Due to the bodywork form and the real operation
purpose of the header for the harvest of maize, some
small corn losses cannot be avoided, in particular if the
harvest material is very dry.
A

!
The sunflower speeds must not be taken for the harvest
of maize.
Gear to shift in idleness only!
