• * IMPORTANT: Set chaffer to achieve acceptable grain bin sample.
Opening chaffer can be done anytime. However, due to the nature of
the electronics, closing the chaffer should be done at the end of the
eld after cleanout by completely opening and then closing to the
lower number that you desire and then adjusting up to the desired
chaffer setting.
• Feed chains at slow speed for corn.
Initial Header & Header Drive Setup
• Variable speed header drive hose and coupler should be connected.
• Right-hand pivot drive belt positioned on small countershaft drive
sheave.
Tips
• Use round end corn chaffer for higher moisture corn.
• Use grain chaffer for drier corn.
• Removal of lower sieve will increase capacity in higher yielding, high
moisture corn.
• In high moisture corn with wet green leaves, start at 350 RPM to
optimize performance and eliminate any chance for plugging of
processor with crop residue which could result in rotor loss. Increase
in 20 RPM increments up to a maximum of 400 RPM in these wet
green leaves for desired performance.
