5.4 Modification for grass harvesting C3000
Special checks before using for grass harvesting
1. Drive with a maximum of 6 blades only (as new a set as possible). See Table 26
2. Remove all other blades, blade holders and elevator paddles.
3. Tighten all the screws on the blade wheel with a torque wrench.
Blade holders and elevator paddles = M20 = 360 Nm
Blade fastening screws = M 12 = 130 Nm
4. Sharpen the blades and adjust the blade wheel
Difference to ledger plate = 0.2-0.5 mm. See Illustration 22/23
5. Check ledger plate and turn-over or replace if necessary. Shorten both, install and
bundle the side ledger plates ensuring there are no spaces between them. (Illustration
21) Tighten all screws!
6. Rotate the elevator paddles if the edges are excessively rounded.
7. Replace damaged elevator paddles immediately.
8. Check both smooth wear bases in the chopping unit. Replace if necessary.
Pick-up attachment intake speed
The pick-up should not be operated faster than necessary. This will reduce unnecessary
wear. The infeed setting of 4 produces a cutting length of 11. increased cutting lengths
can be achieved by evenly removing the chopping blades, beating arms and elevator
paddles.
The PT0 shaft connection is from B2 to D. (Pick-up drive). The PT0 shaft connection is
from B1 to D when in feed 3 is used for harvesting. The revolutions of the pick-up and
the auger can be further reduced by changing from B 1 to B 2 when driving speed and
crop allow.
