On Triple Delivery Headers with hydraulically
shifted decks, the deck stops must be
repositioned after
an
adjustment
to
delivery
opening width, as follows:
Start engine and engage header clutch. Move
deck shift switch
to
the right to shift left deck
towards right deck. Disengage header clutch
when there
is
approximately 2 inches (50
mm) clearance between the rollers of the two
decks.
IMPORTANT: This clearance
is
required
to
prevent contact between draper connectors or
slats as they pass between decks.
Stop engine. Remove bolts (F) at left deck
stop and move the stop against motor bracket
(G). Replace bolts (F).
Start engine and engage header clutch. Move
deck shift switch
to
the left to move left deck
back to left position and move right deck
towards left deck, again disengaging clutch
when clearance
is
about 2 inches (50 mm).
Stop engine and position right deck stop
as
above.
NOTE:
An
alternate method
of
setting the
deck stops is to shift decks to the center
delivery position, then measure the distance
the deck must travel to reach the 2 inch
-(50
mm) clearance position. Set the deck stop the
same distance from the motor bracket.
