Problem Solution
Refer to
Vines and plants build up on endsheet
Install divider rod
3.7.11 Crop Dividers, page 70
Symptom: Plant vines pinched between top of draper and cutterbar
Cutterbar fills with debris when draper
to cutterbar gap is properly adjusted
Raise header fully at each end of field
(or as required) and shift decks back
and forth to help clean out cutterbar
—
Shifting the decks with header raised
does not clean out cutterbar debris.
Manually remove debris from
cutterbar cavity to prevent damaging
the drapers
—
Symptom: Crop accumulating at guards and not moving rearward onto drapers
Reel finger pitch not aggressive
enough
Increase finger aggressiveness (cam
position)
