MAINTENANCE AN D SERVICING
5.7 Auger
The CA25 Combine Adapter auger feeds the cut crop from the draper decks into the combine feeder house.
5.7.1 Adjusting Auger to Pan Clearance
IMPORTAN T:
An appropriate distance must be maintained between the auger and the auger pan. Too little clearance may result
in the tines or flighting contacting and damaging the draper or feed pan under certain orientations of the header.
Look for evidence of contact when greasing the adapter.
To adjust the
auger pan clearance, follow these steps:
1. Extend cent
er-link to maximum for steepest header angle, and position the header 6–10 in. (150–254 mm) off
the ground.
2. Lock header
wings. Refer to Locking/Unlocking Header Wings, page 64.
DANGER
To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected start-up of m achine, always stop engine and remove key
from ignition before leaving operator’s seat for any reason.
3. Shut down combine and remove key from ignition.
4. Check that float lock linkage is on down stops
(washer [A] and nut [B] cannot be moved) at both
locations.
