The CA25 feed auger has an adjustable spring tensioning system that allows the auger to float on the crop instead
of crushing and damaging it. The tension is set at factory setting and is adequate for most crop conditions.
If nece ssary, adjust the auger tension springs as follow s:
1. Raise header to full height, shut down combine, and
remove key from ignition.
2. Engage header lift cylinder safety props.
3. Loosen upper jam nut (A) on spring tensioner.
4. Turn lower nut (B) to decrease tension until length
of protruding thread (C) on tensioner decreases
1–1-3/8 in. (25–35 mm) from its original position.
5. Tighten jam nut (A).
