Adjusting Hold-Down Rod Angle
The angle between the fiberglass rods and the hold-down support arms is factory-set to optimize crop flow into the
combine. The factory setting should be satisfactory for most crop conditions, but the rod angle is adjustable.
WARNING
To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected startup of machine, always stop the engine and remove the key from
the ignition before leaving the operator’s seat for any reason.
1. Shut down the engine, and remove the key from the ignition.

3.12.6 Crop Deflectors
When there is a tendency for stems to collect under the hold-down support arm pivot, crop deflectors can be installed.
They are bolted to the frame inside the left endsheet for shipment from the factory and should have been removed at the
dealership during setup and installed or retained by the Operator. Under no circumstances should the header be run until
the crop deflectors are removed from inside the header drive compartment.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the header drive, do NOT operate the header with the crop deflectors bolted in the shipping
location inside the header drive compartment.
Removing Crop Deflectors from Field Position
The crop deflectors may have been installed at the Dealership. Follow this procedure to remove them.
WARNING
To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected startup of machine, always stop the engine and remove the key from
the ignition before leaving the operator’s seat for any reason.
1. Lower the hold-down.
2. Lower the header to the ground.
3. Shut the down combine and remove the key from ignition.
