4.14 Stripper Bars

Figure 4.48: Right Stripper Bar
There are two adjustable stripper bars installed on the pan
at both ends of the auger that minimize wrapping of material
around the auger. The factory position should be
satisfactory for most crops, but bars can be adjusted for
specific conditions.
For fine stemmed crop, the auger performs best when the
stripper bars are positioned as close as possible to the
auger without rubbing.
Component wear and cutting in bumpy terrain where the
auger can contact the stripper bar may cause clearances to
become excessive resulting in feeding problems and
uneven windrows.
If material starts to accumulate between the auger flighting
and the strippers, the gap will need to be adjusted.
NOTE:
The stripper bars will likely require adjustment if the auger position is changed.
4.14.1 Adjusting the Stripper Bar
If necessary, adjust the stripper bar as follows:
