9.6 Clearing a fan blockage
If a clump of crop or foreign object has become entangled in the fan, first remove the
unblocking lever from its storage position. This lever is stored above the gear selection,
at the front of the machine. To release the unblocking lever, raise the safety latch (A),
whilst rotating the lever counter-clockwise 180°. Then, slide/retract the lever to the left
to release it.
Safety latch and unblocking lever
Select neutral by moving the gear selection lever to the central position. Rotate the
cover disc (180°) until you can insert the unblocking lever and pull down, as shown
below, to jack the fan backwards until the blockage is cleared. Never put fingers into
the jack back point! Once the fan is rotating freely, remove the unblocking lever and
place it back into its storage position securely, using the reverse order of removal and
spin the cover disc 180° shut and select the required fan gear.
