2.7 Distributor Roller Adjustments
1. Starting with the distributor at the #1 bin position and the back end drive motor
turned off, telescope the distributor inward so that it is at its minimum length.
2. Position the front lower adjustable roller in its lowest position so that the distance
between the roller and the carriage tube is at its maximum. (See Figure 2-11.)
Figure 2-11
3. Bring the rear adjustable roller down until there is a noticeable drag against the
carriage tube when you turn the roller. (Too much drag could prevent the distributor
from extending.)
4. Adjust the upper front adjustable roller until the trip rod tube and carriage tubes are
parallel to each other.
5. Position the front lower adjustable roller up until it just makes contact with the
carriage tube.
6. Recheck the rear adjustable roller to ensure that it is not exerting too much
pressure against the carriage tube. Adjust if necessary.
7. Adjust the length of the cable assembly (Figure 2-12) so that the clearance between
the nylon rollers and the trip rod tube is approximately 1/16 inch (Figure 2-11) and
is the same in all positions of the distributor.
8. Operate the distributor under power and observe. As necessary, fine-tune the
rollers and trip cable.
