20.10 - Dividers
20.10.1 - Locking Dividers
The crop dividers are locked in place from the
factory using the following components on each
crop divider:
•
1 of 1/2’ x 2-1/2” UNC Grade 5 Bolt
•
2 of 1/2” SAE Washer
•
1 of 1/2” UNC Grade A Nut
The divider can be locked into two positions
indicated by the arrows below.

20.10.2 - Divider Spring Float Setting
If desired, the crop dividers can be unlocked to
allow them to move up and down following the
terrain.
Floating dividers are generally detrimental to
header performance and increase the risk of
header damage in the event that the divider
drops into a hole.
The crop divider float spring settings should be
adjusted so the divider acts just heavy enough to
follow the ground without riding up on top of the
crop material.
If the divider bounces up and down, the spring
float is set too light.
The recommend ‘weight’ of the divider will vary by
crop conditions and will need to be adjusted for
your application.
To adjust the float, simply remove the divider
cover and:
•
Tighten the bolt to increase float (make the
divider act lighter)
•
Loosen the bolt to decrease float (make
the divider act heavier)
