20 - Service & Adjustment
The header contains many high speed mechanical
components. If these components become
damaged, it is extremely important that they be
repaired as soon as possible. Running equipment
with misaligned or damaged parts can cause
additional damage to surrounding components, as
well as increase the risk of fire.
20.1 - Fasteners
During operation, vibration can loosen fasteners
on various components of your header. Parts with
thinner metal such as safety shields tend to vibrate
more than other parts, so particular care must be
taken to ensure they are firmly secured.
Always ensure that all fasteners are torqued to the
proper specifications (see
page 143) Apply thread
lock compound when necessary.
20.2 - Permanent Bushings
Inspect sealed bearings and permanent bushings
every 200 hours of operation and replace as
necessary.
See section
138 for bushing
locations.
Only the main reel permanent bushing can be
lubricated. Do not lubricate the other permanent
bushings. These bushings are self-lubricating.
Added grease will drastically shorten their
lifespan.
20.3 - Reel/Feed Auger Speed
Sensor Adjustment
The speed sensors on the header are adjusted to
their optimal position in the factory but may require
adjustment if they are replaced or serviced.
In order for the speed sensors to work properly, they
must be 0.90-0.95mm (0.035-0.037 in.) away from
the surface they are measuring.
For each sensor, 1 full rotation of the adjuster nut
equals approximately 1 mm of travel, so to get the
best distance, screw in the sensor until it is just
touching its measuring surface then back it off 90-
95% of a turn.
