3.6.1
Setting Lean Bar
Figure 3.82: Auger Header Lean Bar
Use the lean bar adjustment to accommodate different crop
heights. The lean bar (A) should strike the upper portion of
the crop (roughly 2/3 of the crop height), leaning it away
from the header, and exposing the stalks to the knife.
IMPORTANT:
To prevent structural damage to the header, do
NOT
operate
with lean bar removed.
To extend or retract lean bar (A), reposition hardware in
adjustment holes as required.
In crops over 1.52 m (5 ft.) high, an optional tall crop divider
kit (MD #B4690) is available that includes lean bar
extensions to raise the lean bar. For more information refer
to
3.11.1 Adjusting Tall Crop Dividers, page 94
3.6.2
Adjusting Auger Speed
An A40 auger header features a hydraulic direct drive auger with operating speed range of 230 to 320 rpm, and is
controlled from the operator
’
s station on the self-propelled windrower.
For instructions, refer to your windrower operator
’
s manual.
3.6.3
Adjusting Reel Speed
An A40 auger header features a hydraulic direct drive reel with operating speed ranges of 50 to 85 rpm for M100,
M105, M200, M205, as well as M1170 and M1240 models with standard reel configuration.
Operating speed ranges of 15 to 85 rpm are available for M150, M155, M155
E4
, as well as M1170 and M1240
models with reel variable speed kit installed.
NOTE:
A40DX GSS headers are factory fitted with reel variable speed option.
For instructions, refer to your windrower operator
’
s manual.
3.6.4
Setting Auger Position
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury, before servicing header or opening drive covers, follow procedures in .
Auger position has been factory-set, and should not normally require adjustment.
For nearly all conditions, the auger performs best when set as close as possible to the stripper bars without
rubbing. This is especially important in grass and other crops that have a tendency to wrap.
Component wear may cause clearances to become excessive, resulting in feeding problems and uneven
windrows.
To make adjustments to auger position, refer to these sections depending on your equipment:
