  • Page 19 MOUNTING ON THE COMBINE Next, attach the drive shaft couplers. The spare parts list shows the coupler elements of the corn head, which suit the type of combine as listed. The shaft of the folding corn head is adjusted at the factory to align with the feeder shaft. Please check the shaft alignment and adjust it if it is necessary, (except for New Holland type).
  • Page 20 MOUNTING ON THE COMBINE To prevent the rotation of the universal drive shaft shield, attach both original chain restraints to the corn head. The drive shaft/coupler shields of the 6-row folding corn head are shown in the spare parts list. These shields must be adjusted and installed correctly.

  • Page 21: Run-In Procedure

    RUN-IN PROCEDURE RUN-IN PROCEDURE A 20 minutes trial run is suggested after the initial mounting. Start the combine and engage the drive with the engine speed at low idle, and run it slowly. Avoid starting the drive at high speed as the inertia from accelerating can increase the load by 8-10 times more than the full steady speed operational load.

  • Page 22: Setup Procedure And Adjustment Of The Corn Head

    SETUP AND ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE SETUP PROCEDURE AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE CORN HEAD 1. Frame The fixed frame machines are provided with parking stands, which must always be used when the machine is to be disconnected from the combine. Before detaching the corn head from the combine, adjust the parking stand position such that the distance between the ground and the lower support of the corn head is about 30 cm (12 inches).
  • Page 23 SETUP AND ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE In some conditions it may be necessary to change the speed of the gathering auger. An additional sprocket is available to permit changing the auger speed to match field conditions. Two types of flighting are available to satisfy the combine and field requirements. Finger Type Auger Type 3.
  • Page 24 SETUP AND ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE A security pin is provided for the latch of the drive shields and side shield. This pin should never be removed. To open the shield, first release the security pin using a tool as shown. Snapping units A schematic in the parts book shows the arrangement of snapping unit for the various row spacing.
  • Page 25 SETUP AND ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE 4.1.2. Setting labyrinth seal A needle bearing is used to support the spiral end of the snapping roll. Two gasket rings and labyrinth seal protect it. This seal is effective only if the distance between the stationary bearing block and the rotating snapping roll is not larger than 1 mm (.04 inches) 4.1.3.
  • Page 26 SETUP AND ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE 4.2. Snapping plate settings The basic factory setting is 27-32 mm (1-1/16 to 1-1/4 inches). Essentially, the snapping plate spacing should be 5 mm (3/16 inches) closer at the front end than at the rear end. The central snapping plate adjusting mechanism can change the spacing from the nominal position 6 mm closer together and 10 mm farther apart.
  • Page 27 SETUP AND ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE 4.3. Adjustment of vine knives The knives are made of spring steel and are hardened. If the adjustment is correct, material will be prevented from wrapping on the snapping roll. The maximum gap between the vine knife and the stalk roll is 0.5 mm (.04 inches). This gap should be set on one rib and all rib clearances should be checked by the rotation of the roll to ensure no interference.
  • Page 28 SETUP AND ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE 4.4. Setting the chain tension of the gathering chain. The basic setting of the plastic sprocket's tension spring length is 150 mm (6 in). The elongation of the chain will increase this value. It should be reset after 180-200 hours of operation if working in severe conditions.
  • Page 29 SETUP AND ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE PTO Shafts (Universal drive shafts) Corn heads are provided with "Bondioli and Pavesi" PTO shafts. The PTO shafts are fitted with friction safety clutch, which must be set at the beginning of each season. The reason for this is that the friction safety clutch can seize after prolonged period of inoperation, and therefore may not provide torque limiting.

  • Page 31 SETUP AND ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE Adjustment of the snout (Steel and Plastic Snouts) See the photo below (steel snouts shown). The corn head should be positioned with the combine feeder house such that the distance between the skid shoe of the snapping unit and the ground is 8 cm (3 ¼ “) with sliding skid shoe of the snout just touching the ground.
  • Page 32 SETUP AND ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE The height of snout's skid plate (steel snouts only) can be changed if conditions justify.

  • Page 35 HARVESTING  After 1 hour of initial operation, stop the machine, remove the combine engine key, and check the following: - Temperature of the drive gearboxes, - Loose hardware, - The tightness of the chain General visual inspection If this inspection reveals any abnormal result, look for the cause of the abnormality or contact your dealer.

  • Page 36: Row Spacing Adjustment

    ROW SPACING ADJUSTMENT ROW SPACING ADJUSTMENT Matching of the corn head row-spacing to the corn rows is necessary for optimum performance, and of especially greater importance with wider corn heads. Improper matching can result in pre-mature wearing of the snapping roll nose supports, and the leading edges of the snapping plates.
