RATCHET STOP

Fig. 5-8 The metal detector's stop system is integrated in the transmission for the feed intake
system. The system consists of a pawl A and a ratchet wheel B and is activated by a
coil C. The system is activated when metal is detected in the feed intake section and
the coil gets a signal from the electronics which brings the pawl A in mesh with the
ratchet wheel B and the feed intake section is blocked

WARNING:
The distance between pawl and wheel has been supplied correctly adjusted from the
factory. If readjustment is necessary, this is done using adjusting screw E on the coil
C.

The distance between the pawl and the wheel MUST be S= 1-2
mm because the distance determines the response time of the
system in the event of metal detection.
Too great a distance may mean that a metal object can reach the
blade rotor before the feed intake stops and cause serious
damage to the harvester.
