Frequently clean the machine to avoid damage.
  • Page 24: Row Finder

    6.8 Row Finder Amity harvesters have the option of a hydraulic row finder attachment. The Row finder helps keep the lifter struts di- rectly in line with crop rows. Figure 25: Row Finder 6.9 Digging Depth Digging depth varies with soil and crop conditions. Three inches (7.62 cm) is a good starting point.
  • Page 25: Scrapers

    6.11 Scrapers Scrapers keep the Lifter Wheels clean by removing mud and dirt off the wheels. In turn, the Lifter Wheels are able to turn freely and lift beets. Amity lifting struts are available with two types of scrapers, Top or Bottom. Bottom scrapers come standard with the Single Plate Strut.
  • Page 26: Rear Grabroll Bed

    6.14.2 Rear Grabroll Bed: The rear grabrolls provide ad- ditional cleaning while transferring beets to the rear, center of the harvester to discharge them into the scrub. As with the front grabroll bed, the smooth grabrolls are spring mounted to allow relief for rocks as they pass over the rolls.
  • Page 27: Scrub Chain

    6.17 Scrub Chain The scrub chain lifts beets from the rear grabrolls to the tank. The inside chain typically runs faster than the outside chain providing additional cleaning. NOTE: The larger the difference in the chain speed, the greater the chance of additional damage to the beets. Figure 36: Scrub Chain 6.18 Machine Shutdown 1.
  • Page 28: Adjustments

    7.0 ADJUSTMENTS 7.1 Manual Leveling 1. Raise the rear of the harvester with the hydraulic cylinders. 2. Add or remove cylinder stops as necessary. 3. Lower the rear of the harvester onto the stops. NOTE: A 1 in. (2.5 cm) stop in a rear cylinder provides approximately 1 in. (2.5 cm) of lift in the cor- responding front side.
  • Page 29: Pinch Point Position

    7.3 Pinch Point Position The pinch point position can be adjusted by spacer (G), part number 50139. In muddy conditions, roll the pinch point forward by adding spacers. This will pop the beet faster with less mud. For dry or hard digging conditions, roll the pinch point back by removing spacers giv- ing the wheels a longer time to lift the beet and reduce breakage in the ground.
