Snout Cone Clamp/Mount Installation
Please see the Snout Cone Clamps/Mounts to correctly identify the mount
that came with the kit. A John Deere mount is shown for instructional
purposes.
1.
Install the mount onto the corn head. Place the mount close to where it
will be needed. The snout cone will run in the middle of the outside
corn snout of the corn head. Install the mount so that this action can be
accomplished.
2. Tighten the mount in place. The mount may need to be adjusted later
when mounting the snout cone to get it aligned in the middle of the
corn snout.
3. When the mount is in the correct position, be sure to tighten the lock
nuts.
1.
Mount the extension arm to the clamp assembly using 2, 1/2 x 5-1/2"
bolts, 4, 1/2" flat washers, and 2, 1/2" nylock nuts. Place the extension
arm in the middle of the adjustment area for mounting purposes,
adjustments can be made here to get the correct clearance for the snout
cone to the snout. Once the snout cones are fully installed, they will be
put into a floating position so they move with the corn head.
2.
Adjustments can be made as the Snout Cones are installed. Once again,
the Snout Cones will be placed in floating mode when installation is
complete.
1.
Locate the Mid-mount and attach it to the Extension Arm using 2, 1/2" x
5-1/2" bolts, 4, 1/2" flat washers, and 2, 1/2" nylock nuts.
2.
This is another adjustment point. To continue with installation, the
angle of this mount should be parallel to the angle of the corn snout.
This angle will enable the Snout Cones to be parallel to the corn snout as
well. Adjustments can be made as installation continues as well. Also,
this adjustment point will be put into float position when installation is
complete.
