Snout Cone Clamp/Mount Installation
Locate the Cross Arm. Mount the Cross Arm to the Mid-Mount
using 2, 1/2" x 2" x 2" u-bolts with 4, 1/2" flat washers, 4, 1/2" lock
washers, and 4, 1/2" nuts. Position the Cross Arm that allows the
Snout Cone to be mounted in the center of the end snout of the corn
head. Tighten the fasteners when positioned correctly.
Locate the correct pre-assembled Snout Cone for the corresponding
side of the corn head (right hand for right side and left hand for left
side). The motor and bearing plate will attach to the cross arm using
2, 1/2" x 2" x 2" u-bolts with 4, 1/2" flat washer, lock washers and
nuts.
Some setups may be better if the motor and bearing plate are
mounted below the cross arm. Be sure there is clearance for the
Snout Cone if the motor is mounted this way. The hydraulic motor
ports will still need to be up, so remove the four attachment bolts for
the bearing plate on the motor, turn the bearing bracket 180 degrees
and reinsert the four attachment bolts. The mounting plate will now
be facing up with the hydraulic motor ports. Tighten all the fasteners.
Align the snout cone so that the center of the snout cone is in align
with the center of the end corn snout. Also, set the desired height of
the Snout Cone by moving the 1/2" bolts that are holding the initial
angle at the extension arm and the mid-mount. Be sure to have
clearance between the Snout Cone and the corn snout as it is
mounted.
