Lower Snout Cone to Corn Snout Installation
Nose Mount
1.
The next step is to mount the nose mount onto the corn snout. The Snout Cone should be assembled and securely
mounted to the cross arm located at the rear of the corn head. Adjust the angle/height of the Snout Cone to the end snout
of the corn head. The adjustment is made by raising or lowering the extension arm. Be sure to have clearance as the
Snout Cone rotates. When the angle/height is satisfactory, place the bolts from the extension arm so that it will be locked
in place for now.
2.
Use the nose plate as a template to mark the holes that will have to be drilled into the corn snout.
3.
Mark the hole placement in the middle of each slotted hole as this will allow for some adjustment when installing.
4.
Using a 7/16" drill bit, drill the holes for the bolts
5.
After the holes are drilled, realign the nose mount with the holes and place the 3/8" carriage bolts, the 3/8" flat washers,
and two 3/8" nylock nuts. Install the cone to snout back attachment brace.
6.
Tighten the fasteners. Please note, access holes may need to be installed on the bottom side of some corn snouts to be
able to reach to install and tighten the nuts.
7.
Install the nose cone bearing guard using a 3/8" x 1" carriage bolt, flat washer and nylock nut.
8.
After the nose mount fasteners are tightened, put the Snout Cone into the float position for field operation. Please see
Floating Snout Cone Setup.
9.
Repeat installation for the other side.
10. When both Snout Cones are installed, install the hydraulics. Please see the hydraulics section.
