7 Setup procedure
We suggest a 20 minutes trial run after the initial mounting. After starting the com-
bine, the drive of the corn head should be kept in the lowest speed and then run it
slowly. Avoid starting the drive on high speed because accelerating the inertia will
cause 8-10 times more load than that of a full load and this may cause damage to
the drive system and safety clutches. After the slow start increase the speed to a
medium level. Make sure that no clicking can be heard while the machine is in op-
eration. If no irregularity is observed the speed should be increased to maximum
level and should be run at this speed for about 10 minutes. When the trial run has
been completed, the temperature of the drive elements, screws and drive units
should be checked (max. 40-60°C)!
