OPERATING VARIABLES
Satisfactory function of the header and hay
conditioner in all situations requires making proper
adjustments to suit various crops and conditions.
Correct operation reduces crop loss and allows
cutting of more acres. As well, proper adjustments
and timely maintenance will increase the length of
service you receive from the machine.
The variables listed here and detailed on the
following pages will affect the performance of the
header and conditioner. You will quickly become
adept at adjusting the machine to give you the
desired results.
LEAN BAR POSITION
IMPORTANT: To prevent structural damage to
header, do not operate with lean bar removed.
Use the lean bar adjustment to accommodate
different crop heights.
The lean bar should strike the upper portion of
crop, leaning it away from the header and
exposing the stalks to the sickle.
To raise or lower lean bar, re-position hardware
(A) in adjustment holes as required.
NOTE: In very tall crops, to prevent pinning of crop
around lean bar, extensions are available. See
"Tall Crop Kit" in Attachments section.
