Page 12: Operating The System
In most cases, shatter loss can be reduced further with the ability to set the finger reel higher than if an AirBar system is not used. When entering the crop, begin with the reel the “normal” height and begin to raise the reel until you see a decrease in performance. -
Page 13: Nozzle Rotation Adjustment
AWS AirBar Operator’s Manual NOZZLE ROTATION ADJUSTMENT The most important adjustment affecting the performance of your AirBar system is the position of the nozzles. The nozzles should be aimed so that the air blast contacts the head 2” – 5” behind the knife. -
