  • Page 20: Installation

     Comply with the correct sequence before fitting any form of seal 4.1 General transport Transport on a HGV When transporting the cornheader on a HGV, al- ways use the ZIEGLER transport frame. Secure the cornheader against falling down using tensioning belts in accordance with the locally-valid regulations.
  • Page 21: Unpacking The Cornheader

    The transport frame is designed in such as way that the cornheader can be secured to the frame so as to prevent it falling out. You can use the ZIEGLER transport frame to transport the cornheader with a forklift truck. We recommend driving at a walking pace.
  • Page 22 The machine may only be transported by a forklift truck using the Ziegler transport frame. Fig. 12 Placing down the cornheader Hook a vertical cornheader as depicted in Fig. 13 and position the forks of the forklift truck on point A.
  • Page 23: Attaching The Cornheader

    INSTALLATION 4.3 Attaching the cornheader Adaption to the harvester Place the cornheader on the parking supports. Check the correctness of the adaption parts. Move the harvester to the picker. Lift up the picker with the feeder channel. Check the correct position of the adaption (A). The presence of persons between the harvester and the cornheader is imper- missible during the connection.
  • Page 24: Cornheader Drive

    INSTALLATION Additional weights Depending on the weight of the installed cornhead- er, additional weights may be required on the steer- ing shaft of the harvester. The dimensions of these additional weights are specified in the motor vehicle certification of the combine harvester handbook.
  • Page 25: Hydraulic Connections

    INSTALLATION Hillside combine drive All cornheaders are driven via drive shafts directly mounted by hand. Specific combinations of combine harvester - picker require a wide angle or special drive shafts. Comply with all the regulations and the drive shaft designs. Check the pivot area and length of the drive shaft before commissioning.
  • Page 26: Fitting The Divider Tips

    INSTALLATION Connection via a screw / plug connection If only simple screw / plug connections are present, mark double and single-acting lines. Establish a secure connection so that oil can flow. Mark the lines and always make identical connec- tions so that the working sense remains unchanged. Fig.
  • Page 27: Adjusting The Snapping Plates

    INSTALLATION Setting the divider tips Remove the anti-lowering clamp. Place the picker on a level surface and lower to a clearance of 15 cm from the ground. Set the divider tips with screws so that they have a 2 cm clearance to the floor (normal setting). If the harvester falls strongly into the field, adjust the settings.
  • Page 28 INSTALLATION Adjusting the snapping plate of the fixed corn- header The clearance of the snapping plates can be set (infinitely-variable) from the driver’s cab via the dou- ble-acting cylinders. If the snapping plates are to be readjusted, first bring the hydraulic adjustment into the most tight-fitting position possible.
  • Page 29: Feeder Chains

    INSTALLATION 4.8 Feeder chains Feeder chains Chain tensioning device The feeder chains are tensioned automatically and maintenance-free through even spring pressure. When is it necessary to replace the feeder chains? Renew the chain if the maximum of the tensioner has been reached. The feeder chain is to be replaced if it is damaged by foreign bodies.
  • Page 30: Snapping Roller

    INSTALLATION Reference dimensions of the picking row frames The correct clearance of the frame support (X) in the fore section (A) is of especial importance for the function of the cornheader. A collision can alter this clearance. The support arm can bend at the far right and left-hand sides, as this is no longer supported by a connection series.
  • Page 31: Chopper

    INSTALLATION 4.11 Chopper Drive (E) Ventilator (K) Inspection glass (W) Anti-wrap guard Check the oil level regularly The chopper bearing is fitted with a lifetime lubrica- tion system and is maintenance-free. Fig. 36 Arrangement of the chopper blades The chopper blade (M) is to be fitted above the blade carrier using the original bushing.
  • Page 32: Chopper Body

    INSTALLATION 4.12 Chopper body Blade carrier Safe operation of the chopper requires that worn, bent or damaged parts are replaced immediately. Caution: Blade over-travel for two minutes.
