ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Step 1: Attach each 5000-187 locking torsion assembly to the frame using 2) 5/8 X 4 X 5 ½ U-Bolts & 4) 5/8 – 11 Hex Flange Nuts. See pages 7 – 8 for each locking torsion pivot assembly mounting location for your corn head. On some corn head models, the locking torsion assembly will have to go between the gearbox mounting straps.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Attach the roller mount to pivot arms using ½” x 2-1/2” x 3-1/2” U-bolts & lock nuts. See diagrams on pages 7 – 8 to Step 3: determine orientation of roller & roller mount tube locations for your corn head. DO NOT TIGHTEN HARDWARE YET!! NOTE: The bearing support tab on the roller mount tube should be on the backside of the bearing mount plate.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Step 5: Slide roller mount tubes to align the row center with the traction bars. Fully tighten hardware from Step 3. In some circumstances, the traction bar may have to be off-center of the row some. REAR VIEW Step 6: (If Applicable) On chopping corn heads, trim 3 inches off the bottom of the back curtain to keep the roller from contacting the curtain.
LOCK UP To “lock up” Devastator rollers, lower head down & rotate the locking handle 90 degrees. If the handle is vertical, the devastator will be in operation mode. If the handle is horizontal & is in front of the pivot arm (see yellow circle below), the devastator is locked up. On torsion style devastators without the lock up feature, a 5000-430 Lock Pin can be ordered separately to lock up devastator rollers.
STORAGE/TRANSPORT Head cart may need adjusted to fit the head with devastator correctly. E.g. raising or fore/aft adjustment of saddles/top rail on the head cart. If head cart does not have these adjustments, adding a tube extension to top rail or adding extension to saddle/corn head may be required. Side to side tilt may need used to clear taller head cart tires or locking the devastator up.
