Adjusting Endshields - MacDon D65 Operator's Manual

Adjusting Endshields

Plastic endshields may expand or contract when subjected to large temperature changes. The position of the top
pin and lower catch can be adjusted to compensate for dimensional changes.
1. Measure gap 'X' between the front end of the endshield
and the header frame and compare the measurement
to the values provided in Table
39.

If adjustments are required, proceed as follows:
2. Open the endshield. Refer to
page 35.
3. Loosen nut (A) on pin (B) from inside the endsheet
using a 3/4 in. (19 mm) socket.
4. Close the endshield and adjust its position to achieve
the gap 'X' between the front end of the endshield and
the header frame.
5. Open the endshield and tighten nut (A).
6. Loosen the bolts on catch (C), and adjust the catch as
required to reposition the endshield. Ensure there is
a snug fit between the top of the endshield and the
header frame and that the endshield is fully engaged
on pin (B).
7. Tighten the bolts on catch (C).
8. Close the endshield.
