Adjusting Endshield - MacDon D65 Operator's Manual

Adjusting Endshield

Polyethylene endshields 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
Table 3.1 Gap (X) Chart

If adjustments are required, proceed as follows:
2. Open the endshield. Refer to
3. Loosen nut (A) on pin (B) from inside the endsheet using a
19 mm (3/4 in.) socket.
4. Close the endshield and adjust its position to achieve the
gap (X) (shown in Figure
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. Refer to
