RIGHT SWATHBOARD (STANDARD)
The swathboard clearance to the end drum should
be checked and adjusted, if necessary, any time the
knives are turned or replaced, or if crop wrappage or
spit out is occurring.
If adjustment is necessary, loosen nuts, 1 and 2, and
position the swathboard for minimum clearance with
the end drum ribs or the flighting on the auger end.
Rotate the disc to check for clearance between the
knife tip and swathboard. Retighten the nuts. If an op-
tional left swathboard is installed, check and adjust
it in the same manner.
NOTE: It may be necessary to remove the swath-
board in some extreme crop conditions to prevent
crop wrappage on the end drum.
DRIVE BELT
The belt must be properly tensioned at all times to
prevent excessive slipping and vibration. A loose belt
will cause poor cutting and premature failures.
Check the belt tension each day for the first few days.
Check weekly thereafter.
The belt is tensioned by a spring. It is properly ten-
sioned when the spring is tightened to the length of
gauge, 1.
Tighten the locknut, 2, until the spring length matches
the length of gauge, 1.
DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT
Remove the outer belt shield by removing the four
locknuts and flat washers at 1.
