Operation / Maintenence - Yetter 500 Series Operator's Manual

CORN HEAD ANGLE SHOULD BE BETWEEN 23 – 25°
FOR OPTIMUM DEVASTATATOR PERFORMANCE.
USE THE 5000-455 TO CHECK CORN HEAD ANGLE:
- Put the combine on a level surface. Lower the
Corn head to your normal working head height.
- Place the magnetic protractor on the stripper
plate to get the angle. Adjust the feeder house
as needed, fore or aft, to achieve 23 – 25 degrees.
Put the bearing housing in a vice, use a pry bar to turn the bearing in the housing parallel with the slots, remove the old
bearing, apply anti-seize lubricant to the interior of the bearing housing, insert the new bearing in the slots, & use a pry bar
to move back to position. Wobble the bearing around to help work the lubricant into the outer race of the bearing.
When storing the corn head for the offseason, it is OK for the 5000 Stalk Devastators to hold some weight of the corn head whether
stored on the ground or on a trailer. Removing compression springs may help extend the service life.
