To "lock up" the Devastator roller, install a rod through the hole in the bottom of the torsion mount bracket, in front of the pivot
arms. A Lock Pin can be ordered to lock up the devastators, 3841-302.
CORN HEAD ANGLE NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTED 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.
-
Head cart may need adjusted to fit the head with devastator correctly. E.g., raising the saddles & top rail on the head cart.
-
When disconnecting from the head, leaving pressure on the torsion pivot of the devastator will not damage the devastator.
BEARING REPLACEMENT/MAINTENANCE
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, insert the new bearing in the slots, use a pry bar to move back to position, & grease until a small amount comes out
between outer race & cast housing. Wobble the bearing around to help work the lubricant into the outer race of the bearing.
