Page 61: Checking And Adjusting Auger Flighting Configuration
PERFORMING PREDELIVERY CHECKS 5.5 Checking and Adjusting Auger Flighting Configuration Headers come factory-configured with reverse auger flighting, which is sufficient for most conditions. If needed for challenging conditions, this flighting can be replaced with paddle flighting, which is included in the wooden shipping crate on every header.
Page 62: Checking And Adjusting Auger Position
PERFORMING PREDELIVERY CHECKS 5.6 Checking and Adjusting Auger Position To promote ear-on-ear feeding through the auger, the auger height should be 32–38 mm (1 1/4–1 1/2 in.) on rigid headers and the clearance between the rear of the auger and the rear horizontal stripper bar should be 6 mm (1/4 in.) on all headers.
Page 63 PERFORMING PREDELIVERY CHECKS 2. Check the gap between auger flighting (A) and rear horizontal stripper bar (B) as shown in the illustration at right. If the gap is less than or greater than 6 mm (1/4 in.) across the length of the auger, adjustment is required. Figure 5.14: Auger-to-Stripper Bar Clearance 3.

PERFORMING PREDELIVERY CHECKS 5.10 Checking and Adjusting Orifices – Folding Headers Folding headers are factory-equipped with two 1.0 mm (0.04 in.) orifices (in the base of each folding cylinder) that enable the header wings to fold simultaneously on most combines. The orifices can be replaced with 0.7 mm (0.03 in.) orifices to synchronize a header that folds one wing and then the other on low-flow combines.
Page 69 PERFORMING PREDELIVERY CHECKS 3. If the snouts at the folding joint are rising too quickly, on dual-controlled check valves (A), replace factory-installed orifices (B) with the smaller ones provided in the shipping crate. NOTE: There is one dual-controlled check valve on each side of the header.
Page 70: Checking And Adjusting Auger Timing - Folding Headers
PERFORMING PREDELIVERY CHECKS 5.11 Checking and Adjusting Auger Timing – Folding Headers On folding headers, the distance between the auger flightings should be properly maintained to optimize feeding across the wing joint. The distance between the flightings should be 457–508 mm (18–20 in.). NOTE: This procedure does not apply to rigid headers.
Page 71 PERFORMING PREDELIVERY CHECKS Figure 5.24: Jaw Coupler 2. If the distance is not 457–508 mm (18–20 in.), adjust as follows: Remove the bolt from jaw coupler (A). b. Remove the jaw coupler from the header. Rotate the jaw coupler (hex shaft in hex hole). d.
