WARNING

To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected startup of machine, stop engine and remove key before adjusting rolls.

4.9.1 Roll and Feed Draper Speed

The roll and feed draper speeds change whenever the header knife speed is changed since the drives use the same hydraulic circuit. They cannot be independently adjusted.

4.9.2 Adjusting Roll Gap

Steel rolls condition the crop by crimping and crushing the stem in several places. This allows moisture release for quickerdrying. The degree to which the crop is conditioned as it passes through the rolls is controlled by roll gap. See illustration. The gap is factory set at 0.75 in. (20 mm) or at

1.5 line on gauge. Gauge readings should be the same at both ends of the roll.

Correct conditioning of alfalfa, clover and other legumes is usually indicated when 90% of the stems show cracking, but no more than 5% of the leaves are damaged. Use only enough roll gap to achieve this result.

A larger gap (up to 1 inch [25 mm]) may be desirable in thick-stemmed cane-type crops ; however, too large a gap may cause feeding problems.

Grass type crops may require less gap for proper feeding and conditioning. The intermeshing steel rolls of the hay conditioner crimp the plant stems in several places, allowing moisture release and quicker drying.

4.9.4 Adjusting Conditioner Roll Tension

The conditioner roll tension is maintained by two tension springs to provide adequate pressure for correct conditioning of the crop. These springs also allow the rolls to open to allow passage of small solid objects without damage to the rolls.

2. Loosen jam nuts (A).

4. Adjust nuts (B) on both sides equal amounts.

4.9.5 For

The position of the forming shields controls the w idth and placement of the windrow. The decision on forming shield position (settings between 36 and 92 inches [915 and 2346 mm]) should be based on the following factors:

• Weather conditions (rain, sun, humidity, wind)

• Type and yield of crop

• Drying time available

• Method of processing (bales, silage, “green-feed”)

A wider windrow will generally dry faster and more evenly, resulting in less pro tein loss. Fast drying is especially important in areas where the weather allows only a few days to cut and bale.

Where weather conditions permit or when drying is not critical, for example, when cutting for silage or "green-feed", a narrower windrow may be preferred for ease of pickup.
