CROSS AUGER
Crops such as flax may wrap on cross auger. To
remedy this, try removing beaters (A). If crop still
wraps, remove the cross auger completely.
To remove cross auger:
1. Detach R/H auger support from frame.
2. Pull auger off of motor spline shaft at L/H side.
3. Leave motor attached and connected to
hydraulics.
NOTE: Auger beaters are factory positioned to suit
the most common feeder house opening size for
your make of combine. For models with narrower
openings (e.g. Case 1666, 2166, 2366), move
beaters inboard by one hole position as shown at
(E) to align end of beater with edge of feeder
house opening.
NOTE: In extremely heavy crop conditions, it may
be necessary to raise auger to prevent material
plugging between auger and feed draper. Alternate
mounting holes (C) in auger support (both sides)
are provided for this purpose.
