MAINTENANCE/SERVICE
AUGER AND AUGER DRIVE
Auger Position
The auger position has been factory set and
should not normally require adjustment. For nearly
all conditions, the auger performs best when set as
close as possible to the stripper bars without
rubbing. This is especially important in grass and
other crops which have a tendency to wrap.
Component wear may cause clearances to
become excessive, resulting in feeding problems
and uneven windrows.
Should adjustment be required:
1. Loosen nut (A), left side, securing auger drive
chain idler sprocket.
Loosen nuts (F) (G) and (H) on right side until
reel drive chain and belt are loose.
NOTE: Nut (H) is on inboard face of panel.
2. Loosen bolts (B), four per side.
3. To adjust auger fore-aft:
a. Loosen jam nuts on bolt (C), both sides.
b. Turn adjuster nuts to move auger fore or aft to
desired position.
c. Tighten jam nuts on bolt (C).
4. To adjust auger vertical position:
a. Loosen jam nuts (D), two per side.
b. Turn push bolts (E), two per side, to lower or
raise auger.
c. Tighten jam nuts (D).
NOTE: The auger should clear the stripper bars on
the auger pan by approximately 1/16 inch (1.5
mm).
5. Tighten bolts (B) to secure the position.
6. Adjust tension of auger drive chain, reel drive
chain, and reel drive belt. Tighten hardware.
7. Adjust stripper bars (see below).
