Main Concave adjustments
 Factory setting:
o M2 (front gap): 7mm +/- 1mm
o M3 (rear gap): 3mm +/- 1mm
 For delicate or specialty crops, the main

concave may be adjusted
so that M2 and M3 are set to the same
value (ex.7mm) resulting in a concentric
wrap vs a tapered wrap
 This is a very delicate adjustment and
must follow the procedure found in the

Do not engage processor to remove slug!!!

Do not engage processor to remove slug!!!
1. Common cause of most belt damage / failure
2. If the slug kills the engine under low idle, it will kill it
under high idle – remove slug first!
Locate the region plugged
1. Under the APS cylinder?
2. Between the threshing cylinder and impeller?
3. Rotors?

APS cylinder plugged
1. Open concave all the way (50mm)
2. De-tension APS cylinder belt
3. Use the paddles on the APS cylinder to pry it backward

Threshing cylinder (TC) is plugged
1. Disconnect APS reduction drive bolts
2. Open concave all the way (50mm)
3. Use same prying method with APS cylinder to dis-lodge

Region between TC and Impeller plugged
2. Drop the chopper
3. Engage separator and clean out the rotors
4. Re-engage the APS reduction bolts on low side
5. De-tension the rear impeller drive belt on the left-hand side (see picture)
6. Remove APS access door below the cab
7. Ensure concave is open all the way (50mm)
8. Engage separator
9. Slug should exit onto the feederhouse

as separator engages

2. Drop the chopper
3. Separate the rotor drive coupler between gear boxes
4. Engage separator and clean out the right-hand rotor
5. Re-connect the rotor drive coupler
6. Engage separator and clean out the left-hand rotor

88 PM 201 2
Row units
 Angle of approach (row unit)
 18 - 20 degrees (+/- 3 degrees) forward
 Measure angle from stripper plates
 Use HP feederhouse top-link to adjust angle
 Spreads the work load over the full length of the knives,
especially with chopping corn heads
 Optimizes stalk flow into the row units
Gray: LEXION Value

Knife rollers
 For best results:

 Replace or sharpen knives if damaged or worn
 Sharp knives = more efficient cutting action =
less shatter and loss
 The recommended gap between each knife
should be 1mm (0.04 inch) the entire length of the
cutting edge (2)
1 mm
 To remove or adjust, loosen bolts (1)
90 04/08/21
Stripper Plates

 Ensure that the stripper plates are able to close
tighter than the smallest diameter stalk
 Close adjustable side and then adjust the
stationary side all the way in
 Parallel stripper plates, within close proximity of
the stalk, result in the best performance with
minimal shatter and/or plugging
o Pinching the rear (5/8”) when harvesting very
small ears or in extremely dry conditions
 Stipper plates that are too tight can result in stalk

damage, shatter and knife roller plugging…too
wide = head loss
91 04/08/21
Snouts

 Ensure that all snout tips are perfectly
straight from side-to-side
 Affects the accuracy of the auto-pilot
sensors
 Ensures correct setting of header pitch
and auto-contour
 Reduces the potential for snout damage
92 04/08/21
Gathering chains

 Ensure that the gathering chain remains tight at all
times (check weekly)
 Inspect for worn pins by removing chain and
flexing to determine play
 A gathering chain should be tight with only slight
side-to-side play
93 04/08/21
Gathering chains settings for down or lodged crop

 Realign gatheing chains so their teeth are timed
together vs. staggard
 Less action on stalk = less potential for shatter
and loss
 Ideal for down corn, as the fingers come to gether
they can pull stalks off the ground
 Remove one ear saver to allow stalk to enter row
unit more efficiently
94 04/08/21
Cutter bar
 Adjust shims so there is no verticle travel under the “hold-down” tabs
 Slight fore/aft play only
 Hold-downs that are shimmed too tight will result in premature wearing of the sections and
those will be the sections that break first
 As the head ages, shims may need to be reallocated to bring back to tolerance

Chopping system

 Flip blades after every 1,000 acres to esnure
sharpest edge is the leading edge
 A blunt or dull edge requires extra horsepower
 Replace after 2,000 acres
 Operate variable speed feederhouse at 380+
RPM
 Replace blades if damaged and/or corners
rounded (tip of butter knife)
 Optimize ground speed for conditions. Example:
1 kmh (or 0.62 mph) x ground speed =
 Note: the faster the ground speed, the more potential horsepower required over
horsepower required to operate a chopping corn max. no-load header speed.
head
96 04/08/21
Knife rollers

 Blades should be perfectly parallel to each
1 mm
other and sharp!
 Slotted knife holes (1) allow for blade

adjustment to compensate for wear and
sharpening
 If the leading edge becomes round like a
“butter knife” tip, replace knives, if swapped
around placing the back to the front, the gap
created by the worn blades can cause plugging
 Grease front bearings (5) daily, preferrably at
the end of the day while the bearings are warm
97 04/08/21
Chain adjustment

 When tensioning roller chain, adjust until
the chain barely slides side-to-side on
the sprocket.
 If the chain does not move on the
sprocket (with resistance) then it is likely
too tight and can possibly break when
under load due to the the fact that chains
tighten up during operation
 (2) auger drive chain (6 – 12 row)
 (4) auger drive chain 16-30
