Adjusting Roll Spacing (1465 Only)

causym CAUTION:

    To avoid personal injury while performing this adjustment:

  • Keep all shields in place.

  • Keep hands and clothing away from all moving parts.

  • Carefully follow the procedure below.

IMPORTANT: Roll stops control clearance between the upper and lower roll. Rolls should never be adjusted to allow contact during use, as serious damage to the machine may occur.

1. Place tongue in field operating position and lower machine to the ground.

2. Engage PTO drive with tractor throttle at slowest engine speed.

3. Stand away from machine and loosen adjusting nut (A) on one side of machine by a quarter turn at a time, using a wrench.

4. Proceed until roll contact causes vibration and a rumbling noise.

5. Tighten adjusting nut (A) by a quarter turn at a time until the noise stops, using a wrench.

6. Tighten an additional 1/2 to 3/4 turn for minimum roll clearance.

7. Repeat procedure on opposite side.

IMPORTANT: After adjustment is complete, shut off tractor engine, remove key, disengage PTO drive and visually check for contact between rolls. With tractor engine off, adjust clearance between rolls to prevent roll contact, if necessary.

NOTE: Rolls may be adjusted to provide a wider gap for less conditioning of special crops.
