Feeder conveyor chain can be set to two different speeds by selecting drive sprocket (A) on right-hand side of the lower shaft.

Use small sprocket for slow speed and large sprocket for high speed.

NOTE: If harvesting in corn, or have moderate feed rate conditions, conveyor speed can be decreased to improve part life by moving drive chain to small sprocket.

If material handling problems exist, increase speed of conveyor drive chain by moving chain to large sprocket.

Refer to Crops Settings section for recommended feeder house conveyor sprocket settings.
