Power Shutdown Procedure

NOTE: This procedure is the correct method for performing a power shutdown of the separator. The purpose of a power shutdown is to determine the machine's performance in the threshing and separating areas by taking a "snap-shot" of the material in the separator. This is valuable in determining where the losses behind the machine are generated and what adjustments can be made to correct the condition.

2. Pull multifunction control handle to neutral and then quickly complete step 3.

3. Momentarily shut OFF key switch (A) to kill the engine while reaching over and disengaging header (B) and separator (C) engage switches on the armrest console. Quickly restart the engine to allow for turbo charger lubrication.

4. After 30-60 seconds at slow idle shut OFF engine, set parking brake and remove key.

5. Inspect for excessive grain damage, kernels left on the cobs, and free grain loss before making any adjustments.

6. Once you have decided what adjustments need to be made, open concave clearance and engage separator (this will avoid undue stress to the cylinder drive area during clean out).

7. Adjust machine to desired settings and continue harvesting.

8. Repeat this procedure and verify grain quality and losses behind machine.

9. Once acceptable loss levels are attained, set sensitivity on VisionTrak Monitor and continue to harvest.
