A - Groove

Check wear channels for groove depth every 5000 bales (every 2500 bales in sandy conditions).

To avoid injury or death caused by unexpected lowering of the gate, engage gate lock before working on, around, or under gate in raised position.

Excessive grooves worn into wear channel and tension arm will increase belt edge wear and can wear through tension arm.

To check for groove depth in wear channels:

1. Fully raise and lock gate.

2. If groove depth (A) exceeds specifications, repair or replace wear channels and tension arm. See your John Deere dealer.

   Maximum Groove Depth Worn Into Wear Channel and Tension Arm	Depth	3 mm (1/8 in.)

3. Repeat on opposite side.
