Adjusting Feed Drum Finger Timing

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging floor, feed belt or fingers, maintain a minimum clearance of 23 mm (7/8 in.) between feed drum fingers and center belt splice (B) and between floor (A) and feed drum fingers.

Feed drum height must be readjusted whenever platform tilt, suspension leveling or finger timing is changed to insure adequate finger to center belt clearance and finger to floor clearance.

For drum height recommendations (see Operating the Platform section). For draper settings of high volume crops (see Operating the Platform section).

1. To change finger timing loosen three flange nuts (C) on the right-hand end of feed drum.

2. Rotate timing casting (D) clockwise to advance or counter-clockwise to retard timing. Hex shaft (E) extends out from the timing casting to allow the use of a wrench to assist in rotating the casting.

3. Tighten nuts (C) to specification.
