Cleaning Dirt From Under Flexible Seals

At the end of each season, or more often as necessary, clean out the dirt from between flexible seals (A) and skid shoes (B) in area (C). Bolts (D) may have to be taken out to remove packed dirt.

CAUTION: Lower feeder house safety stop when working under platform. Set parking brake, shut off engine and remove key.

Hit the skid shoes with a hammer to "jar" dirt free.

A build up of dirt in this area can restrict the movement of flex seals (A) and cause the skid shoes and cutterbar assembly to become heavier than normal, causing pushing of dirt.
