Threshing Elements And Tines-Remove And Install

IMPORTANT: STS Rotor is a balanced assembly. Elements and tines must be replaced in sets of three to maintain balance. Replacement kits are available through service parts and include new cap screws with pre-applied LOCTITE ™ 204. Always use new cap screws and do not re-tighten after initial installation. Tines or elements that become loose may result in machine damage.

If tines or elements need to be removed for other than replacement, mark location on tine(s)/element(s) and rotor, prior to removal. Install in same location as removed to maintain balance. Always use new cap screws.

Make sure to clean out tailings and front cross auger if tine replacement is due to broken or damage tines. Failure to do so before initial start-up may allow broken tines to recirculate and cause tine damage to reoccur.

1. Remove separator grates or concave sections as needed to access STS Rotor. (See Remove and Install Concave Sections.)

2. Inspect wear on threshing elements and separator tines using AH204933 STS Combine Clearance Gauge.

3. Remove cap screws (A) and threshing element or tine.
