Feeder House Fore/Aft Tilt Frame-Adjusting

CAUTION: If adjusting fore/aft tilt frame with header attached, lower header to ground to relieve tension from turnbuckles. Shut OFF engine, set parking brake and remove key.

Feeder house tilt feature is used to set the correct relationship between platform skid plates and the ground. It is intended to compensate for different tire sizes, rear axle settings and other variables.

Loosen tilt frame nuts (A), stop plate nuts (B) on both sides of feeder house.

NOTE: Move right-hand stop plate to rearward mounting holes if needed.

Move stop plate (C) rearward on both sides.

Loosen turnbuckle stop nut (D) on both sides and adjust turnbuckles (E) as needed for correct header angle.

Tighten turnbuckle stop nuts on both sides and tighten tilt frame nuts to specification.

Specification

IMPORTANT: No gap should exist between stop plates and fore/aft tilt frame after tightening stop plate nuts.

NOTE: Attach right-hand stop plate to forward or rearward holes as needed.

Move stop plates fully forward to fore/aft tilt frame on both sides and tighten stop plate nuts to specification.

Tilt adjustment is set to an approximate position at the factory, but if tires or axle positions are changed, it may be necessary to readjust. An approximate setting can be obtained without a header attached by the following:

• With machine on a smooth level surface, lower or raise feeder house until pivot bolt (A) to ground distance is set to specification.

Specification

• Using a level as a reference, adjust fore/aft tilt frame until front face is vertical.

If further adjustment is necessary, refer to header operator's manual for additional adjustments.
