Power Shutdown Procedure

NOTE: A power shutdown is used to determine the machines performance in the threshing and separating areas by taking a "snap-shot" of the material in the separator. This is valuable in determining where the losses behind the machine are generated and what adjustments can be made to correct the condition.

1. Operate machine to fill with crop.

2. Pull multifunction control handle to neutral and then quickly complete step 3.

3. Momentarily shut OFF key switch (A) to kill the engine while reaching over and disengaging header (B) and separator (C) engage switches on the armrest console. After machine comes to a complete stop, quickly restart engine to allow for turbo charger lubrication.

4. After 30-60 seconds at low idle shut OFF engine, set parking brake and remove key.

5. Inspect for excessive grain damage, kernels left on the cobs, and free grain loss before making any adjustments.

6. Decide what adjustments are needed. Open threshing clearance and engage separator (avoids undue stress to cylinder drive area during cleanout).

7. Adjust machine to desired settings and continue harvesting.

8. Repeat this procedure and verify grain quality and losses behind machine.

9. Once acceptable loss levels are attained, set sensitivity on VisionTrak Monitor and continue to harvest.
