1 Chopper set to slow speed with knifebank out.
2 For improved straw quality in dry crops and grain quality, use low speed.
3 For improved grain quality, use slow down kit to 320 rpm.
4 Do not operate below minimum speed recommendation.
5 38 tooth is available through service parts for extremely tough material handling conditions.
6 32 tooth is recommended for high yielding, high volume poor feeding straw crops.
7 In shoe overloading conditions in dry crops, with small wire concaves, initially install two rows on right side and three rows on left side. Large wire concaves, initially install three rows on right side and two rows on left side. Adjust number and pattern as required by condition.
