Adjusting Center Auger Finger Timing

Feeding between platform and feeder house may be improved by advancing the auger finger timing.

1. CAUTION:

   
   H95804-UN-23MAR10

   A - Flange Nuts (4 used)

   B - Timing Flange

   C - Hex Shaft

   Avoid serious injury. Raise platform and reel completely, set safety stops, shut off engine and remove key.

   Avoid serious injury from cutterbar movement when auger is turned. Remove knife drive belt (see Remove and Install Knife Drive Belt section).

   IMPORTANT: Before making any adjustments, raise platform until full weight of platform and reel is supported by the combine feeder house.

   To avoid damaging floor or fingers, maintain a minimum 16 mm (5/8 in.) clearance between center auger fingers and floor.

   Open right-hand side shield.

2. Loosen four flange nuts (A).

   NOTE: Nominal timing is when maximum finger extension occurs in the fully forward and horizontal (3 o’clock as viewed from the right-hand end) position.

   Rotate timing casting (B) clockwise to advance or counter clockwise to retard timing. Hex shaft (C) extends out from the timing casting to allow use of a wrench to assist in rotating the casting.

3. Tighten nuts (A) to specification.
