Drive and Operate Carefully
Drive carefully so the corn head will stay on the rows. Never force the corn head or combine to the point of overloading. Overloading can cause breakdowns. Start out in a lower gear and increase speed until you find the proper ground speed at which to operate.
Listen for slipping clutches or other unusual noises. If the corn head becomes plugged, clean it out by keeping engine at operating speed, but decrease ground speed until header has been cleared.
IMPORTANT:
The forward movement of the combine must be approximately the same as the rearward movement of the gathering chain flights or plugging can result.
