Adjusting Gauge Wheel Height

Adjust the pickup so that the cylinder teeth are 25 mm (1 in.) above the ground.

To increase the clearance of the teeth from the ground, take out locking pin (A) and set gauge wheel (B) deeper along the row of holes. Reinstall locking pin (A) and secure with spring cotter (C).

To decrease the clearance of the teeth from the ground, take out locking pin (A) and set gauge wheel (B) higher along the row of holes. Reinstall locking pin (A) and secure with spring cotter (C).

IMPORTANT: Make sure that the value on scale (D) is the same on both sides.

It is also possible to install the spindles of gauge wheels (B) at either of the two positions (E).

IMPORTANT: The upper position (E) is preferred. Only install spindle in the lower position when adjustment range of scale (D) is not enough.

Always make sure that the pickup clearance is the same at either side.

IMPORTANT: Make sure that the pickup's height is not altered by the downstop on the harvester.
