Changing Feeder Conveyor Speed
NOTE:
The feeder house is shipped from the factory with the chain on the large sprocket (B).
If you have material handling problems or crop damage, move the chain to the smaller sprocket (C).
To move the chain to the smaller sprocket:
Remove shield.
Loosen nut (A) and push idler sprocket forward. Remove chain from sprocket assembly.
Pull on lock ring (D) to unlock and slide sprocket assembly.
Push idler sprocket rearward and tighten nut (A).
IMPORTANT:
The variable speed feeder house changes the speed of the corn head or row-crop head. If it is used with a platform, the drive must be slowed all the way down to prevent rapid wear to cutterbar parts.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to add or remove a link or two to change sprockets.
