Chaff Spreader

The chaff spreader is used for crops that generate large volumes of residue (e.g. grain crops and soybeans). It is automatically engaged via the separator engage switch.

The chaff spreader can spread chaff via straw chopper vanes (see "Adjusting Spreading Width" or "Adjusting Straw Chopper Vanes" earlier in this Section) or laterally to separate chaff from chopped straw or from straw windrow.

When not used, the chaff spreader can be put into storage position (see "Chaff Speader Working/Storage Positions").

Chaff spreader can spread chaff under different manners which are:

• The chaff is blown into the straw, chopped and spread together with the straw- with straw chopper engaged .
• The chaff is blown into the straw and windrowed together with the straw- with straw chopper disengaged .
• The chaff is spread separate from the windrowed straw- with straw chopper disengaged .
• The chaff is spread separate from the chopped straw- with straw chopper engaged .

Refer to "Operating Straw Chopper" in this section to engage or disengage straw chopper if necessary.

Place chaff spreader assembly into working position (see "Chaff Spreader Working/Storage Positions" hereafter) then choose the spreading mode:

- To set chaff spreader for "lateral flow" , unscrew damper knobs (A) then fully slide both knobs outward. Firmly screw knobs (A).

- To set chaff spreader for "chopped flow" , unscrew damper knobs (A) then fully slide both knobs inward. Firmly screw knobs (A).

IMPORTANT: When operating chaff spreader for corn, sunflowers or soybeans, chaff spreader speed must be reduced to 400 rpm.
