OPERATING THE HEADER

6.12 The Overs

hot Auger

The overshot a

uger is designed to feed the cut crop from the cutterbar into the conditioner rolls.

The vertical a

nd fore-aft positions of the auger can be adjusted to suit the crop conditions for optimal movement of

the crop, mini

mized wrapping, and to keep the cutterbar clear.

The auger ﬂig

hting should NEVER cont act the pan or strip per bars.

The auger pos

ition has been factory set and should not normally require adjustment.

For ﬁne stem

med crop, the auger performs best when set as close as possible to the pan and stripper bars without

rubbing. Th

is is especially important in grass and other crops which have a tendency to wrap.

Component w

ear may cause clearances to become excessive, resulting in feeding problems and uneven windrows.
