Concave filler plates remove

awns (Fig 32 and 33)

The threshing ef fect of concave can be

improved by fitting the filler plates A under

first concave beaters, Fig 32. Pass the filler

plates through the holes in both ends of

the concave. The spring keep them fixed. A

maximum four plates can be fitted.

For assembling filler plates, remove canvas

A, (Fig 33) from front end of grain pan. 

Reassemble canvas after assembling plates.

Note! When using filler plates, some grains

may remain on the concave after finishing

each plots. Do not use filler plates if this kind

of mixing of grains is not acceptable.

Reversing of the Cylinder

In case of blockage in cylinder it can be 

reversed by a reversing tool delivered with 

the combine. Fig 33a.

The engine shall be stopped and the clutch

of threshing unit disengaged. Adjusting

the concave to lowest position

will help reversing. Possibly the

plockage have to be removed

also through access doors.

Straw Walkers (Fig 34)

Clean the bottoms. Check the bottom grooves 

of the three-part straw walkers daily and clean 

if necessary, especially when working in difficult 

threshing conditions. With large straw quantities, 

the extensions of the bottom grooves can be 

pulled out, to cut down the walker losses. With 

small quantities of straw, particularly in barley, 

a lower cleaning capacity is needed, the bottom 

grooves can be achieved by pushing in the 

extensions.

An alarm on top of the chaff hood gives

a sound signal if an excessive accumulation

of straw causes a blockage such as on overload 

of the straw cutter. Then, immediately disengage 

the threshing mechanism, clear the blockage 

and find out the cause of the trouble before 

going on working.

NOTE! Always check the operation of the

warning device daily, before starting the

work in the field.

Shaker Shoe Grain Pan (Fig. 35)

The shaker shoe and the grain pan have been 

built compact. There is one adjustable sieve. 

The opening of sieve lamelles are adjusted by 

the screw D in the rear of the sieve. 

To remove sieve slacken the screws A, whereby 

the locking pegs B move towards the centre and 

disengaged from the lugs C. The sieve can be 

pulled out on the slide bars.

Shaker Shoe with Return

System (Fig 36)

The shaker shoe with return system has two

sieves. The top sieve is adjustable like a 

standard one. The bottom sieve is changeable 

round hole sieve. The sieves with different size 

of holes are available for different crops.

The place for bottom sieve (A) have been

built to the top sieve. For to change the

bottom sieve also top sieve are removed.

The bottom sieve can be removed by loosening 

bolts B, Fig 36.

For special conditions the returning system

can be blanked by assembling blanking plates

C, Fig 36, to the end of grain bottom of shaker

shoe. This guides all grains direct to grain

elevator and shortens emptying time of the

cleaning unit.

Cleaning Fan (Fig. 37) for

providing sufficient air flow

The air flow is adjusted by changing the 

speed the fan by variator. The speed 

regulating switch has been located on the 

instrument panel. Fan speed is displayed in 

gauge A on the instrument panel with change 

switch L in the fan position. (Fig. 3 and 4.)

NOTE! Adjustments can only be made with

the threshing machinery engaged.

For small seeds requiring less air flow than

provided by speed of the fan, open the door

A beneath the fan, fig 37 .

Adjust the air flow direction by regulating 

lever D Fig 37. When the lever is in its 

extreme position down, the air is directed 

forwards and up. By moving the lever 

upwards, the air direction turns down and 

backwards.

The suggested settings for the air flows and

directions for various crops are given in the

table.

Grain Conveyor Chain (Fig. 39)

Grain conveyor chain transports grains to

the to the bottom troughs and is then taken 

to the weighing unit or direct to the grain tank 

by means of the conveyor chain. When no 

more grain falls from the shaker shoe, the 

conveyor chain cleans the bottom trough 

automatically.

An alarm will indicate a drop in the elevator

speed because of overload or loose belt.

After having cleared a blockage, operate the

threshing machinery at low speed for some

time before continuing threshing.

Return auger (Fig 40)

Optionally the combine can be equipped with

return system. The return auger consists a

bottom auger and a blower fan which throws

returns back to grain pan. For ease of 

cleaning, the bottom of auger can be 

opened.

To increase the threshing effect of the fan

the smooth bottom part can be replaced with

a corrugated one. This will be done by 

slackening screws A.

Weighing Unit (Fig 41a)

Weighing unit, if fitted, is located at the

top of the grain tank. The grains come from

grain conveyor to the weighing hopper, when

assembled.

Grains drop from the weighing hopper

direct to the grain tank. With an optional 

sample taking devise below the weighing 

hopper it is possible to take a sample while 

unloading theweighing hopper.

There may be different type of weighing

systems depending of final spesification.

When harvesting larger fields the grain can

be taken straight to tank by keeping the

bottom door opened.

Bagging unit (Fig 41b) if fitted

When the bagging unit have been fitted,

the grains can be taken into tank or into

bag by turning the guide A, fig 41b. There

are places for two bags. The bag which is

filled is chosen by turning a guide B.

The height of bag holder C is adjusted

by changing the bolt D from one hole to

another. The Bag holder D can be swung to

the left for to open the side guard of the

combine for service reason.
