6.2 – Gathering Point Adjustments
Danger: Before repairing or adjusting any part of the corn head, engage the feeder house lift
cylinder safety stops, set the parking brake, turn off the combine engine and remove the key
and hang a warning sign on the operator’s platform. Failure to do so could result in serious
injury or death.
Important: The corn head angle must be correctly set prior to adjusting gathering points. See Section
6.1.
6.2.1 – Center Pivot Line
The center pivot line (red line) is a line that is
projected straight outwards from the gathering chains
to the ground. It is the break over point for the
gathering points.
When the gathering points are set correctly as shown,
the gathering points (A) are set above the center pivot
line (B). This allows the point to float upwards if a
foreign object is encountered.
Correct
When the gathering points are set incorrectly the
gathering points (C) are set below the center pivot line
(D). This causes the snout to try and move downwards
causing damage to the snout and related parts.
