6.5 – Row Unit Alignment

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.

The alignment of the row unit is critical to ensure
proper operation of the stalk rollers. If adjustment of
the row unit is required, contact your Authorized Drago
Dealer. The alignment should be checked both side-to-
side and vertically.

Checking Side-To-Side Alignment:

1) Raise the corn head and engage the feeder
house lift cylinder safety stops.
2) Shut off the combine engine and remove the
key.
3) Rotate the stalk rollers until the knives are tip-
to-tip.
4) The gap (A) at the front of new stalk roller
knives should be 1/8” (3-4mm).

Checking Vertical Alignment:

1) Raise the corn head and engage the feeder
house lift cylinder safety stops.
2) Shut off the combine engine and remove the key.
3) Turn the row unit by hand until two of the knife
tips come together. The tips should be in line
with one another.
4) If the tips do not line up, adjustment is required.
