6.6.2 – Minimum Opening

The minimum deck plate opening is controlled by the
four sided cam (C) on the side of the row unit frame.

1) Minimum possible opening is 3/4" (19mm) at the
front and 15/16” (24mm) at the rear.
2) To adjust loosen the flange bolt (D) and rotate
the cam (C).
3) The four sided cams have numbers laser cut in
them.
a. Larger Number = Larger deck plate
minimum opening.
b. Smaller Number = Smaller deck plate
minimum opening.

Checking Front Minimum Opening

Insert tool ST-7 (F) in between the deck plates at the
point where the curve at the front of the deck plate
stops. Ensure that the text “Min_F” is between the
deck plates. The deck plates should lightly touch tool
ST-7 (F). If the deck plates are pushed open or a gap
exists between the tool and the deck plates the
minimum opening setting should be adjusted.

Note: The front minimum opening is the critical
measurement for correctly setting the deck plates and
should be inspected periodically through the harvest
season.

Checking Rear Minimum Opening

Insert tool ST-7 (G) in between the deck plates at the
rear of the opening. Ensure that the text “Min_R” is
between the deck plates. The deck plates should lightly
touch tool ST-7 (G). The rear deck plate opening is not
adjustable independent of the front opening.

Note: The deck plate rear minimum opening does not
need to be inspected on a regular basis. It requires
inspection only if damage to the system is suspected
or if conditions require changes to the maximum
opening.
