AUGER CLEARANCE TO FLIGHTING
MAINTENANCE/SERVICE
AUGER AND AUGER DRIVE
Auger Position
The auger position has been factory set for proper
stripper clearance. Auger/Stripper clearance
should be checked periodically. For all conditions,
the auger performs best when set as close as
possible to all stripper bars without rubbing. This is
especially important in grass and other crops
which have a tendency to wrap. In alfalfa and other
crops, component wear may cause clearances to
become excessive, resulting in feeding problems
and uneven windrows.
To position auger:
1. Lower auger and reposition to cradle it in the
three sets of strippers.
2. Raise auger just enough to obtain clearance to
strippers at the closest point as auger is
rotated. Clearance should be maximum 4 mm
at any point along length of front and center
strippers. Stripper bar shims are available
through your dealer.
NOTE: Front strippers are provided only on
912/922 Headers 14’ & larger.
NOTE: On 933 Header position stripper bar
extension on center and rear strippers for close
auger clearance along full length of stripper.
3. Check that auger clears all strippers through full
rotation with header up and header down.
Vertical adjustment
1. Loosen bolts (D), four per side.
2. Loosen nuts (E), two per side.
3. Loosen nuts (K) and (L), both sides.
4. Turn push bolts (F), two per side, to lower or
raise auger.
5. Tighten nuts (E), (K), and (L) and bolts (D) to
secure the position.
Fore-Aft Adjustment
1. Loosen bolts (D), four per side.
2. To move auger rearward, loosen nut (K) and
turn nut (L) clockwise. To move auger forward,
loosen nut (L) and turn nut (K) clockwise.
3. Repeat adjustment at other end of auger.
4. Tighten nuts (K), (L), and bolts (D) to secure
the position.
