Accelerator Discharge
The discharge accelerator receives the crop from the Corn Cracker or directly from
the chopper unit and conveys it through the square discharge tube and the upper
discharge chute out of the machine at high velocity.
The crop is expelled
via the discharge
chute into the trailer,
the chute can be
moved to maximise
trailer lling using the
buttons on the joystick
as shown earlier in
the booklet.
Different length chutes
Different length chute extensions need to be added or removed according to the width of
header which is attached to the front of the machine. Chute extensions come in 750mm
lengths and the L chute has 2 sections added.
Mechanical Adjustment
On the standard machine the gap between the housing and the accelerator can
be adjusted manually both LHS and RHS.
Why change the clearance in the accelerator?
If the maximum blow is not needed, the accelerator position can be set to a wider
opening this reduces wear and fuel consumption. Setting the accelerator closer to
the plate will increase the blowing capability.
Accelerator Paddles
There are toothed accelerator paddles tted as standard. Smooth paddles can be
tted if needed to increase the blowing capacity of the machine, e.g in very dry crops.
If changing the paddles, it is important to note the difference in height of the paddles,
so it is important to adjust the accelerator clearance afterwards.
Please Refer to the operators manual Section 9.13.20 for full procedure.
