HEADER AND STRAW ELEVATOR REVERSING
SYSTEM
The combine is equipped with a system to reverse the
header reel (or the gathering chains, in case of a
maize header), the auger and the straw elevator
should a blockage occur.
If, during operation, a feed auger and/or a straw ele-
vator blockage occurs which makes the slip
clutch(es) slip, proceed as follows:
Model TX62
1. Stop the combine immediately and disengage the
header engaging lever.
2. Reverse the combine a couple of metres.
3. Leave the throttle lever at maximum speed.
4. Pull the spring-loaded lock A down and press the
reversing switch 45 (Fig.15).
IMPORTANT:
Hold the switch in the activated position.
This will activate the electric motor and thus re-
verse the straw elevator and header until the
blockage has been expelled.
5. Release the reversing switch 45 (Fig.15).
6. Lift-up the reel and engage the header engaging
lever .
7. Move the crop slowly towards the auger with the
reel.
8. Continue operation.
CAUTION:
If the blockage can not be removed by the
header reversing system, stop the engine
before attempting to unplug the header
manually.
