HP Feederhouse faceplate adjustment
Graduated lever (2008 – 2012) HP faceplate angle example Saw-tooth indicator (2004 – 2007) PM 2012

Row units Angle of approach (row unit)
degrees (+/- 3 degrees) forward Measure angle from stripper plates Use HP feederhouse top-link to adjust angle Spreads the work load over the full length of the knives, especially with chopping corn heads Optimizes stalk flow into the row units Gray: LEXION Value

Knife rollers For best results:
Replace or sharpen knives if damaged or worn Sharp knives = more efficient cutting action = less shatter and loss The recommended gap between each knife should be 1mm (0.04 inch) the entire length of the cutting edge (2) To remove or adjust, loosen bolts (1) 1 mm 9/27/2017

Stripper Plates For best results:
Ensure that the stripper plates are able to close tighter than the smallest diameter stalk Close adjustable side and then adjust the stationary side all the way in Parallel stripper plates, within close proximity of the stalk, result in the best performance with minimal shatter and/or plugging Pinching the rear (5/8”) when harvesting very small ears or in extremely dry conditions Stipper plates that are too tight can result in stalk damage, shatter and knife roller plugging…too wide = head loss 9/27/2017

Snouts For best results:
Ensure that all snout tips are perfectly straight from side-to-side Affects the accuracy of the auto-pilot sensors Ensures correct setting of header pitch and auto-contour Reduces the potential for snout damage 9/27/2017

Gathering chains For best results:
Ensure that the gathering chain remains tight at all times (check weekly) Inspect for worn pins by removing chain and flexing to determine play A gathering chain should be tight with only slight side-to-side play 9/27/2017

Gathering chains settings for down or lodged crop
For best results: Realign gatheing chains so their teeth are timed together vs. staggard Less action on stalk = less potential for shatter and loss Ideal for down corn, as the fingers come to gether they can pull stalks off the ground Remove one ear saver to allow stalk to enter row unit more efficiently 9/27/2017

Cutter bar Adjust shims so there is no verticle travel under the “hold-down” tabs Slight fore/aft play only Hold-downs that are shimmed too tight will result in premature wearing of the sections and those will be the sections that break first As the head ages, shims may need to be reallocated to bring back to tolerance 9/27/2017 2010 LEXION Product Training

Chopping system For best results:
Flip blades after every 1,000 acres to esnure sharpest edge is the leading edge A blunt or dull edge requires extra horsepower Replace after 2,000 acres Operate variable speed feederhouse at 380+ RPM Replace blades if damaged and/or corners rounded (tip of butter knife) Optimize ground speed for conditions. Note: the faster the ground speed, the more horsepower required to operate a chopping corn head Example: 1 kmh (or 0.62 mph) x ground speed = potential horsepower required over max. no-load header speed. 9/27/2017

Knife rollers For best results:
Blades should be perfectly parallel to each other and sharp! Slotted knife holes (1) allow for blade adjustment to compensate for wear and sharpening If the leading edge becomes round like a “butter knife” tip, replace knives, if swapped around placing the back to the front, the gap created by the worn blades can cause plugging Grease front bearings (5) daily, preferrably at the end of the day while the bearings are warm 1 mm 9/27/2017

Chain adjustment For best results:
When tensioning roller chain, adjust until the chain barely slides side-to-side on the sprocket. If the chain does not move on the sprocket (with resistance) then it is likely too tight and can possibly break when under load due to the the fact that chains tighten up during operation (2) auger drive chain (6 – 12 row) (4) auger drive chain 16-30 9/27/2017

AUTO-PILOT sensor adjustment
Sensing wands should be centered to ensure accuracy 20mm (+/- 5mm) gap between wands Snout position is consistent Off-set sensors will result in poor tracking and performance Adjust sensors at mounting bracket to center 9/27/2017

MAXFLEX 1050, 1200 Operational tips: Stripper plates Setup:
Ensure auger clearence from the floor is 15mm (+/- 5mm) Adjust stripper plates as close to the auger without touching Stripper plate extensions are in place for the narrow body machines and need to be removed for use with the wide body machines 2 2 3 PM 2012

MAXFLEX 1050, 1200 Operational tips: Auger positioning Setup: 3. 2. 1.
In certain conditions where stripper plate position and auger finger timing do not prevent back-feeding, it may be necessary to adjust the auger.height Center adjustment: loosen bolts (1) and use the draw bolts (2)site side to fine position the auger where needed End adjustment: loosen bolts (3) and adjust draw bolt (4) If back feeding, adjust auger clearance (X) from floor Soybeans: 15 – 20mm Small grains: 10 – 15mm 1 3. 2. 1. 4.

MAXFLEX 1050, 1200 Operational tips: Finger positioning Setup: 1. 2.
Adjustment of the auger fingers is adjusted on either side of the header. The higher up the finger pitch bracket is set the less aggressive the fingers are (short crops). The lower the finger pitch bracket the more aggressive the finger pitch positioning (ieal for longer crops). 1. 2. PM 2012

MAXFLEX 1050, 1200, 535, 540 Operational tips: Auger extensions 2.
Setup: Remove auger flight extension (1) on narrow body combines and (1, 2) on wide body combines in order to smooth out material flow and improve feeding in to the feederhouse Replace extensions if wrapping occurs around the ends of the feederhouse drum 1. PM 2012
