2.0 Operation

2.1 Hydraulic Operation

Hydraulic oil flows from the tank to the gear pump mounted at the engine. High pressure oil flows to the manifold, past a proportional flow control valve to the reel circuit of the draper plat-form. Return oil is routed back from the platform to the manifold to merge with the relief and bypass oil to return to the tank.

A functional diagram of the manifold is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Functional Diagram of Manifold

9

2.2 Electrical Operation

Three switches are installed in the armrest. The first controls belt speed. The second controls engagement of the reel circuit. The third switch is the potentiometer that controls the reel speed.

To control draper belt speed, move the momentary toggle switch in the direction corresponding to the desired speed change.

To engage the reel, move the center toggle switch to the Engaged position.Note: When in Engaged position, the reel enable switch allows the forage harvester to automati-cally control the reel. The reel will turn in conjunction with the draper platform engagement and stop when the header is stopped.

IMPORTANT: Disengage the reel enable switch when the draper platform is not in use. Failure to do so will permit the draper circuit to operate at relief pressure against the multi-coupler.

To change reel speed, rotate the potentiometer dial in the direction corresponding to the desired change in speed.

The system is protected by a 10 amp fuse for the draper belt speed circuit and by the system fuses for the reel function control. The fuse is located in-line at “Board Three” in the electrical cabinet.

3.0 Installation Instructions

3.1 Hydraulic Reservoir Replacement.

Drain and remove the hydraulic tank from the machine. Mark all hoses for installation in new tank upon completion of the change of tank Note: Machines not equipped with the Pro Drive Transmission require the installation of a fill tube and return line from the filter to the tank. All parts are included with the bundle. See parts diagram for component location information regarding the fill tank.

Note: Machines not equipped with the Pro Drive Transmission will require the installation of two plugs at the rear side of the tank. Plugs are included with the bundle.

Transfer all fittings from original tank to the new tank. Take care to remove all plugs and pre-vent trash from entering the new tank.

Install new hydraulic tank and all hydraulic lines. Inspect hose routings and adjust as necessary to prevent hoses rubbing on other components.

Install adapter fittings at remaining ports. These adapter fittings are included in the bundle. The larger fitting is for the suction port at the front of the tank. The smaller fitting is for tank return, at the rear of the tank.

See Figure 3 for more information.

3.2 Gear Pump Installation

Note: Due to tight clearances in the area of the auxiliary drive on the engine, the adapter and gear pump with fittings and pressure hose must be pre-assembled before installation on the ma-chine.

3.2.1 Assemble Adapter

Assemble auxiliary drive adapter. Refer to “SAE ‘B’ Rear Auxiliary Drive - Assemble Rear Auxiliary Drive Assembly” in the PowerTech Plus 6135 Base Engine Repair Manual. Compo-nents needed are included in this bundle.

3.2.2 Assembly Gear Pump to Adapter

Assemble gear pump to drive adapter. Install SAE “A” O-Ring at pump face and secure pump with two M12 x 30 Flange Head Cap Screws. Tighten hardware properly.

Install suction fitting and pressure fitting at pump.

See Figure 4 for details.

3.2.3 Remove Cover

Remove Cover at Auxiliary Drive port on engine.

Remove seal from cover and install at end of drive adapter (see Key 6, Figure 4).

Remove wiring clamp and hose clamp next to cover and relocate as shown in Figure 5. Manu-ally bend bracket for harness as needed.

IMPORTANT: Wiring must not contact any hoses upon completion.

Bend P-Clamp for wire harness behind pump location towards the engine block to permit clear-ance of gear pump upon install.

See Figure 5.

3.2.4 Install Gear Pump

Install gear pump and drive adapter assembly at the auxiliary drive port on the engine.

Ensure that the O-Ring on the adapter at the port on the engine is in place during install.

Secure using the same bolts that held the cover in place. Orient the pump such that the suction is at the TOP of the pump.

Tighten hardware properly.

Install suction line and pressure line at the pump. Suction line is largest of hoses in diameter. Pressure line is the third longest hose with a 90-degree fitting on one end (for manifold end). Turn fittings towards front of machine upon install.

3.4.5 Routing of Pump Hoses

Route pressure line from pump behind electrical harness along engine block as shown in Figure 14. Install hose wrap at area near corner to prevent contact of hose directly with brackets mounted on engine. Hose will be routed across the frame cross member (near tank mount) to opposite side of machine towards the manifold.

IMPORTANT: Route hoses around electrical wires. Hoses must not contact any wire harnesses upon completion of install.

Route suction line from pump between engine and frame to the top side of the new hy-draulic tank. Loop hose end to reach suction port on front side of tank.

Tighten all fittings properly.

Install 2 short extension hoses with -8 to -8 ORFS adapters at the RH draper belt drive as shown in Figure 35.

Figure 35. Hose Extensions

Remove the 3 attaching bolts for the transfer belt frame at the front plate of the frame. See Figure 36.

Figure 36. Bolt Removal37

Slide the draper transfer belt frames towards the center until they overlap the feeding auger by 23 cm (9 in). This will result in a distance between the belt rollers of approxi-mately 1120 cm (44 in). See Figure 37.

Figure 37. Overlap IndicationKey A - 1120 cm (9 in)

Drill 8.75 mm (11/32 in) diameter hole in center of slots for reinstallation of self-tapping bolts removed in previous step. Tighten all hardware properly. See Figure 38.

Figure 38. New Hole Locations

Hydraulic hoses for the LH belt drive motor can remain attached but must be pulled fur-ther from the frame approximately 50 mm (2 in) to accommodate the shift in the frame. See Figure 39.

Figure 39. Hoses for Adjustment

Install extension to crop deflector. Using existing and new hardware provided in bundle, install UHMW extensions over the top of the existing deflectors as shown in Figure 40.

Drill holes as needed in positions indicated in Figure 40. Tighten all hardware properly.

NOTE: If needed, the deflector can be pivoted up at the rear and new holes drilled in the end plate of the platform. This may be dependent on crop conditions.

Key 3 - Mounting to Existing Frame Hole39

3.6.6 Installation of Auger Flighting - OPTIONAL

This modification is considered optional and it may be beneficial to try the platform in the field in the operating conditions before making this change.

Install auger flighting on the feeding auger as indicated in Figure 41.

IMPORTANT: Remove all paint within 75mm (3 in) of weld-affected area before welding.

Two sections of flighting are used on each end of the auger, in order that it can be installed with the auger in the machine.

IMPORTANT: Isolate the area being welded from any other components, electrical or other-wise before welding.

Start the first segment of flighting approximately 10 cm (4 in) from the end of the feeding au-ger. Notch flighting as needed with a grinder to clear existing ribs on the feeding drum.

Weld the second segment to the end of the first when in position. Add gussets to the flighting as indicated, evenly spaced on each end. Weld with a stitch weld along the flighting.Repeat process on opposite end. Align start/stop points of flighting to balance the feeding auger as best as possible. Repaint as needed.
