6.8 - Smooth drum's scraper
The function of the scraper (R) is to prevent
the harvested crop from rolling onto the
smooth drum or accumulating inside the
platform, blocking the feed. To perform its
function efficiently, the scraper should remain
positioned as close to the smooth drum as
possible without touching it.
The purpose of the scraper is not to
assist the rotor to chop the crops, this
function is only of the counter-knife.
The scraper should be adjusted with
the smooth drum and not with the
knives.
