Quick Reference Guide
S67/S68/S96 • S77/S78/S97 • S88/S98 Models
It is YOUR responsibility to read and understand the safety section in your
Operator’s Manual and the manual for all attachments before operating your
machine. Remember YOU are the key to safety. Good safety practices not only
protect you, but also the people around you.
Study the features in your Operator’s Manual and make them a working part of
your safety program. Keep in mind that the safety section in your Operator’s
Manual is written only for this type of machine. Practice all other usual and
customary safe working precautions, and above all REMEMBER -SAFETY IS
YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. YOU CAN PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH.

Initial Header & Header Drive Setup
•Cutterbar locked up on flex headers.
•Variable speed header drive in slowest position.
•Right-hand pivot drive belt positioned on large countershaft drive
sheave.
•Left separator cage cover should be required for all cereal crops.
Straw Chopper
•Position chopper drive belt so chopper is operating at fast speed.
Tips
•Filler bars may be required for hard threshing cereals to eliminate white
caps.Order Concave Filler Bar #71440060 from your dealer. Filler bars
come standard with the machine MY14 to current.
•If white caps persist after suggested configuration changes have been
made, a1/2" thresher bar #71485652 option is available.

•Set concave to stem thickness just below head for starting point.
•Run in low range of rotor gearbox for greater torque if possible (S8
Series has greater range to provide ability to run on low side of
gearbox). Running in the low RPM's of the high range will increase
belt slip which reduces belt life.
Initial Header & Header Drive Setup
•Lock up cutterbar on flex headers.
•Variable speed header drive in slowest position.
•Right-hand pivot drive belt positioned on large countershaft drive

•IMPORTANT: Set chaffer to achieve acceptable grain bin sample.
Opening chaffer can be done anytime. However, due to the natureof
the electronics, closing the chaffer should be done at the end of the
field after cleanout by completely opening and then closing to the
lower number that you desire and then adjusting up to the desired
chaffer setting.
Initial Header & Header Drive Setup
•Variable speed header drive hose and coupler should be
connected.
•Right-hand pivot drive belt positioned on small countershaft
drive sheave.
Tips
•Use round end corn chaffer for higher moisture corn.
•A grain chaffer is optional, but corn chaffer is recommended.
•*Removal of lower sieve will increase capacity in higher yielding
corn. 2

Tips
•Use round end corn chaffer for higher moisture corn.
•Use grain chaffer for drier corn. This is also useful when frequently
switching between corn and soybean harvest.
•Removal of lower sieve will increase capacity in higher yielding, high
moisture corn.
•In high moisture corn with wet green leaves, start at 350 RPM to optimize
performance and eliminate any chance for plugging of processor with crop
residue which could result in rotor loss. Increase in 20 RPM increments up
to a maximum of 400 RPM in these wet green leaves for desired
performance.

Initial Header & Header Drive Setup
•Release and adjust cutterbar on flex headers. Adjust header height
control.
•Variable speed header drive in slowest position.
•Right-hand pivot drive belt positioned on large countershaft drive
sheave.
Tips
•Round-end corn chaffer can remain in combine for soybeans however, if
grain sample quality needs to be improved, standard chaffer is available.
•Left-hand separator cage cover and chopper floor cover are required for
soybeans.
•Retractable stationary knives should be left in the lower position in
soybeans. If additional chop of residue is required, the stationary knives
should be partially raised up in small increments to avoid excessive power
requirements. The 24-knife chopper available on S7 Series, standard on
all S8 Series and S9 Series, will provide adequate chop in most cases.

Initial Header & Header Drive Setup
•Variable speed header drive (if equipped) in slowest position for draper
headers and direct cut headers.
•Right-hand pivot drive belt positioned on large countershaft drive sheave.
•Feed chains (front and rear) should be in high position and fast speed.
•Angle pickup header down so pickup attachment and pickup header auger
can breakup clumps of crop material and more evenly feed the feed chains.
Lower wind board accordingly.
Tips
•During day in dry conditions, slow the rotor down; at night when conditions
are damp speed rotor up.
•Feeder house optimization instructions for R Series, S7 and S8 Series are
available at your Gleaner dealer to increase capacity in canola.

•Remove all reverse bars and replace with forward bars and remove
separator knives if installed.
Initial Header & Header Drive Setup
•Cutter Bar -In some crops, the material is direct cut so the header should
be set-up accordingly. In many cases, the crop is windrowed and the
material is harvested from the windrow.
•Variable speed header drive in slowest position.
•Right-hand pivot drive belt positioned on large countershaft drive sheave
and small driven pivot sheave.
Tips
•Optional perforated boot covers on clean grain and tailings elevators may
be used if desired but, can cause cracking in certain conditions.
•Optional slow speed elevator kit may be used if desired. Order SlowSpeed
Elevator Kit #700963993G for machines built before January 1st 2018.
Kit #71474176G for machines built after December 31st 2017.
Additional Combine Setup
•If cracking of beans still occurs, remove all lugs on front accelerator roll
and leave lugs on rear accelerator roll to move crop. Lugs should be
reinstalled immediately for all other crops.
