Adjust doffer-to-spindle

10 Picker Pointers

4. Adjust doffer-to-spindle clearance to about three thousandths of an inch – the thickness of a dollar bill. The leading edge of the doffer lug should be very sharp, so the doffer will perform the way it should.

5. Clean and flush the spindle cleaner solution tank. Note whether the regulating spray nozzles in the moistening system are working correctly. If the pattern is unusual, clean the strainer or replace the nozzle.

6. Check the operator's manual for correct starting pressures, such as moistening system pressure and tension on the
compressor doors in the row unit. Make sure the door springs are not broken.
