HORN SIZE <= 2.5 INCH?
(YES/NO)
If the machine is configured with a 3-
position skin-brake, this option is used to
allow or prohibit the skin-brake from
going to the load position (off the horn)
depending on the horn size. For horns
greater than 2.5 inches, the skin-brake
housing is too large to fit between the
voiders; therefore, the skin-brake cannot
shuttle off the horn.
Yes or No
No

load positions). set to NO, if the machine
