E. HEADER LEVELLING
The windrower linkages are factory set to
provide the proper level for the header and
should not normally require adjustment.
If the header is not level, perform the following
checks prior to adjusting the leveling linkages.
The float springs are not used to level the
header.
a. Park windrower on level ground.
b. Check windrower tire pressures.
c. Raise header fully, and hold momentarily to
allow lift cylinders to re-phase.
d. Stop engine, and remove key.
DANGER
Stop engine, and remove key from ignition
before leaving operator's seat for any
reason. A child or even a pet could engage
an idling machine.
e. Place float pins (A) in “locked out” position.
CAUTION
Check to be sure all bystanders have cleared
the area.
f. Start engine, and set header approximately six
inches (150 mm) off ground. Check that
member (B) is against link (C).
g. Note “high” and “low” end of header.
h. Place wooden blocks under header cutterbar
and legs.
i. Lower header onto blocks so that members (B)
lift off links (C).
j. Shutdown the engine, and remove the key.
k. Remove nut, washer and bolt (D) that attach
shims (E) to link at the header “high end”.
l. Remove one or both shims (E), and re-install the
hardware (D).
m. Start engine, and raise header slightly. Check
level of header.
n. If additional levelling is required, install the
removed shim on the opposite linkage.
NOTE
If required, additional shims can be
ordered from your Dealer. (MacDon
#110854)
NOTE
Float does not require adjustment after
