D. HEADER FLOTATION

The windrower float springs are not used to level

the header.
To adjust float, proceed as follows:

a. Check float by grasping the lean bar and lifting.

The force to lift should be 75 - 85 lbf

(335 - 380 N), and should be approximately the

same at both ends.

b. Perform the following steps to adjust the float if

necessary:
1. Raise the header fully, shutdown the engine,

and remove the key.

2. Turn drawbolt (A) clockwise to increase float

(makes header lighter), or counter clockwise

to decrease float (makes header heavier).

3. Re-check the float.
