PERFORMING PREDELIVERY CHECKS

5.4

Checking/Adjusting Float

The windrower float springs are

NOT

used to level the header.

CAUTION

To prevent accidental movement of windrower, return ground speed lever (GSL) to N-DETENT, center
steering wheel to lock, shut off engine, and remove key.

To adjust the float, follow these steps:

Check float by grasping the lean bar and lifting. Lifting
force should be 335–380 N (75–85 lbf) and should be
approximately the same at both ends.

If necessary, perform the following steps to adjust
the float:

Raise header fully,

shut down engine,

and

remove key.

Turn drawbolt (A) clockwise to increase float
(makes header lighter) or counterclockwise to
decrease float (makes header heavier).

Recheck the float.
