Locking/Unlocking Header Float
Two header float locks
—
one on each side of the float module
—
lock and unlock the header float system.
IMPORTANT:
The float locks must be engaged when the header is being transported with the float module attached so there is no
relative movement between the float module and the header. The float locks also must be locked when detaching the float
module from the combine to enable the feeder house to release the float module.

To disengage (unlock) the float locks, pull float lock handle (A)
into position (B). In this position, the header is unlocked, and
can float with respect to the float module.
To engage (lock) the float locks, push float lock handle (A) into
position (C). In this position, the header cannot move with
respect to the float module.
Locking/Unlocking Header Wings
Locking the wings allows the FlexDraper
®
header to be operated as a rigid header with the cutterbar straight. Unlocking the
wings allows the three sections of the cutterbar to move independently to follow the ground contours.
