Leveling Header
The float module is factory-set to provide the proper level for the header. It should not normally require adjustment.
If the header is not level, perform the following checks prior to adjusting the leveling linkages:
•
Check the combine tire pressures.
•
Check that the combine feeder house is level. Refer to your combine operator
’
s manual for instructions.
•
Check that the top of the float module is level and parallel with the feeder house.
NOTE:
The float springs are
NOT
used to level the header.
