NOTE:
Indicator (A) should be at position 0 (B) with the header 152 mm
(6 in.) off the ground. If not, the float sensor output voltage
should be checked. For instructions, refer to Step
.
When the header is on the ground, the indicator should be at
position 1 (C) for low ground pressure, and at position 4 (D) for
high ground pressure. Crop and soil conditions determine the
amount of float to use. The ideal setting is as light as possible
without header bouncing or missing crop. Operating with heavy
settings prematurely wears the cutterbar wearplates.
1.
Engage separator and header.
