Auger
1. Park combine and header on a level surface. Ensure
that the combine feederhouse is level.
2. Place wing lock spring handles in the locked position.
3. Set guard angle to mid-position (between B and C on the
indicator).
4. Set the reel fore-aft to mid-position (5 or 6 on reel arm
indicator).
5. Lower reel completely.
6. If equipped, set stabilizer/transport wheels to the fully
raised position.
7. Raise header so cutterbar is 6-10 inches (150-250 mm)
above ground.
8. Place header float locks in unlocked (lowered) position.
STEP 1: PRE-ADJUSTMENTS
Complete before adjusting Float or Wing Balance.
1. Remove the special torque wrench (A) from storage
position on RH side of the CA25 combine adapter.
2. Place torque wrench (A) on the float lock at (B).
3. Push down on torque wrench (A) until bell crank (C)
rotates forward.
4. Continue pushing down until indicator (D) on wrench
reaches a MAXIMUM reading and begins to decrease.
Note the maximum reading.
5. Refer to TABLE 1 for recommended initial float setting:
If reading on wrench is high, header is heavy, and
float needs to be increased.
If reading on wrench is low, header is light, and float
needs to be decreased.
6. Adjust header float to match values in TABLE 1.
Turn each bolt pair equal amounts.
To
increase float
(lighten header), tighten (clockwise)
float spring bolts (E) and (F).
To
decrease float
(increase header weight), loosen
(counter clockwise) float spring bolts (E) and (F).
Ensure wrench reading is equal on both sides.
NOTE
For 40 and 45 FT Double Knife Headers,
adjust float as above, and then loosen
RIGHT SIDE FLOAT spring bolts (F)
2 turns.

TABLE 1
THESE ARE THE 4 STEPS TO SET
HEADER FLOAT AND WING BALANCE
IMPORTANT
Be sure to have read your Operator’s
Manual, and complete all set-up tasks
before setting Header Float and Wing
Balance.
Notes:
1.
Keep guard angle
as shallow as
possible. Center link
position depends on
skid shoe and stabi-
lizer wheel position.
Set guard angle and
skid shoe position
to maximize amount
of poly on the
g r o u n d w h i l e
maintaining desired
cutting height.
2. Minimum knife drive
p u l l e y
R P M .
Applicable to only
single knife drive
headers.
3. Percentage
above
ground speed.
4. Cutting
height
is
controlled with a
combination of skid
shoes, stabilizer
wheels and header
angle. By support-
ing header with skid
shoes or stabilizer
wheels, the adapter
floats header over
o b s t a c l e s a n d
ground contours.
5. Available
through
your Dealer Parts
Department. Set
divider rods to
highest or second to
highest position in
standing crop. This
position allows the
dividers to level the
down crop for a
cleaner cut at the
ends of the header.
Whisker divider not
required on both
ends of header.
