Slow Speed Transport / Stabilizer Wheel Option
Important:
There should only be one point of contact with the ground at any time,
either the cutterbar, skid shoes or stabilizer wheels.
When cutting
on the ground:
All stabilizer wheels should be locked into the highest
notch with wheels completely off the ground.
When cutting
off the ground
with Slow Speed Transport wheels or Stabilizer wheels:
Auto header height control when cutting off the ground:
To operate with AHHC when cutting off the ground, it might
be necessary to lighten float or to add slightly more compression to stabilizer wheel springs so that the header will float
upward off of adapter to sense terrain.
Ensure that float is unlocked and properly adjusted.
Do not over compress springs as this may result in hazard or damage to the shock and spring assembly.
Set header to desired height then position wheels to nearest notch
that allows springs to be slightly compressed.
IMPORTANT:
Continuous operation with excessive spring compression (i.e., load
indicator reading greater than 4 or a compressed length
(A)
less than
295 mm [11-5/8 in.]) can result in damage to the suspension system.
