IMPORTANT:
Continuous operation with excessive spring
compression (i.e., load indicator reading greater
than 4 or a compressed length less than
11-5/8 in. [295 mm]) (A) can result in damage to the
suspension system.
6. Adjust the header angle to the desired working angle
with the machine’s header angle controls. If header
angle is not critical, set it to mid-position.
7. Use the combine’s Auto Header Height Control
(AHHC) to automatically maintain cutting height. Refer
to
3.8 Auto Header Height Control (AHHC), page 99
and your combine operator’s manual for details.
NOTE:
The height sensor on the FM100 Float Module must
be connected to the combine height control system
in the cab.
