3.7.3 Checking and Adjusting Header Wing Balance
IMPORTANT:
Before proceeding, the header fl oat must be set properly. Refer to
Checking and Adjusting Header Float, page 56
.
The header wing balance allows the wings to react to
changing ground conditions. If set too light, the wings
will bounce or not follow ground contours, leaving uncut
crop. If set too heavy, the end of the header will dig into
the ground. After the header
fl oat has been set, the wings
must be balanced for the header to follow the ground
contours properly.
