Header Lift Cylinder Stops
Cylinder stops are located on both header lift

Proceed as follows:
1. Hold the up switch until both cylinders stop
moving.
2. Press HEADER DOWN switch to lower the
header all the way down, and continue to
hold the switch for 3-4 seconds.
3. Raise the header again to full height.
b. Pull lever (A) and rotate toward header to
release and lower cylinder stop (B) onto
cylinder. Repeat for both lift cylinders.
