are not used to level the header.

b. Check and set float adjustment. Refer to
previous sections.

mm) off ground and check that member (A)
is against link (B). Note high and low end of

3. Place wooden blocks under header
cutterbar and legs, and lower header onto
blocks so that members (A) lift off links (B).
