The optional hydraulic reversing kit must be installed.
IMPORTANT:
Hose plumbing to the reverser block is speci fi c to the header type. To prevent damage to the reel on D-Series
headers, refer to the reverser kit installation instruction MD# 169213 when switching from an auger header to a
draper header on the same windrower.

Figure 4.91: Operator Console
4.4.5 Adjusting Header Angle
Header angle is de fi ned as the angle between the ground and the drapers/cutterbar. It is adjustable to
accommodate crop conditions and/or soil type.
Refer to the appropriate header operator’s manual for the range of adjustment and recommended settings for your
particular header.
The header angle can be hydraulically adjusted from the cab without shutting down the windrower when the
windrower is equipped with the hydraulic center-link. A readout on the cab display module (CDM) allows you to
establish settings for each crop condition.
IMPORTANT:
• Changing header angle will affect fl oat slightly because it has the effect of making the header lighter or heavier.
• To prevent excessive guard breakage when conditions are not suited to heavier fl oat (e.g., rocky or wet), do
NOT
use the TILT CONTROL “on the go”. Instead, use the HEADER HEIGHT switch.
