6.4.6 CUTTING HEIGHT
The header is raised or lowered with the HEADER
UP or HEADER DOWN switches on the Ground
Speed Lever (GSL). See illustration. The Cab
Display Module (CDM) indicates the header height
by a reading on the DISPLAY lower line between
00.0 and 10.0, with 00.0 being on the ground. Use
DISPLAY SELECTOR switch to display the
current setting.
6.4.6.1 Return to Cut
The M Series monitoring system will assist the
Operator in maintaining the desired cutting height
with the RETURN TO CUT feature that can be
turned off or on with a switch on the Cab Display
Module (CDM).
The RETURN TO CUT feature enables the
Operator to have the header return to a
pre-selected cutting height and angle. If desired,
the CDM can be programmed so that only the
cutting height feature is active. The unit is
pre-programmed to activate both cutting height
and header angle.
The AUTO RAISE HEIGHT feature allows the
Operator to raise the header to a pre-selected
height while in the RETURN TO CUT mode. See
Section 6.4.6.2 Auto-Raise Height.
a. Program the RETURN TO CUT feature as follows:
IMPORTANT
The windrower must be running with the
header engaged.
1. RETURN TO CUT switch must be OFF
(indicator light is off).
2. Adjust the header to the desired cutting height
with the HEADER UP or HEADER DOWN
switches on the Ground Speed Lever (GSL).
CDM displays between
00.0 and 10.0 .
3. Adjust the header angle with the HEADER
TILT UP or HEADER TILT DOWN switches
on the GSL. CDM displays between
.0 and
10.0 . This step is not required if height only
has been pre-selected.
4. Press the RETURN TO CUT switch on the
CDM. The indicator light will illuminate, and
the settings are now programmed into the
Windrower Control Module (WCM).
b. Use the RETURN TO CUT feature as follows:
IMPORTANT
Ensure the header is engaged and the
RETURN TO CUT switch is illuminated.
NOTE
The header can be raised or lowered at any
time by depressing and holding the
HEADER UP or HEADER DOWN switches
on the GSL.
1. If header is above the pre-set cutting height,
momentarily press HEADER DOWN switch,
and header will return to pre-set height.
