A-Series, R-Series, or D-Series without  
hydraulic deck shift 

 

FLOAT PRESET/DECK SHIFT switch allows 
for auto-memory of three different trim cylinder 
positions. For example: 

 

#1 - Border width LH 5.0, RH 6.5 
#2 - Normal width LH 5.0, RH 5.0 
#3 - Rocky width LH 6.5, RH 6.5 

 
D-Series with hydraulic deck shift 

 

DECK SHIFT switch activates hydraulic deck 
shifting when header is engaged, and allows for 
auto-memory of trim cylinder adjustments in 
each delivery opening position. 
 
Allows for compensation of weight shifts to the 
float springs. 

Float Presets 

1.  Place GSL in 

N-DETENT

2.  Set throttle to start position—fully back. 

3.  Sound horn three times. 

4.  Turn ignition key to 

RUN

 position. 

Single loud tone sounds, engine warning lights illuminate, and 
CDM displays HDR DISENGAGED or HEADER ENGAGED and 
IN PARK. 

5.  Turn ignition key to 

START

 position until engine starts, and then 

release key. Tone ceases and warning lights go out. 

CDM displays the programmed header data for five seconds  
(if attached) and then returns to previous display.

Battery Disconnect  

A battery main disconnect switch (A) is located on the right cab-
forward side frame rail, just behind the batteries, and can be 
easily accessed by moving the maintenance platform. 

 

Ensure the switch is in  
the 

POWER OFF  

position when servicing  
electrical components,  
or to prevent loss of  
battery charge when  
the windrower will not 
be used for periods  
longer than one week.
