3.11 Leveling Header
The float module is set at the factory to provide the proper level for the header and should not normally require
adjustment. However, if adjustment is required, a procedure for doing so is provided.
Normally, the header level does not need to be adjusted. Before attempting to level the header, perform the following
checks:
•
Ensure that the combine
’
s tires are inflated to the correct pressure.
•
Ensure that the combine
’
s feeder house is level. For instructions, refer to the combine operator
’
s manual.
•
Ensure that the top of the float module is level and is parallel with the combine
’
s feeder house by checking the spirit
level on the float module.
IMPORTANT:
The float springs are
NOT
used to level the header.
If the header still is not level, perform the following steps:
