5.4 cONTROLS
Before starting to work, all operators should familiarize
themselves with the location and function of the controls
and safety devices. Some machines may vary due to dif-
ferent models of combines and headers.
MANiFOLD TiLT:
Moving the toggle switch to the FORE position (Figures
75 & 76) extends the shaft of the electric actuator. This
rotates the manifold, directing the air tubes towards
the back of the header. See Section 5.5 for the cen-
ter stroke position which points the air tubes directly
behind the cutterbar.
Moving the toggle switch to the AFT position retracts
the shaft of the electric actuator. This rotates the
manifold, directing the air tubes towards the front of
the header.
