All headers require header kits to function properly on the Model 3700S Leveling System.
Contact your dealer for additional information on these kits.
REAR AXLE WEIGHTING
Proper rear axle weighting of a combine equipped with a Hillco leveling system is critical to
the performance and safety of operation. Rear axle weighting increases the tip angle of the
combine to improve down hill maneuvers. The appropriate weighting is dependent on such
items as feeder house length, header selection, and tire selection. Consult your authorized
Hillco dealer for weighting information.
Weight can be added to the rear axle through:
1) Calcium Chloride in rear tires
2) Case IH® Rear Wheel Weight System
3) Hillco Bolt-On Weights
Use caution when using individual turning brakes. Installation of a Hillco Leveling System
transmits additional weight to the rear axle of the combine. Excessive braking to turn can
damage your combine chassis.
The responsibility for making the final determination of appropriate
rear axle weighting lies with the operator.
When first operating the leveling system in hillside conditions, begin operation on gradual
slopes and work up to more severe slopes only after you have determined that rear axle
weighting is appropriate for downhill maneuvers. The first indication of insufficient rear axle
weighting is sluggish or unresponsive steering while traveling down hill. This effect will
worsen if the operator decelerates. Make sure rear axle weighting is sufficient for safe down
hill maneuvers, under normal deceleration, in your most severe down hill conditions.
Use of grain tank extensions other than those provided by the
combine manufacturer is strictly forbidden. Use of such
extensions voids both the Hillco and Case IH® NEW
Equipment Warranties.
REAR AXLE TOE IN
If the rear tire and wheel size has changed from OEM the toe in should be checked. Consult
the Case IH® 5088/6088/7088 Operator’s Manual on the correct toe in for your tire and
wheel size.
REAR AXLE TREAD WIDTH
Refer to the Case IH® 5088/6088/7088 Operator’s Manual for correct Rear Axle Tread Width
and Stop Bolt Length for tire size (Tire Selection Chart).
Improper adjustment can cause
severe damage to the return elevator, shielding and tires.
