Checking and Adjusting Header Wing Balance
IMPORTANT:
Before proceeding, the header float must be set properly. Refer to
6.10 Checking and Adjusting Header Float, page
The header wing balance allows the wings to react to changing ground conditions. If set too light, the wings will
bounce or not follow ground contours, leaving uncut crop. If set too heavy, the end of the header will dig into the
ground. After the header float has been set, the wings must be balanced for the header to follow the ground
contours properly.

To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected startup of machine, always stop engine and remove key

Figure 6.28: Wing Imbalance
If a header wing has a tendency to be in a smile (A) or a
frown (B) position, wing balance may require adjusting.
Perform the following steps to check if the wings are not
balanced, and how much adjustment is required.
The header wings are balanced when it takes an equal
amount of force to move a wing up or down.
