Header Operating Variables
Satisfactory function of the header in all situations requires making proper adjustments to suit various crops
and conditions.
Correct operation reduces crop loss and increases productivity. As well, proper adjustments and timely maintenance
will increase the length of service you receive from your machine.
The variables listed in Table
3.4 Operating Variables, page 49
and detailed on the following pages will affect the
performance of your header.
You will quickly become adept at adjusting the machine to achieve the results you desire. Most of the adjustments
have been preset at the factory, but the settings can be changed to suit crop conditions.

Cutting Height
The header design allows you to cut the crop above the ground in relation to the desired stubble height or to cut
the crop at ground level with the header on the ground. Cutting height will vary depending on the type of crop,
crop conditions, etc.
Cutting off the Ground
The stabilizer wheel system is designed to minimize bouncing at the header ends and may be used to
fl
oat the
header to achieve an even cutting height when cutting above ground level in cereal grains. The system produces
even stubble height and greatly reduces operator fatigue.
Cutting height is controlled using a combination of the combine header height control and a stabilizer wheel system
(or stabilizer/slow speed transport wheel system).
If stabilizer wheels are installed, refer to
Adjusting Stabilizer Wheels, page 51
to change the wheel position.
If stabilizer/slow speed transport wheels are installed, refer to
Adjusting Stabilizer/Slow Speed Transport Wheels,
to change the wheel position.
