6.4.5 Header
Angle
Header angle is defined as the angle between
the ground and the drapers/cutterbar and is
adjustable to accommodate crop conditions
and/or soil type.
Refer to the appropriate operator’s manual for
range of adjustment and recommended settings
for your particular header.
The header angle can be hydraulically adjusted
from the cab without shutting down the
windrower (M200 standard equipment - M150
optional equipment). A readout on the CDM
allows the operator to establish settings for each
crop condition.
IMPORTANT
Changing header angle will affect flotation
slightly because it has the effect of making
the header lighter or heavier.
IMPORTANT
To prevent excessive guard breakage
when conditions are not suited to heavier
float (e.g. rocky or wet), do not use the tilt
control on the go. Instead, use the header
height switch.
Change header angle as follows:
a. To decrease (flatten) header angle, operate
HEADER TILT UP switch on GSL handle so that
cylinder (A) retracts. The CDM display will show
a reading on the lower line of decreasing value
between 00.0 and 10.0.
b. To increase (steepen) header angle, operate
HEADER TILT DOWN switch on GSL handle so
that cylinder (A) extends. The CDM display will
show a reading on the lower line of increasing
value between 00.0 and 10.0.
c. The header tilt switch can be deactivated to
prevent inadvertent header angle changes when
pressing the header height control switches.
1. To deactivate, press and hold PROGRAM
switch and momentarily press either
HEADER TILT UP or HEADER TILT
DOWN.
NOTE
If either of the header tilt switches are
pressed while deactivated, the lower
display line will indicate “TILT DISABLED”
for five seconds along with a tone.
2. To reactivate, repeat above procedure.
