OPERATION 3.11 Header Transport Refer to your combine operator’s manual for transporting headers when attached to the combine. 3.11.1 Transport Lights The transport lights (A), which are mounted on both ends of the header, are activated by switches inside the combine cab.
Page 84: Header Operation
OPERATION 3.12 Header Operation Satisfactory operation of the header in all situations requires making proper adjustments to suit various crops and conditions. Proper operation reduces crop loss and increases productivity, and proper adjustments and timely maintenance will increase the length of service you receive from your machine. The variables listed in Table 3.3, page 70 and detailed on the following pages will affect header performance.
Page 85: Adjusting Draper Speed
OPERATION The following operating speed is suggested: Front and Rear Deck Aft Roller: 51 rpm per 1.6 km/h (1 mph) of combine ground speed. Example: For combining at 8 km/h (5 mph), the rear roller shaft should run at 51 x (8/1.6) = 255 rpm (51 x 5 mph = 255 rpm).
Page 86: Auger Operation
OPERATION 3.12.2 Auger Operation Auger Speed The header is equipped with an auger drive sprocket to match the combine. The auger is chain-driven by a direct connection to the feeder house, and auger speed depends on the feeder house speed. You can adjust auger speeds from the combine to suit crop conditions.
Page 87: Adjusting Auger Position
OPERATION Adjusting Auger Position The auger is adjustable on both ends in order to maintain uniform clearance across the entire width of the header. DANGER To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected startup of machine, always stop engine and remove key from ignition before leaving operator’s seat for any reason.
Page 88: Auger Float
OPERATION Figure 3.91: Right Side Auger Stop Auger Float The auger has an upward float range of 74 mm (3 in.), but it can be locked to operate in rigid-header mode.

Page 95 OPERATION 3. Check the pick-up height (A). Refer to Pick-Up Height, page 80, and complete Steps 4, page 81 10, page 81, if adjustment is necessary. Figure 3.107: Pick-Up Height 4. Use the combine controls to fully raise the header and take the load off the wheels.
Page 96: Adjusting Header Float
OPERATION 3.12.4 Adjusting Header Float Header float is factory set, but it can be adjusted if the wheel ground pressure is higher than desired or if it is too light and the wheels don’t follow ground terrain. DANGER To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected startup of machine, always stop engine and remove key from ignition before leaving operator’s seat for any reason.
Page 97 OPERATION 5. Check that all spring tension is released from the spring float assembly (A). Remove cotter pin (B), clevis pin (C), and three flat washers (D). NOTE: When spring tension is fully released, spring coils should be fully collapsed and the spring float assembly should rock from side to side when moved by hand.
Page 98: Hold-Downs
OPERATION 3.12.5 Hold-Downs Hold-downs help crop to transition smoothly from the drapers to the auger and can be adjusted for crop conditions. Hold-Down Position Hold-down position refers to the position of the fiberglass rods (A) with respect to the swath and can be adjusted according to crop conditions.
Page 99: Adjusting Hold-Down Rod Angle
OPERATION Adjusting Hold-Down Rod Angle The angle between the fiberglass rods (C) and the hold-down support arms is factory-set to optimize crop flow into the combine. The factory setting should be satisfactory for most crop conditions, but the rods are adjustable if necessary.

Page 102: Adjusting Front Draper Belt Tension
OPERATION Adjusting Front Draper Belt Tension Draper belt tension is factory-set, but it should be checked before operating. Figure 3.118: Front Deck Adjusting Bolts The stepped position indicator gauges are used to precisely align each side of the front and rear decks. Each notch (A) represents an adjustment of 1 mm (3/64 in.).
Page 103 OPERATION 5. Loosen jam nut (A) on the right side of the header, and turn adjuster nut (B) until the position of stepped position indicator gauge (C) is identical to the left side. Figure 3.121: Right Side Stepped Position Indicator Gauge 6.
Page 104: Adjusting Rear Draper Belt Tension
OPERATION Adjusting Rear Draper Belt Tension The stepped position indicator gauges are used to precisely align each side of the front and rear decks. Each notch (A) represents an adjustment of 1 mm (3/64 in.). Figure 3.123: Stepped Position Indicators 1.
Page 105: Driveline
OPERATION 3.12.8 Driveline Clutch The header-to-combine driveline contains a radial pin clutch (A) that provides protection against overload. When the auger encounters an obstruction, an overload occurs and the clutch slips while making a rattling sound and pulsating action. Frequent slippage of more than 2 or 3 seconds may result in clutch damage.
Page 106: Unplugging The Header
OPERATION 3.13 Unplugging the Header DANGER To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected startup of machine, always stop engine and remove key from ignition before leaving operator’s seat for any reason. 1. Stop forward movement of the combine and disengage the header. 2.
Page 107: Adjusting The Pan Seal Assembly
OPERATION 3.14 Adjusting the Pan Seal Assembly The flap provides a tighter seal to the rear draper, but the draper connection hardware will eventually wear down the rubber flap. If plugging occurs between the rear draper and the pan seal bar, the rubber flap can be removed to eliminate the pan seal.
Page 108: Storing The Header
OPERATION 3.15 Storing the Header Perform the following tasks before storing the header at the end of each operating season: CAUTION Never use gasoline, naphtha, or any volatile material for cleaning purposes. These materials may be toxic and/or flammable. 1. Clean the header thoroughly. 2.
Page 109: Chapter 4: Ahhc System
NOTE: This section does not apply to Versatile combines. Sensors installed at each end of the PW8 Pick-Up Header send a signal to the combine allowing it to maintain a consistent cutting height as the header follows ground contours. PW8 Pick-Up Headers are factory-equipped for AHHC; however, before using AHHC feature, you must do the following: 1.
Page 110: Ahhc Sensor Operation
4.1.2 Header Height Sensors The PW8 Pick-Up Header is equipped with two height sensors—one at each end of header. The height sensors do not require maintenance, but they may need to be repaired or replaced due to normal wear and tear.
