Setting Preset Cutting Height - MacDon FlexDraper FD1 Series Operator's Manual

Setting Preset Cutting Height (Case 7010/8010, 7120/8120/9120, 7230/8230/9230,
7240/8240/9240)
To set the preset cutting height, follow these steps:
NOTE:
Changes may have been made to the combine controls or display since this document was published. Refer to the
combine operator's manual for updates.
NOTE:
The indicator (A) should be at position 0 (B) with the header
152 mm (6 in.) off the ground. If not, the float sensor output
voltage should be checked. Refer to Step
When the header is on the ground, the indicator should be
at position 1 (C) for low ground pressure, and at position
4 (D) for high ground pressure. Crop and soil conditions
determine the amount of float to use. The ideal setting is as
light as possible without header bouncing or missing crop.
Operating with heavy settings prematurely wears the
cutterbar wearplates.
1. Engage separator and header.
2. Manually raise or lower header to a desired cutting
height.
3. Press SET #1 switch (A). The light (C) beside switch (A)
will illuminate.
NOTE:
Use switch (E) for fine adjustments.
NOTE:
When setting presets, always set header position
before setting reel position. If header and reel are set at
the same time, the reel setting will not save.
4. Manually raise or lower reel to desired position.
5. Press SET #1 switch (A). The light (C) beside switch (A)
will illuminate.

cutting height.
