NOTE:
Do NOT use the active header float function (A) in
combination with the MacDon auto header height control
(AHHC)—the two systems will counteract one another. The
header symbol (B) on the display should NOT have a wavy
line under it and should appear exactly as shown on the
Active Header Control Display in Figure

Setting the Sensitivity of the Auto Header Height Control (John Deere 60 Series)

The sensitivity adjustment controls the distance the cutterbar must travel up or down before the auto header height
control (AHHC) reacts and raises or lowers the feeder house. When the sensitivity is set to maximum, only small
changes in ground height are needed to cause the feeder house to raise or lower. When the sensitivity is set to
minimum, large changes in the ground height are needed to cause the feeder house to raise or lower.
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.
