  • Page 94: Setting The Header Cut Width

    The header sends an electrical signal to the windrower to produce a header ID. However, the cut width will always default to the smallest header size available for each header type. Once you connect the R216 Rotary Disc Header to the M205 SP Windrower, the cab display module (CDM) will automatically detect the correct header ID ( DISC and 0001 ) but you need to change the default size of 13.0 FT to a cut width that will optimize your acre count.

    Chapter 6: Unpacking the Curtain The curtain is installed at the front of the header. It minimizes the risk of thrown objects ejected at high speed from the cutterbar area. DANGER To prevent bodily injury or death from the unexpected start-up or fall of a raised machine, always stop the engine, remove the key, and engage the safety props before going under the header for any reason.
  • Page 96 UNPACKING THE CURTAIN 7. Ensure bumper (A) aligns with the rotary disc header top shield and tighten all loosened hardware (B) to 39 Nm (28.7 lbf·ft) so bumper (A) and cutterbar curtain (C) are held snugly in place. WARNING Ensure the cutterbar is completely clear of foreign objects. These objects can be ejected with considerable force when the machine is started and may result in serious injury or machine damage.
