Capacities
Follow these five steps in order to set the header float and wing balance:
NOTE:
Read and understand the header float section of your operator's manual before setting header float.
—
a. Park the combine on a level surface, and ensure the combine feeder
house is level. Use the bubble level on the float module.
—
b. Adjust the header so the cutterbar is 250 mm (10 in.) (A) off the
ground.
c. Set the header angle hydraulic cylinder to D on indicator (B).
1.5 liters (1.3 quarts)
d. Set the reel fore-aft to 6 on reel arm fore-aft indicator (C).
2.75 liters (2.9 quarts)
e. Lower the reel completely, shut down the combine, and remove the
key from the combine ignition.
2.25 liters (2.4 quarts)

(25.1 US gallons)
f. Remove linkage cover (A).
g. Place both left and right wing lock spring handles (B) in the locked
(upper) position. You should hear the locks engage. If not, move the
—
wings up and down, so that the locks engage.
h. Place both the left and right header float locks in unlocked (lowered)
position (A).
i. Set the stabilizer/transport wheels or contour wheels (if equipped) to
the upper most position.
