13. Lower the header to the desired cutting height using
the windrower controls and check the load indicator.
IMPORTANT:
Continuous operation with excessive spring
compression (i.e., load indicator reading greater than
'4' or a compressed length (A) less than 11-5/8 in.
[295 mm]) can result in damage to the suspension
system.
14. Adjust the header angle to the desired working angle
with the machine's header angle controls. If header
angle is not critical, set it to mid-position.
15. Use the windrower cab display module (CDM) controls
to automatically maintain cutting height. Refer to your
windrower operator's manual for details.
Adjusting Stabilizer Wheels
A properly adjusted header will achieve a balance between the amount of header weight carried by the float and
the amount carried by the stabilizer wheels.
DANGER
To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected start-up of machine, always stop engine and remove key
from ignition before leaving operator's seat for any reason.
1. Raise the header until the stabilizer wheels are off the ground. Shut down engine and remove the key.
2. Check that the float is working properly. Refer to your windrower operator's manual for instructions.
CAUTION
Handle may be under tension—especially when the wheels are on the ground. Raise the header until the
wheels are off the ground before making adjustments.
