22. Select switch (A), so that it turns green, to activate the float.
23. If the float is not already set up, set the float as follows:
a. The float preset, which is selected using the operator's console, is displayed at location (B). Confirm if the desired
preset is selected.
b. Select arrows (C) to set the target float for the left side of the header. Value (E) is the actual amount of float
(measured by the left float sensor).
c. Select arrows (D) to set the target float for the right side of the header. Value (F) is the actual amount of float
(measured by the left float sensor).
NOTE:
Adjusting the float by increments of 1.0 (out of 10) changes the header weight at the cutterbar by approximately 91 kg
(200 lb.). Adjust the float in increments of 0.05 to fine-tune the header's performance.
NOTE:
Symbols (G) and (H) mean the left and right float sensors are not working. You can still manually set the float, but you
should first check if the sensors were disabled through the HarvestTouch
SENSORS), or if another problem is causing the sensors to fail.
24. Shut down the engine, and remove the key from the ignition.
25. Check the float as follows:
a. Grasp one end of the draper header and lift it. The lifting force should be 335–380 N (75–85 lbf) (with stabilizer/
transport wheels raised, if equipped).
b. Repeat this step on the other side of the header.
