Checking Self-Locking Center-Link Hook - MacDon M2170NT Operator's Manual

Figure 5.108: HarvestTouch
The header angle can be adjusted from the cab without shutting down the windrower. A readout on the HarvestTouch
Display indicates HEADER HEIGHT (A) and HEADER ANGLE (B).
IMPORTANT:
• Changing the header angle affects the header float because it has the effect of making the header lighter or heavier.
Adjust the float as required. For instructions, refer to
• To reduce wear and breakage when conditions are suited to a lighter float setting (for example, rocky soil) do NOT use
ground speed lever (GSL) TILT CONTROLS (C) and (D) while in motion. Instead, use HEADER HEIGHT CONTROLS (E)
and (F).
Adjust the header angle as follows:
• To decrease (flatten) the header angle, operate HEADER TILT UP switch (C) on the GSL to retract the cylinder.
• To increase (steepen) the header angle, operate HEADER TILT DOWN switch (D) on the GSL to extend the cylinder.
NOTE:
HEADER TILT switches (C) and (D) can be locked out to prevent unintentional header angle changes when pressing HEADER
HEIGHT control switches (E) and (F). For instructions, refer to
