Follow these five steps in order to set the header float and wing balance:
NOTE:
Read your operator's manual and complete all the setup tasks before setting the header float.
—
a. Park combine on a level surface, and ensure the combine feeder house
is level. Use bubble level on float module.
—
b. Adjust header so cutterbar is 250 mm (10 in.) (A) off the ground.
c. Set the header angle hydraulic cylinder to D on indicator (B).
d. Set the reel fore-aft to 6 on reel arm fore-aft indicator (C).
e. Lower the reel completely, shut down the combine, and remove key
from the combine ignition.
f. Remove linkage cover (A).
g. Place both left and right wing lock spring handle (B) in the locked
(upper) position. You should hear the lock engaged. If not, move the
wings up and down, so that the lock engages.
h. Place both left and right header float locks in unlocked (lowered)
position (A).
i. Set stabilizer/transport wheels or contour wheels (if equipped) to
upper most position.
