6.4.6 CUTTING HEIGHT

HEADER UP
HEADER DOWN
The header is raised or lowered with the HEADER
UP or HEADER DOWN switches on the GSL.
The CDM indicates the header height by a reading
on the DISPLAY lower line between 00.0 and
10.0, with 00.0 being on the ground.
DISPLAY SELECTOR switch to display the
current setting.
6.4.6.1 Return to Cut
The M Series monitoring system will assist the
operator in maintaining the desired cutting height
with the RETURN TO CUT feature that can be
turned off or on with a switch on the CDM.
The RETURN TO CUT feature enables the
operator to have the header return to a pre-
selected cutting height and angle.
If desired, the CDM can be programmed so that
only the cutting height feature is active.
The unit is pre-programmed to activate both
cutting height and header angle.
The AUTO RAISE HEIGHT feature allows the
operator to raise the header to a pre-selected
height while in the RETURN TO CUT mode. See
Section 6.4.6.2 Auto-Raise Height.
