16.7 - Operating Guidelines -
Simple RIGID mode
If desired, the air system can be fully pressurised to
90-115psi in order to lock the cutter bar into a RIGID
structure. This mode can be useful when cutting
high off the ground in situations where automatic
header height control is not required.
To activate simple RIGID mode:
1. Move the cutting mode switch on the
Automatix Lite control panel to the right until
the RIGID mode icon is activated.

2.
Move the air pressure switch to the left so the
‘+’ sy
mbol is activated. This will activate the
compressor. Monitor the air pressure until
90-115 psi is achieved, then move the air
pressure switch back to the middle position to
deactivate the air compressor.

Fig. 91 - Add air until 90-115 psi is reached.
Return to cut height can be activated through the
combine controls to set the cut height as there are
no Header Height sensors in Rigid mode on the
SDX. Please refer to combine manual for using this
function.
Activating RIGID mode will deactivate all header
height sensors and disable automatic header
height control. The header will no longer
automatically react to changes in the terrain.
16.7.1 - Recommended Reel settings
When using Rigid mode, the reel fingers should
be pitched less aggressively in order to assist
with gently pulling crops towards the cutter bar.
See section
Reel speed should be set approximately 10-20%
faster than the ground speed.
Always ensure the reel fingers have enough
clearance (1 1/2” (3.8 cm)) from the cutter bar &
feather plates.
16.7.2 - Recommended Ground speed
Adjust ground speed according to the terrain,
crop yield and combine capacity.
