16.8 - Reverse Operation

When the combine feeder house is reversed, the 

drapers, knife, feed auger drum, cross auger and 

reel run backwards to assist with unplugging.

Do not reverse the mechanical system until all 

parts have come to a complete stop.  Failure to do 

so WILL result in damage to the header.

16.9 - Feed Auger Drum Settings

Set the feeder house finger adjustment plate to the 

middle position (fingers extended fully forward).

Fig. 92 - Feed auger fingers fully forward

See section 

14.2 on page 51

 for details on 

adjusting the feed auger.

16.10 - Combine Header Height 

Settings

When setting the Header Height sensitivity, increase 

the value until the header starts hunting then back 

off 10-20% for both lift and lateral tilt.

•  Raise Rate: 5 seconds (bottom to top)
• 

Drop Rate: 7 seconds (top to bottom)

Ensure the Header Height system is calibrated on 

the header first, then on the Combine.

16.11 - Blue LED Air Compressor 

Indicator Lamp

There is a blue LED indicator mounted on the panel 

above the air tank (left side of subframe).  This LED 

will light up when the air compressor is running.
