6.4.5 HEADER ANGLE
Header angle is defined as the angle between
the ground and the drapers/cutterbar and is
adjustable to accommodate crop conditions
and/or soil type.
Refer to the appropriate header operator’s
manual for range of adjustment and
recommended settings for your particular
header.
The header angle can be hydraulically adjusted
from the cab without shutting down the
windrower. A readout on the CDM allows the
operator to establish settings for each crop
condition.
IMPORTANT
Changing header angle will affect flotation
slightly because it has the effect of making
the header lighter or heavier.
IMPORTANT
To prevent excessive guard breakage
when conditions are not suited to heavier
float (e.g. rocky or wet), do not use the tilt
control on the go. Instead, use the header
height switch.
Change header angle as follows:
a. To decrease (flatten) header angle, operate
HEADER TILT UP switch on GSL handle so that
cylinder (A) retracts. The CDM display will show
a reading on the lower line of decreasing value
between 00.0 and 10.0.
b. To increase (steepen) header angle, operate
HEADER TILT DOWN switch on GSL handle so
that cylinder extends. The CDM display will
show a reading on the lower line of increasing
value between 00.0 and 10.0.
c. The header tilt switch can be deactivated to
prevent inadvertent header angle changes when
pressing the header height control switches.
Refer to paragraph 5.17.5 Cab Display Module
Programming
1. Switch to PROGRAM mode on CDM.
2. Press SELECT until SET CONTROL
LOCKS? is displayed.
3. Press to display HEADER TILT.
4. Press to LOCK (deactivate) the
control.
5. Press PROGRAM to exit.
d. Periodically check the operation of the hook
locking mechanism and ensure that it is working
properly as follows:
1. If header is attached to windrower,
disconnect center link hook from header by
pulling up on handle (A) to release the
locking device and then lifting the hook off
the header pin.
