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
(M200 standard equipment; M150 optional
equipment).
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.
6.4.5.1 Hydraulic Center-Link
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 Section 5.18.5 Cab Display Module
