OPERATION

IMPORTANT:
Continuous operation with excessive spring compression
(i.e., load Indicator reading greater than ‘4’ or a
compressed length (A) less than 11–5/8 in. [295 mm])
can result in damage to suspension system.

14. Adjust header angle to desired working angle with the

machine’s header angle controls. If angle is not critical,
set it to mid-position.

NOTE:
The height sensor on the CA25 adapter must be
connected to the combine header control module in the
cab.

15. Use the windrower cab display module (CDM) controls

to automatically maintain cutting height. Refer to your
windrower operator’s manual for details.
