SECTION 00 - GENERAL INFORMATION - CHAPTER 2

CUTTING HEIGHT
WARNING
Disengage the PTO, turn off the tractor engine
and remove the key. Wait for all movement to
stop before leaving operator’s position. Never
adjust, lubricate, clean or unplug machine with
the engine running. Failure to comply could
result in death or serious injury.
The cutting height is adjustable by changing the
header angle. The unit is equipped with a hydraulic
tilt cylinder, 1. The cylinder operates in conjunction
with the lift cylinders. When the tractor lift valve is
operated the tilt cylinder retracts, tilting the header
back; the lift cylinders then raise the unit.
When the unit is lowered, the tilt cylinder will extend
after the lift cylinders fully retract.
The header tilt can be limited to 2 degrees, 5 degrees
or 10 degrees by repositioning pin, 2.
2 degrees = approx. 76 mm (3 in) cutting height
5 degrees = approx. 57 mm (2-1/4 in) cutting height
10 degrees = approx. 32 mm (1-1/4 in) cutting height
Tilt limiter pin, 2, can be repositioned with the header
raised and the tilt cylinder fully retracted. Be sure to
reinstall the retaining clip, 3.
For 2 degree header tilt, insert the pin through the
plate slots and the rear rod hole, 4, as shown. This
position locks up the tilt cylinder, preventing the
header from tilting.

For 5 degree header tilt, insert the pin through the
plate slots and the front rod hole, 1, as shown. This
position allows the tilt cylinder to extend the length of
the slot in the channel, so the header tilts forward to
a mid-position.
