position.
(See "Cut Height Indicator').
NOTE: Handle may be rotated on lever to allow
the operator to position switches (E) and (F)
for
maximum comfort.
To
adjust, loosen set screws

IMPORTANT:
Do
not continue
pressing

or
reel travel
is
complete. If switch is

long
period
of
time,
damage

to
overheating electrical solenoids and/or over-
heating hydraulic

CUT HEtGHT INDICATOR (G) . The gauge
on
the lift linkage can
be
used to identify desired cut
heights.
With the center link (between tractor and header)
in
a mid-range position, the numbers
on
the
gauge indicate approximate cut (stubble) height
in
inches. Adjusting center link length will affect
the starting point; ego gauge reading 4 may
indicate a
3" (longer center link)
or
5"
(shorter
center link) cut height. However, the difference
between gauge readings
of
4 and
8,
8 and 12,
etc.
will always be about 4 inches, regardless
of
center link length.
Header
Angle:
Cut
height indicator (G) can also
be used to identify header angle when cutting
with header on the ground. The gauge indicator
will decline until header contacts ground, then as
header height switch is held
in
down position, the
indicator reading
will increase as header angle
steepens.
The
gauge numbers will not
correspond to actual header angle, but can be
used to identify a desired setting.
See "Header
Angle" in Operation section for adjustment
procedure.
