Figure 3.23: Spring Compression
IMPORTANT:
Continuous operation with excessive spring compression
(that is, the load indicator reading greater than 4 or
compressed length [A] less than 295 mm [11 5/8 in.]) can
result in damage to the suspension system.
15. Adjust the header angle to the desired working angle with
the machine’s header angle controls. If header angle is not
critical, set it to mid-position.
16. Use the windrower cab display module (CDM) controls to
automatically maintain cutting height. Refer to your
windrower operator’s manual for details.
Adjusting Stabilizer Wheels
A properly adjusted header will achieve a balance between the amount of header weight carried by the float and the
amount carried by the stabilizer wheels.
IMPORTANT:
Do NOT use the stabilizer wheel system for header height control on headers from model year 2006 or earlier. Doing so
would damage the wheel suspension system.
DANGER
To prevent bodily injury or death from the unexpected start-up of the machine, always stop the engine and remove the
key from the ignition before leaving the operator’s seat for any reason.
CAUTION
The handle may be under tension—especially when the wheels are on the ground. Raise the header until the wheels
are off the ground before making adjustments.
1. Raise the header until the stabilizer wheels are off the ground.
2. Shut down the engine, and remove the key from the ignition.
3. Check that the float is working properly. Refer to for instructions.

4. Support the wheel weight by lifting slightly with one hand
on handle (B), and pull up on handle (A) to release the lock.
5. Lift the wheel using handle (B), and engage the support
channel into center slot (C) in the upper support.
6. Push handle (A) down to lock.
