OPERATION
22. Set header angle as shallow as possible with center-link and skid shoes while maintaining cutting height. For instructions, refer to Controlling Header Angle,
page 57.
23. Refer to 3.7.9 Knife Speed, page 59.
24. Refer to Reel Cam Settings, page 68.
25. Percentage above ground speed. Refer to 3.7.6 Reel Speed, page 58.
26. Refer to 3.7.11 Reel Fore-Aft Position, page 61.
27. Skid shoe position is used in combination with header angle to determine the cutting height when cutting on or very close to the ground. Refer to 3.7.1
Cutting Height, page 52.
28. Stabilizer wheels are used to limit the side-to-side movement when cutting off the ground in rolling terrain, and to minimize bouncing.
29. Force required to lift header at ends. Refer to your windrower operator’s manual for adjustment procedures.
