Figure 3.26: Load Indicator
12. Lower the header to the desired cutting height using the
combine controls and check the load indicator (A).
Figure 3.27: Spring Compression
IMPORTANT:
Continuous operation with excessive spring
compression (that is, load indicator reading greater
than 4 or a compressed length [A] less than 295 mm
[11-5/8 in.]) can result in damage to the
suspension system.
13. 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.
14. Use the combine’s auto header height control (AHHC)
to automatically maintain cutting height. Refer to 3.8
Auto Header Height Control (AHHC), page 102 and
your combine operator’s manual for details.
NOTE:
The height sensor on the CA25 Combine Adapter must
be connected to the combine header control module in
the cab.
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.
DANGER
To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected start-up of machine, always stop engine and remove key
from ignition before leaving operator’s seat for any reason.
CAUTION
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. Shut down engine and remove the key.
