5. Lower the header to the desired cutting height and
check load indicator (A).
Figure 3.30: Spring Compression
IMPORTANT:
Continuous operation with excessive spring
compression (A) (that is, load indicator reading greater
than 4 or a compressed length less than 295 mm
[11-5/8 in.]) can result in damage to the suspension
system.
6. Adjust the header angle to the desired working angle
with the header angle controls. If header angle is not
critical, set it to mid-position.
Cutting on the Ground
Cutting on the ground is performed with the header fully lowered and the cutterbar on the ground. The orientation of
the knife and knife guards relative to the ground (header angle) is controlled by the skid shoes and the center-link—
it is NOT controlled by the header lift cylinders. The skid shoes and center-link allow you to adjust to field conditions
and maximize the amount of material cut while reducing damage to the knife caused by stones and debris.
