6. 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.
IMPORTANT:
Continuous operation with excessive spring
compression (i.e., load indicator reading greater than 4
or a compressed length less than 295 mm
[11-5/8 in.]) (A) can result in damage to the suspension
system.
7. Use the combine’s Auto Header Height Control (AHHC)
to automatically maintain cutting height. Refer to 3.8
Auto Header Height Control (AHHC), page 124 and
your combine operator’s manual for details.
NOTE:
The height sensor on the FM100 Float Module must be
connected to the combine height control system in
the cab.
