handle (A) into position (B) (UNLOCK). In this position, the
header is unlocked, and can float with respect to the float
module.

The header is designed to operate with the cutterbar on the ground. The three sections move independently to
follow the ground contours. In this mode, each wing is unlocked and is free to move up and down.
The header can also be operated as a rigid header with the cutterbar straight. A typical application is in cereals
when cutting above the ground. In this mode, the wing is locked.
