Refer to the operator’s manual for a comprehensive maintenance schedule and record. Log hours of operaon, use the maintenance
record, and keep copies of your maintenance records.
Following the maintenance schedule will increase your machine’s life.
a. Park the combine on a level surface, and ensure the combine feeder
house is level. Use the bubble level on the oat module.
b. Adjust the header so the cuerbar is 250 mm (10 in.) (A) o the
ground.
c. Set the header angle hydraulic cylinder to D on indicator (B).
d. Set the reel fore-a to 6 on reel arm fore-a indicator (C).
e. Lower the reel completely, shut down the combine, and remove the
key from the combine ignion.
f. Remove linkage cover (A).
g. Place both le and right wing lock spring handles (B) in the locked
(upper) posion. You should hear the locks engage. If not, move the
wings up and down, so that the locks engage.
h. Place both the le and right header oat locks in unlocked (lowered)
posion (A).
i. Set the stabilizer/transport wheels or contour wheels (if equipped) to
the upper most posion.
Step 1: Preadjustments
NOTE:
Read and understand the header oat secon of your operator’s manual before seng header oat.

Follow these ve steps in order to set the header oat and wing balance:
Interval Item
First 5 Minutes
Check hydraulic oil level in reservoir (check aer rst run-up and aer the hydraulic hoses have lled with oil).
5 Hours Check for loose hardware and ghten to required torque.
10 Hours
Check auger drive chain tension.
Check knife drive box mounng bolts.

Change oat module gearbox oil. Change oat module hydraulic oil lter.
Change knife drive box lubricant. Check gearbox chain tension.
Lubricate reel drive chain.
SETTING HEADER FLOAT AND WING BALANCE
Ensure your machine operates at top eciency by using clean uids and lubricants only.
• Use clean containers to handle all uids and lubricants.
• Store uids and lubricants in an area protected from dust, moisture, and other contaminants.
