a. Park combine on a level surface, and ensure the combine feeder house
is level. Use bubble level on float module.
b. Adjust header so cuerbar is 250 mm (10 in.) (A) off 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 key
from the combine ignion.
f. Remove linkage cover (A).
g. Place both le and right wing lock spring handle (B) in the locked
(upper) posion. You should hear the lock engaged. If not, move the
wings up and down, so that the lock engages.
h. Place both le and right header float locks in unlocked (lowered)

• Use clean containers to handle all fluids and lubricants.
• Store fluids and lubricants in an area protected from dust, moisture, and other contaminants.
Break-In InspecƟons
To help avoid major component service or replacement, perform break-in inspecons on your machine for the first 50 hours of
operaon. Refer to your operator’s manual for complete break-in inspecon and adjustment procedures.

Follow these five steps in order to set the header float and wing balance:
InspecƟon Instance Item
First 5 Minutes
Check hydraulic oil level in reservoir (check aer first run-up and aer the hydraulic hoses have filled 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.
50 Hours
Change float module gearbox oil.
Change float module hydraulic oil filter.
Change knife drive box lubricant.
Check gearbox chain tension.
Ongoing Maintenance Intervals
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.
