4.6.4 Adjusting Header Angle
Header angle is the angle between the ground and the drapers/cutterbar. It is adjustable to accommodate crop conditions
and soil types.
Refer to the appropriate header operator’s manual for the range of adjustment and recommended settings for your
particular header.
Figure 4.176: HPT Display and GSL
The header angle can be hydraulically adjusted from the cab without shutting down the windrower. A readout on the
Harvest Performance Tracker (HPT) display indicates the header height (A) and header angle (B).
IMPORTANT:
• Changing header angle affects header float because it has the effect of making the header lighter or heavier. Adjust
float as required. Refer to Setting the Float, page 187.
• To prevent excessive guard breakage when conditions are suited to lighter float (e.g., rocky), do NOT use the ground
speed lever (GSL) tilt control (C) and (D) while in motion. Instead, use the header height (E) and (F) control.
Adjust the header angle as follows:
• To decrease (flatten) header angle, operate the HEADER TILT UP switch (C) on the GSL to retract the cylinder.
• To increase (steepen) header angle, operate the HEADER TILT DOWN switch (D) on the GSL to extend the cylinder.
NOTE:
The HEADER TILT switches (C) and (D) can be locked out to prevent unintentional header angle changes when pressing the
header height control switches (E) and (F). Refer to 3.17.6 Activating Control Locks, page 99.
