Figure 3.145: Pick-Up Height
Pick-up height (A) should be set to 25 mm (1 in.) for most
harvest conditions. However:
• If the pick-up leaves material in the swath, then the pick-up
height is too high and should be decreased.
• If the pick-up fingers are wearing quickly or are picking up
dirt and stones, then the pick-up height is too low and should
be increased.
Adjusting Pick-Up Height
If the header is leaving crop unpicked, or if the header is picking up dirt and stones, you may need to adjust the pick-up
height.
DANGER
To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected start-up or fall of a raised machine, always stop engine and remove
key before leaving the operator’s seat, and always engage safety props before going under the machine for any reason.
1. Check that the tire pressure is set to 240–310 kPa (35–45 psi).
