4.1.2 Adjusting Float – M200 and M205 Windrowers
DANGER
To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected startup of the machine, always stop the engine and
remove the key from the ignition before leaving the operator’s seat for any reason.
Set the float fine adjustment to MID-RANGE with the windrower float adjustment system in the cab (refer to your
windrower operator’s manual).
Check the float by grasping the front corner of the header and lifting. The weight should feel like 426–471 N (95–
105 lbf) and should be approximately the same at both ends.
If adjustment is required, follow these steps:
1. Raise the header fully.
2. Stop the engine and remove the key.
