OPERATION
Float Options
For draper headers without the deck shift option, auger headers, and rotary headers, the float can be
preprogrammed for three types of windrowing conditions.
Example:
• Position 1: Border
• Position 2: Normal
• Position 3: Rocky
Set float presets as follows:
1. Engage header.
2. Push FLOAT PRESET SWITCH (A) to Position 1 (B).
Figure 4.71: Float Preset Switch
3. Using HEADER TILT switches (D, F), set center-link to
mid-range position (5.0 on CDM [A]).
4. Using HEADER DOWN switch (E), lower header fully
with lift cylinders fully retracted.
5. Set left (B) and right (C) float fine adjustments on CDM
to approximately 5.0 as follows:
a. Using FLOAT SELECTOR switch (B), push + to
increase float or – to decrease float on left side of
header. CDM display (A) will indicate selected float
for left side, for example (5.0 L FLOAT R XX.X).
b. Repeat for right side float with switch (C).
Display will indicate float for both sides, for
example (5.0 L FLOAT R 5.0).
