6.4.5 Cutting

Height

The header is raised or lowered with the
HEADER UP or HEADER DOWN switches on
the GSL. See illustration. The CDM indicates
the header height by a reading on the DISPLAY
lower line between

00.0 and 10.0, with 00.0

being on the ground. Use DISPLAY
SELECTOR switch to display the current setting.

6.4.5.1 Return To Cut (Optional)

The monitoring system assists the operator in
maintaining the desired cutting height with the
RETURN TO CUT feature that can be turned off
or on with a switch on the CDM.

The RETURN TO CUT feature enables the
operator to have the header return to a pre-
selected cutting height and angle. If desired, the
CDM can be programmed so that only the
cutting height feature is active. The unit is pre-
programmed to activate both cutting height and
header angle.

a. Program the RETURN TO CUT feature as

follows:

IMPORTANT

The windrower must be running with the
header engaged.

1. RETURN TO CUT switch must be off

(indicator light is off).

2. Adjust the header to the desired height with

the HEADER UP or HEADER DOWN
switches on the GSL. CDM displays
between

00.0 and 10.0.

3. Adjust the header angle with the HEADER

TILT UP or HEADER TILT DOWN switches
on the GSL. CDM displays between

.0 and

10.0. This step is not required if height only
has been pre-selected.

4. Press the RETURN TO CUT switch on the

CDM. The indicator light will illuminate and
the settings are now programmed into the
WCM.

b. Use the RETURN TO CUT feature as follows:

IMPORTANT

Ensure the header is engaged and the
RETURN TO CUT switch is illuminated.

NOTE

The header can be raised or lowered at
any time by depressing and holding the
HEADER UP or HEADER DOWN
switches on the GSL.

1. If header is above the pre-set height,

momentarily press HEADER DOWN
switch and header will return to pre-set
height.
