SECTION 7. OPERATION
Form 169441 61 Revision B
7.18 HEADER LEVELLING
The windrower linkages are factory set to provide
the proper level for the header, and should not
normally require adjustment. The float springs
are not used to level the header.
If the header is not level, check the tire pressures
on the windrower ensuring they are properly
inflated. Refer to your Self-Propelled Windrower
Operator’s Manual.
If the header is still not level, then adjustment to
the windrower linkages is required. Refer to the
appropriate section in the Self-Propelled
Windrower Operator’s Manual.
