CUTTING HEIGHT (continued)
Skid Shoes (Attachment)
Skid shoes are available as an attachment. The
primary benefits of skid shoes are:
1. Help prevent damage to cutting components.
2. Reduce scooping of dirt onto cutterbar.
3. Provide a method of setting a minimum cutting
height.
To adjust skid shoes:
1. Raise header and engage lift cylinder stops.
DANGER: To avoid bodily injury or
death from fall of raised header,
always engage cylinder stops before
going under header.
2. Remove one of the guard bolts securing
support (S).
3. Remove rods from supports and position shoe
at desired setting. Adjust both shoes to the
same position to provide an even cutting
height.
NOTE: When using the "flattest" setting,
(Position 1), ensure angle (A) is removed to
prevent draper damage.
4. Replace rods in supports and replace guard
bolt.
NOTE: The skid shoe kit includes two shoes.
Additional skid shoes may be installed if required.
