OPERATION
HEADER FLOTATION ADJUSTMENT – 974 FLEX HEADERS
Cutting above the Ground
When cutting above ground, for example in cereal grains, note the following:
1. The header can be operated with the wing float lock pins engaged or disengaged.
• Engaging the wing float lock pins will keep cutterbar straight at all times.
• Operating with wing float lock disengaged will reduce the force on guards in rocky conditions, and
allows the wings to flex when the header contacts the ground.
2. Gauge wheels can be used to stabilize the header.
