FIELD OPERATION
4-4
Compensation operation -- Figures 4 and 5
Use this mode when harvesting peas and/or laid
crops. In this operation mode the header slides over
the ground with a preselected pressure.
In this mode it is also possible to obtain an automatic
lateral flotatio n if autofloat sensors are installed.
The sensors should be connected to the combine and
the outer header skids should be in pivoting position
(i.e. hanging loose).
Turn selector switch 17 to the P-symbol.
Give a pulse on the automatic header height control
switch 20 and the header will automatically lower to
the preselected pressure when the threshing
mechanism is engaged.
After pressing the automatic header height control
switch 20, the green autodiagnostic indicator 22 will
start blinking and remain so to show the
compensation operation is engaged.
The preselected pressure can be adjusted during har-
vesting by means of the header compensation control
knob 19.
T urn counterclockwise (+) to increase the pressure of
the header onto the soil.
T urn clockwise (--) to reduce the pressure of the head-
er onto the soil.
Operating the header height control rocker switch 13
[vertically] disengages the compensation system into
the transport mode [priority]. The green autodiagnos-
tic indicator 22 will extinguish.
A pulse on the automatic header height control switch
20 will bring the header back to the compensation op-
eration.
When setting the compensation, it can maximum be
set at 108% of the header weight, which means that
the header will start to raise.
When setting this height, the header will not always
follow the ground contours when passing an obstacle.
In this case, it has to be set slightly heavier.
