FIELD OPERATION
4-6
Autofloat operation [if autofloat sensors are in-
stalled] -- Figures 6 and 7
The header will follow the field contours at a
preselected stubble height. Use this mode when a
short stubble is required.
An automatic compensation is built in when touch-
ing the ground. Once the header clears the ground, it
automatically returns to the preset stubble height.
Turn selector switch 17 fully clockwise. Give a pulse
on the automatic header height control switch 20 and
the header will automatically lower to the preselected
stubble height when the threshing mechanism is en-
gaged.
The green autodiagnostic indicator 22 illuminates to
show that the header is operating at the preselected
stubble height.
The preselected stubble height can be adjusted dur-
ing harvesting by means of the header stubble height
control knob 18.
T urn knob 18 clockwise (+) to increase the
preselected stubble height.
T urn knob 18 counterclockwise (--) to reduce the
preselected stubble height.
Operating the header height control rocker switch 13
vertically or sideways (lateral float) disengages the
autofloat system completely into the transport mode.
The green autodiagnostic indicator 22 extinguishes.
To return to the preselected stubble height and incli-
nation, give a pulse on the automatic header height
control switch 20.
