Tilt Arm Pin Location
Pins are located at the rear of the headeron
each of the vertical support beams. There
are 16 total pins on a 40’ DynaFlexheader.
Relocate the pins from the front hole tothe
rear location to allow the tilt arms tofloat.

Electrical Harness Connection
Flex Mode Operation
–To utilize the cutterbar
potentiometers, connectthe
header main harness (1) to
the header control module
(2).
Rigid Mode Operation
–To utilize the drag rod
potentiometers, connectthe
header main harness (1) to
the jumper harness(3).

Electrical Harness Connection
Flex Mode Operation
–The potentiometer is
connected to the tilt armvia
a small armature rod. Ifthe
cutterbar encounters a
change in contour, the tilt
arm will move accordingly
and change the voltage
reading within the
potentiometer. The header
height control system’s
function is to maintain a
target voltage reading and
will raise or lower the
header to achieve the
targetsetting.

Electrical Harness Connection
Rigid Mode Operation
–The potentiometer is attached
to a drag rod that hangs down
on each end of the header. If
the drag rod encounters a
change in contour, the voltage
reading will change in the
potentiometer and the header
height control system will react
to maintain the target setheight
selected by the operator. Drag
rods are most commonly used
in small grains in Auto Tilt
mode which automatically tilts
the platform from side to side
and the operator manually
controls the header raise and
lower.

Reel Height Adjustment
To correctly set the reel height, reduce
the cutterbar pressure to 400 –500 PSI
and pitch the header all the way forward
to -6. Place a 4x4 block under the
cutterbar and lower the header firmly to
the ground.
Lower the reel to the minimum height
setting and adjust the reel fore/aft until
the reel is centered over the cutterbar.
Manually lower the reel by adjusting the
lift cylinder adjustment nut until a
minimum gap of 1.5” is achieved
between the highest point on the
cutterbar and the reel finger tine.

Reel Tine Pitch Adjustment
To manually adjust the pitch of the reel tines, loosen the 3 bolts on the adjustment lever located
on the right hand reel arm assembly and slide the handle to the desired setting. The adjustment
lever will be in the middle of the adjustment range as a factory configuration. The reel tubes on
the DynaFlex are mountedon a cam slide track which allows the individual reel tube tines to “flip
over” independent of each other. Different harvest conditions can warrant a change in tine pitch,
for example harvesting down lodged crop vs harvesting tall, standing crop. As an initial
setting, it is recommended to set the tine pitch to be vertically straight up and down on
the back side of the reel rotation.

Reel Tine Pitch Adjustment


Adjusting the lever to the full forward position will result in a less aggressive tine pitch.
In short crop conditions or down lodged crop, this setting is not recommended as it will provide
a poor transfer of material from the cutterbar to the draper belt resulting in cut crop material
falling off the front of the cutterbar or build-up of material on the cutterbar.
This setting would feed a tall, standing crop and have little chance for wrapping on the back
rotation of the reel. If harvesting a very tangled, green stem crop that tends to wrap, pitching
the tines to be less aggressive will provide positive results.


Adjusting the lever to the full rearward position will result in the most aggressive tine pitch.
It is only recommended to pitch the tines this aggressive when aharvesting avery short crop or
down lodged crop.This setting will grab the material and flip it up onto the draper belt from the
cutterbar providing the best feeding in these adverse conditions.
This setting would not be recommended in atall, standing crop or tangled crop as the material
would not release from the reel on the back rotation and start to wrap around the reel assembly.

Flighting Filler
It is recommended to install the
notched flighting filler kit
(71430670) prior to harvesting
crops that are green stemmed,
tangled, or contaminated with
any sort of bind weed. Failure to
install the kit will result in material
wrapping around the center feed
auger and eventually causing the
slip clutch on the drive to ratchet
and shut down the harvest
operation. The operator will be
required to manually remove the
tangled crop mat onceplugged.

End Dividers/Reel Dividers
Standard Long Divider Rod (700962401)
–Provides exceptional crop division in
most conditions and is a simple bolt
on design that can be retrofitted to
previous models.
Reel Arm Divider Kit (700962402)
–It is recommended to install the reel
arm divider kit if the standard long
divider rod fails to separate the crop
mat and material is wrapping on the
end of the reel. This kit will utilize a
shorter bottom divider rod and can be
retrofitted to previous models.

Side Draper Belt Tension
Tension the draper belts to the middle of the
adjustment gauge as a starting point on each end
of the header by using the provided wrench. The
wrench is stowed in the area denoted by the
arrow. It is recommended to run the least amount
of tension possible on the belts to limit belt
streach and improve longevity.
Note: When not in use release tension
13

Center Draper Belt Tension
Use a ¾” (19 mm) wrench to tension the center draper belt
and be sure to tension the system evenly on both sides by
referencing the links on the chain tensioning mechanism. It
is recommended to run the least amount of tension
possible and if the belt does slip when harvesting crop,
stop the machine and increase the tension in small
increments until all slipping is eliminated.
Note: When not in use release tension

Dual Sickle Drive Timing
The DynaFlex consists of a dual sickle drive on all 30 ft., 35 ft., and 40 ft. models which requires the
sickles to be timed. The drive shaft alignment indicator is located at the rear of the header on both
sides consisting of a dial with multiple letters. It is imperative to align these letters so there is an
exact match on the left and right hand sides. Failure to align the sickle will result in a ragged cut in
the center of the header where the two sickles mesh. If the sickle alignment is off 180°and they are
moving in sync, the drives will become unbalanced and shake the machine.

Sickle Timing Procedure
1. If the sickle drive requires timing, position the left and right sickle to the full outposition.
2. Remove the driveline from one of the drive shafts of theheader.
3. Remove the setscrew #1 that holds the letter wheel (#2) to the drive shaft.
4. Remove the letter wheel and rotate so the same letter appears in both of the windows in
the left and right driveline bells.
5. Re-install the letter wheel and secure with set screw.

Cutterbar Pressure Initial Setting
Flex Mode Operation -Max
Flexibility
–400 –500PSI
–Reduce pressure to minimum
setting when operating in
aggressive terrain with ditches,
terraces, or uneven ground.
Flex Mode Operation - Min
Flexibility
–800 –900PSI
–Increase pressure when harvesting
on flat terrain with no change in
contour to decrease weight of
cutterbar on the ground and
improve end skid wear.

Cutterbar Pressure Initial Setting
Rigid Mode Operation –Short
Crop
–1900 -2000PSI
–When harvesting short small grain crops,
set the initial pressure to approximately
1900 PSI. This will allow the cutterbar to
give slightly if it encounters any change
in ground contour or field debris. Ensure
the cutterbar maintains an even distance
from the guards to the reel tines across
the entire length of the header to provide
optimum feeding.
Rigid Mode Operation –Tall
Crop
–2400 –2500PSI
–Increase cutterbar pressure tomaximum
PSI when harvesting tall small grain
crops when there is no risk of engaging
with the ground or contacting any
obstructions.
