AirFLEX 200 Series & SDX Header - Quick Start Guide
Header Setup Overview
1. Ensure each sensor ‘ag’ contacts its roller at the ‘heel’
of each strut at the rear of the header. The Flag should
contact the center of the roller. The two outermost sensor
tabs should be rmly in contact with their rollers while the
remaining tabs should only lightly touch their rollers. This
ensures the system reacts to input from the outer ends of
the header rst.

2. Verify the header height sensor voltages on the
AutomaxLite display:
RIGID mode header height control only pertains to the 200
series header. RIGID header height control sensors are not
installed on the SDX and therefore informaon about RIGID
sensors in this quick start guide can be ignored for the SDX
plaorm.
• In FLEX Mode: With the header air system pressurized
to approximately 30 psi, the sensor voltages should
range between 1.5 and 3.5 volts through the cuer
bar’s full range of moon.
• RIGID Center Subframe Sensing Mode (default from
factory): With the header air system pressurized to
approximately 90 psi, the sensor voltages should
range between 1.5 and 3.4 volts through the subframe
sensor’s full range of moon.
• RIGID Divider Mode (must be acvated by swapping
sensor wires and unlocking dividers as described
in operator manual): With the header air system
pressurized to approximately 100 psi, the sensor
voltages should range between 1.5 and 3.5 volts
through the divider’s full range of moon.
Note: Refer to operator manual for detailed instrucons.
IMPORTANT: Don’t make assumpons, don’t skip steps, x all
errors that occur before connuing.
Set combine feeder house angle.
The Combine Feeder House must be lted at a specic angle
for opmal header operaon. To set proper operaon angle.
1. Park the combine and header on a rm level surface.
2. Set the header to FLEX mode and lower the air pressure
unl 30psi is reached.
3. Fully retract the hydraulic lt cylinder.
4. Lower the table unl the cuer bar is fully pushed up.
5. Slowly raise the header unl 2.00 volts (8 bars) show on the
sensor bar graph on the Automax Lite display
6. Measure down to the ground from the pivot point of the
outer-most paddle. There should be an 6-7” (15.4 - 17.8 cm)
space when at the opmal feeder house angle.
6-7” (15.2-17.8 cm)
• If the paddle ‘heel’ is more than 6-7” (15.2 - 17.8 cm)
above the ground, the feeder house is lted too far
forward and the cuer bar guards will dig into the
ground.
• If the paddle ‘heel’ is less than 6-7” (15.4 - 17.8 cm)
above the ground, the feeder house is not lted
forward enough and the rear of the paddle will drag on
the ground. 6-7” (15.2-17.8 cm)
7. Adjust the feeder house angle as necessary and re-test the
angle as outlined in the previous steps. Tilt can be adjusted
to suit ground condions and habits of the operator.
