Adjusng the Condioner Rolls – Standard Headers
Roll Gap Roll Tension
Increase condioning:
1. Loosen jam nut (A) on both sides of the condioner.
2. Turn lower nut (B) counterclockwise to decrease roll gap (C).
3. Tighten jam nut (A) on both sides of the condioner.
Decrease condioning:
1. Loosen jam nut (A) on both sides of the condioner.
2. Turn lower nut (B) clockwise to increase roll gap (C).
3. Tighten jam nut (A) on both sides of the condioner.
IMPORTANT: Ensure nuts are adjusted equally on both sides of the disc
header to achieve consistent gap across the rolls.
Decrease tension (light crops):
1. Loosen jam nut (A) on both sides of the condioner.
2. Turn bolt (B) counterclockwise to increase exposed thread (C)
equally on both sides of the condioner.
3. Tighten jam nut (A) on both sides of the condioner.
Increase tension (heavy or tough crops):
1. Loosen jam nut (A) on both sides of the condioner.
2. Turn bolt (B) clockwise to decrease exposed thread (C) equally on
both sides of the condioner.
3. Tighten jam nut (A) on both sides of the condioner.
Seng the Float – Standard and Grass Seed
For instrucons on seng and adjusng the header oat, refer to your windrower operator’s manual.
The header oat feature allows the header to closely follow ground contours and respond quickly to sudden changes or obstacles. The oat seng is
ideal when the cuerbar is on the ground with minimal bouncing, scooping, or pushing soil.
IMPORTANT:
 Set header oat as light as possible—without excessive bouncing—to avoid frequent breakage of knife components, scooping soil, or soil
build-up at the cuerbar in wet condions.
 Avoid excessive bouncing (resulng in a ragged cut) by operang at a slower ground speed when the oat seng is light.
 Install applicable header opons (crop dividers, etc.) before seng header oat.
 Adjust the oat when adding or removing oponal aachments that aect the weight of the header.
 Changing header angle aects the oat. Check the oat aer making appropriate changes to header angle for crop type and condions,
eld condions, and speed sengs.
Adjusng Cung Height – Standard and Grass Seed
Header Angle Skid Shoes
Shallow Angle Steep Angle Intermediate Posion Lower Posion
Use a shallow angle when the
ground is rocky, ridged, loose, or
uneven.
Use a steep angle when the ground
is rm, level, or smooth.
Use the upper posion when the
ground is smooth, or to produce a
short stubble.
Use the lower posion when the
ground is uneven, or to produce a
high stubble.
Grass Seed (GSS) Operaon
Hazard/Brake Lights – Field Mode Transport Mode
Before operang in the eld:
Rotate hazard/brake lights (A) toward the front of the header.
Before transporng the header:
Rotate hazard/brake lights (A) outward.
An-Shaer Shield Drum Speed and Posion
To operate in the eld:
 FULLY extend (A) or retract (B) an-shaer shield, depending
on the type of crop.
 Fully extend (A) the shield by pressing F5 (B) on the operator
console unl the bae posion on the Harvest Performance
Tracker (HPT) is “10”.
 Fully retract (C) the shield by pressing F6 (D) on the operator
console unl the bae posion on the HPT is “0”.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT operate the header in the eld with the
bae posion set to 1–9 for any purpose.
To prepare for transport:
 Fully retract (C) the shield by pressing F6 (D) on the operator
console unl the bae posion on the HPT is “0”.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT transport the header with the bae
posion set to 1–10 for any purpose.
Adjust the drum speed and height as desired using the ground speed
lever (GSL) or the operator’s console:
 To widen the windrow, press REEL UP (A) switch on the GSL, or
buon (A) on the operator’s console.
 To increase the drum speed, press switch (C) on the GSL, or
buon (C) on the operator’s console.
 To decrease the drum speed, press switch (D) on the GSL, or
buon (D) on the operator’s console.
 Drum speed range is 235–705 rpm. Monitor the drum speed
using Run Screen 2 on the Harvest Performance Tracker (HPT).
