SAFETY

•Wearcloseﬁtting clothing and cover long hair. Never wear dangling items such as scarves or bracelets.

• Keep all shields in place. Never alter or remove safety equipment. Make sure driveline guards can rotate independently of the shaft and can telescope freely.

• Use only serviceand repair parts,made, or approvedby the equipment manufacturer. Substituted parts may not meet strength, design, or safety requirements.

• Keep hands, feet, clothing, and hair away from moving parts. Neve r attempt to clear obstructions or objects, from a machine while the engine is running.

•DoNOT modify the machine. Non-authorized modiﬁcations may impair machine function and/or safety. It may also shorten the machine’s life.

Figure 1.5: Safety around Equipment

• Stop the engineand remove the keyfrom ignition before leaving operator ’s seat for any reason. A child or even a pet could engage an idling machine.

• Keep the area used for servicing machinery clean and dry. Wet or oily ﬂoors are slippery. Wet spots can be dangerous when working with electrical equipment. Be sure all electrical outlets and tools are properly grounded.

• Keep work area well lit.

• Keep machinery clean. Straw and chaff, on a hot engine, are a ﬁre hazard. Do NOT allow oil or grease to accumulate on service platforms, ladders, or controls. Clean machines before storage.

• Never use gasoline, naphtha, or anyvolatile material for cleaningpurposes. These materialsmay be toxic and/or ﬂammable.

• When storing machinery, cover sharp or extending components to prevent injury from accidental contact.

1.4 Maintenance Safety

To ensure your safety while maintaining the machine:

• Review the operator’s manual and all safety items before operation and/or maintenance of the machine.

• Place all controls in Neutral, stop the engine, set the park brake, remove the ignition key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before servicing, adjusting, and/or repairing.

• Follow good shop practices: – Keep service area clean and dry. – Be sure electrical outlets and tools are

properly grounded.

– Use adequate light for the job at hand.

• Relieve pressure fromhydraulic circuitsbefore servicing and/or disconnecting the machine.

• Befo re applying pressure to a hydraulic system , make sureall components are tight and that steellines, hoses, and couplings are in good condition.

Figure 1.8: Safety around Equipment

• Keep hands, feet, clothing, and hair away from all moving and/or rotating parts.

• Clear the area of bystand ers especially children w hen carrying out any maintenance and repairs or when making any adjustments.

• Install transport lock or place safety stands under the frame before working under the header.

• If more than one person is servicing the machine at the same time, be aware that rotating a driveline or other mechanically driven component by hand (for example, accessing a lube ﬁtting) will cause drive components in other areas (belts, pulleys, and knife) to move. Stay clear of driven components at all times.

4.7.1 Cutting Height

The header is designed to allow an Operator to cut the crop above the ground for a desired stubble height, or to cut the crop at ground level with the header on the ground. Cutting height will vary, depending on type of crop, crop condition, etc.

Cutting Off The Ground

e stab ilizing wheel system is designed to minimize bouncing at the header ends and may be used to ﬂoat the

aders to achieve an even cutting height when cutting above ground level in cereal grains. The system can

ovide very even stubble height and greatly reduces operator fatigue.

utting height is controlled with a combination of the combine header height control and a stabilizer wheel system,

r a stabilizer/slow speed transport wheel system.

f stabilizer wheels are installed, refer to Adjusting Stabilizer Wheels, page 53 to change the wheel position.

OPERATION

Cutting On the Ground

Cutting on the ground is performed with the header fully lowered so that the cutterbar is on the ground. The orientation of the sickle and sickle guards relative to the ground (or header angle) is controlled with the skid shoes, and center-link. and NOT with the header lift cylinders. These two features allow the operator to adjust to ﬁeld conditions to maximize the amount of material cut and to reduce damage to the sickle from stones and debris.

The header is equipped with a type of suspension system that ﬂoats the header over the surface to compensate for ridges, trenches, or other variations in ground contour instead of pushing the cutterbar into the ground or leaving uncut crop.

Refer to the following sections for further information about each feature:

The sensitivityadjustment dial (A) is used to controlthe distance the cutterbar travels (moves up or down) in relation tothe headerframe (ﬂexhead) orheader inrelation toground (rigidor cornhead) beforethe controlmodule activates the hydraulic valve to raise or lower the header frame.

When the sensitivity adjustment dial (A) is turned completely clockwise, the control module is set to the “MOST” sensitive position. In this position, the cutterbar typically only moves up and down a distance of approximately 3/4 in. (19 mm) before the control module activates the hydraulic control valve to raise or lower the header frame.

When the sensitivityadjustment dial isturned completely counterclockwise,the control module is set to the “LEAST” sensitive position. In this pos ition, the ﬂex head cutterbar can move up and down approximately 2 in. (51 mm) before the control module activates the hydraulic control valve to raise or lower the header frame. The “HEADER SENSE LINE” input changesthe rangeof the sensitivitysensor as well. Connected to a draper,the counterclockwise position (least sensitive) allows for approximately 4 in. of vertical travel before correction is initiated.
