CAUTION: Alert others around machine to stay clear while calibration is being performed.

A - Pivot Pin

NOTE: With a FlexDraper header equipped the fore/aft range is limited to 6º to -6º.

Fore/Aft tilt frame is used to set the correct relationship between platform skid plates and the ground. It compensates for different tire sizes, rear axle settings, and other variables.

Tilt frame is set to an approximate position at factory, but if tires or axle positions are changed or ground conditions change (soft ground), it may be necessary to readjust zero point.

NOTE: If field conditions are normal, calibration can be done on level concrete.

If field conditions are soft (leaving ruts), calibration MUST be done in a level location in the field.

An approximate setting can be obtained without a header attached. Refer to Calibration Procedures section to calibrate Feeder House Fore/Aft Tilt Range. During calibration, set zero point by measuring the following:

  • Tilt fore/aft frame fully forward. Lower or raise feeder house until pivot pin (A) to ground distance is set to 1016 mm (40 in.).
  • Using a level as a reference, adjust fore/aft tilt frame until front face is vertical. NOTE: This fore/aft frame adjustment changes the pivot pin to ground distance from 1016 mm (40 in.) to the desired specification distance.
