Adjusting Cutting Height
The cutting height (A) is determined by the angle of cutterbar and position of side gauge shoes. Select cutting height from chart below, adjust gauge shoes and turnbuckle length (B) as necessary.
NOTE:
The information in chart is given for machines on level hard ground.

-
To increase cutting height in each range, shorten tilt control turnbuckle.
-
To decrease cutting height in each range, lengthen tilt control turnbuckle.
IMPORTANT:
Operating at flatter angles will reduce cutterbar maintenance.
