A - Cut Height

B - Tilt Control Cylinder

C - Indicator

IMPORTANT: A higher height of cut will minimize machine damage in rocky conditions.

  1. The cut height (A) is determined by the angle of cutterbar and position of gauge shoes, if installed. Select cut height from chart below and adjust gauge shoes, as necessary. (See ADJUSTING GAUGE SHOES in this section.)

  2. NOTE: The information in chart is based with machine on level ground.

    Extend or retract hydraulic tilt control cylinder (B), using tractor hydraulics, to adjust cut height (A).

    • For maximum cut height in each range, RETRACT tilt control cylinder. Indicator (C) will be positioned between two bottom lines.
    • For minimum cut height in each range, EXTEND tilt control cylinder. Indicator (C) will be positioned between two top lines. (shown)

  3. Adjust platform float, as necessary. (See procedure in this section.)

1 If side gauge shoes are positioned in holes 4 or 5, upfloat can be increased by positioning carrier frame lift cylinders. (See ADJUSTING CARRIER FRAME HEIGHT in this section.)
2 If gauge shoes are positioned in holes 4 or 5, upfloat can be increased by positioning carrier frame lift cylinders. (See ADJUSTING CARRIER FRAME HEIGHT in this section.)
