CONTOURMASTER ™ system maintains the horizontal header position relative to the ground. It uses sensors to determine height at each end of the header. The system tilts the header +/- 4 degrees to equalize the distances to the ground at each end of the header. The system uses a special feeder house to allow the header to tilt left and right.

If the combine is equipped with Header Height Sensing (optional), they work together to maintain the closest position of the cutter bar to the ground.

The CONTOURMASTER ™ system must be calibrated for each header that is used with the combine (See Calibration Procedures in this manual).

The CONTOURMASTER ™ system can be activated with any of the three activation buttons located on the multi-function handle.

When Header Height Resume is enabled, all three activation buttons will activate Header Height Resume and CONTOURMASTER ™ system.

If Header Height Sensing, Header Height Resume and CONTOURMASTER ™ systems are enabled activation

Activation buttons 2 and 3 will activate Header Height Sensing and CONTOURMASTER ™ system.

If Header Height Sensing and Header Height Resume is disabled, CONTOURMASTER ™ system will still operate as long as it is enabled.

If CONTOURMASTER ™ system is disabled, Header Height Sensing and Header Height Resume will still operate.

The CONTOURMASTER ™ mode will be active only when:

1. A properly equipped header is connected to the combine.
2. The engine is running.
3. The road transport disconnect switch is in the field position:
4. CONTOURMASTER ™ mode is enabled.
5. The header engage switch is engaged.
