Header Calibration

The header calibration must be performed when a header is first used with a combine or when any of the sensors are replaced. The Height Resume sensor on the feeder house must be operating.

Prepare the header for calibration:

  • Attach header to combine and connect header harness to combine harness.
  • Start combine and drive onto a level firm surface.
