CONTOUR MASTER 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 row unit to the ground.

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

When CONTOUR MASTER system is enabled, the system can be activated with any of the three activation buttons located on the multi-function handle.

If Header Height Sensing and Header Height Resume are enabled, activation button number 1 will activate Header Height Resume and CONTOUR MASTER system.

Activation buttons 2 and 3 will activate Header Height Sensing and CONTOUR MASTER system.

NOTE: CONTOUR MASTER system on corn heads will not operate if the sensors are off the ground.

If the Header Height Resume and Header Height Sensing systems are disabled, CONTOUR MASTER system will still operate.

If the CONTOUR MASTER system is disabled, Header Height Resume and Header Height Sensing will still operate.

Operation:

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. CONTOUR MASTER mode is enabled.
5. The header engage switch is engaged.

The CONTOUR MASTER tilt system is enabled by pressing switch (A) on the corner post display unit. The CONTOUR MASTER (B) will appear on the display.

Activate the system by pressing any of the activation buttons 1, 2 or 3 on the multi-function handle. Arrows (C) on each side of the symbol indicate that the system is active.

NOTE: Pressing the manual tilt switch (D) overrides CONTOUR MASTER system, when the switch is released the system returns to the automatic mode.

Press the right side of the switch (D) to tilt header to the right. Press the left side of the switch to tilt header to the left.

If activated alone or with Header Height Resume, manually raising the header height with switch (D) on the multi-function handle for 1.5 seconds will deactivate the CONTOUR MASTER system.

If activated with Header Height Sensing, CONTOUR MASTER system will deactivate at the same time as the Header Height Sensing system.

Pressing any of the activation buttons will re-activate the system.

The CONTOUR MASTER system can be disabled by pressing switch (A).
