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

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