HYDRAFLEX™ Operation With DIAL-A-MATIC™ Sensor on 9000 and 10 Series Machines

NOTE: Use Position 1 on DIAL-A-MATIC whenever possible since this position gives the maximum use of the float range (closest cut) and best feeding (sheet is flattest and cutterbar is closer to reel in this position).

9000 and 10 series combines and the HYDRAFLEX platform require conversion bundles to allow DIAL-A-MATIC to operate (see your John Deere dealer).

Setup HYDRAFLEX platform for optimum results:

1. Verify proper cutterbar angle (see Wedge Kit in Attaching Platform to Pre 60 Series Combines section).

2. Verify the DIAL-A-MATIC linkage is properly adjusted so that a raised signal can be obtained in Position 1.
3. Adjust combine accumulator 1-2 turns (see Combine Operator's Manual).
4. Set drop rate (see Adjusting Platform Drop Rate in Flex Platform Adjustments section).

Operating the HYDRAFLEX platform:

1. Use Position 1 on DIAL-A-MATIC.

• If ground is soft and cutterbar is pushing material, increase HYDRAFLEX pressure.
• If ground is firm and cutterbar is not pushing material, lower HYDRAFLEX pressure.
