CONTOUR MASTER System (Optional)

H52277
H74738

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 to equalize the distances to the ground at each end of the header. The system uses a special feeder house that allows 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 CONTOUR MASTER system is calibrated from the factory. If further calibration is needed, see Calibration Procedures in this manual.

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

When CONTOUR MASTER system is activated the system works independently from Header Height

Resume and Header Height Sensing. For Header Height Resume and Header Height Sensing, see Calibration Procedures in this manual.

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

1. A properly equipped header is connected to the combine.
