Fore/Aft Tilt Frame-Adjusting

CAUTION: If adjusting fore/aft tilt frame with header attached, lower header to ground to relieve tension from turnbuckles. Shut off engine, set parking brake and remove key.

Loosen tilt frame nuts (A) on both sides of the feeder house.

Loosen both turnbuckle stop nuts (B) on both sides of the feeder house.

Adjust turnbuckles (C) as needed for correct header angle.

Tighten turnbuckle stop nuts.

Tighten tilt frame nuts to specification.

Fore/Aft tilt adjustment is set to an approximate position at the factory, but if tires or axle positions are changed, it may be necessary to readjust this setting. An approximate setting can be obtained without a header attached by the following method:

• With the combine on a smooth level surface, lower or raise header so that feeder house pivot bolt (A) to ground distance is set to specification.

Specification

• Using a large level as a reference, adjust the fore/aft tilt frame until the front face is vertical.

If further adjustment is necessary, refer to header operator's manual for additional adjustments.
