CONTOUR MASTER System (Optional)

H52277
H74738

CONTOUR MASTER is an optional system that maintains the header position relative to the ground. Sensors are used to determine the height at each end of the header. CONTOUR MASTER 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 equipped with header height sensing-HYDRAFLEX (optional), the two systems work together to position the cutterbar close to the ground.

CONTOUR MASTER is calibrated from factory. If further calibration is needed, (see Calibration Procedures section).

Activation buttons 1, 2, or 3 are used to select one of three different programmed angle contours.

NOTE: When CONTOUR MASTER is active, the system works independently from header

height resume and header height sensing. For header height resume and header height sensing, (see Calibration Procedures section).

When CONTOUR MASTER is disabled, header height sensing and header height resume will still operate.

  • Properly equipped header is connected to combine
  • Engine is running
