Height Sensing—On Ground

On ground Height Sensing allows you to adjust cutterbar ground pressure and return to that setting automatically.

Modify When:

Calibration is needed when changing the header regardless of size and type unless previously calibrated.

• Cutterbar is not following contour of the ground.
• Increase HydraFlex™ pressure when cutterbar appears to be pushing.
• Decrease HydraFlex™ pressure when cutterbar rides over the top or leaves uncut crop.
• Changing header type.

System Is Enabled When:

• Properly equipped header is connected to machine.
• Engine is running.
• Road transport disconnect switch is in field position.
• Height Sensing system is ON.
• Header is engaged.
