  • With machine on a smooth level surface, lower or raise feeder house until pivot bolt (A) to ground distance is set to specification.

Specification

Pivot Bolt To Ground -Distance 865 mm (34 in.)
  • Using a level as a reference, adjust fore/aft tilt frame until front face is vertical.

If further adjustment is necessary, refer to header operators manual for additional adjustments.
