A-Series, R-Series, or D-Series without
hydraulic deck shift
FLOAT PRESET/DECK SHIFT switch allows
for auto-memory of three different trim cylinder
positions. For example:
#1 - Border width LH 5.0, RH 6.5
#2 - Normal width LH 5.0, RH 5.0
#3 - Rocky width LH 6.5, RH 6.5
D-Series with hydraulic deck shift
DECK SHIFT switch activates hydraulic deck
shifting when header is engaged, and allows for
auto-memory of trim cylinder adjustments in
each delivery opening position.
Allows for compensation of weight shifts to the
float springs.
Float Presets
1. Place GSL in N-DETENT.
2. Set throttle to start position—fully back.
3. Sound horn three times.
4. Turn ignition key to RUN position.
Single loud tone sounds, engine warning lights illuminate, and
CDM displays HDR DISENGAGED or HEADER ENGAGED and
IN PARK.
5. Turn ignition key to START position until engine starts, and then
release key. Tone ceases and warning lights go out.
CDM displays the programmed header data for five seconds
(if attached) and then returns to previous display.

Battery Disconnect
A battery main disconnect switch (A) is located on the right cab-
forward side frame rail, just behind the batteries, and can be
easily accessed by moving the maintenance platform.
Ensure the switch is in
the POWER OFF
position when servicing
electrical components,
or to prevent loss of
battery charge when
the windrower will not
be used for periods
longer than one week.
