3.7.3 Checking and Adjusting Header Wing Balance

IMPORTANT:
Before proceeding, the header float must be set properly. Refer to
The header wing balance allows the wings to react to
changing ground conditions. If set too light, the wings
will bounce or not follow ground contours, leaving uncut
crop. If set too heavy, the end of the header will dig into
the ground. After the header float has been set, the wings
must be balanced for the header to follow the ground
contours properly.
