Operator’s Manual and Reference Guide
Adjusting Table Float
Use the lightest oat setting, that will keep the table from bouncing, while allowing it to follow
uneven ground without gouging or scraping.
If the platform has been raised for any length of time, it may lower slowly or may
not lower all the way to the ground. This is due to the temperature difference in the
accumulator. Once the platform has been lowered and temperatures equalize, the
oat will function normally.
If the windrower does not maintain oat pressure, check the oat release valve on
the side of the high pressure valve, it must be closed. Refer to owner-operators
manual.
1. Park swather on level ground, lower platform and set engine speed at operating rpm.
Float pressure is displayed in increments of 10 psi.
2. For 4895 and 4995 tables (Illustration to the right):
a) Press platform oat function (B) on the digital tachometer.
b) For 4895 and 4995 tables, press and release ‘+’ on the oat witch
until platform starts to move upward.
c) Back off the psi reading, on the digital display (A), 100 psi by
pressing and releasing ‘-’ on the oat switch.
3. For A400 and R450 tables:
a) Press the platform oat function on the F-N-R Lever. You can nd
details on the A400 and R450 F-N-R lever in “In Cab Controls -
Illustration B - Page .” on page 55.
b) Slowly turn the rotary adjuster on the cab console clockwise until
the platform starts to move upward.
c) Back off the psi reading by slowly turning the rotary adjuster
counterclockwise.
4. Raise and lower the swather table several times.
5. With the swather table on the ground, stop the engine.
6. Check the platform oat by lifting at each end of the table. Normally it should require less than
150 lbs. (68kg) to lift the end of the table.
7. Adjust oat pressure as needed and repeat steps 5 through 7 until desired oat pressure is
attained.
Once the platform has been set, the system will retain the setting after the swather
has been stopped.
Refer to your owner’s manual for more information on the operation of the JD Self
Propelled Windrower.
