Re: 2166 Calibrate Header controller help
Sadly, I went through exactly that last fall. In our case, the darn machine wouldn't let the header down, but it would go up just fine. I don't remember what exactly we did, but I know we went through that recalibration routine several times.
The dial, right arrow, dial other way, right arrow sequence set the highest and lowest possible spots on the potentiometers (height sensor) on the feederhouse. This is why you want to do this over a ditch so the header can actually go below the wheels, as it would if you had to cross a terrace or something like that.
I thought the concave zeroing setting was a different part of the menu. Maybe it is the same menu, you just cancel through the header height setting part.
If you don't have the header on the machine, that might be causing your error, as there isn't enough weight to force the feederhouse down at a rate fast enough for the calibration program.
