HEADER ATTACHING & DETACHING
DETACHING HEADER FROM COMBINE AND ADAPTER
Using this procedure, adapter will remain attached
to the combine. This would be appropriate when
header is to be used as a windrower. Instructions
for detaching both header and adapter from
combine are given on page 12.
1. Choose a level area. Lower the reel and raise
the header. Stop engine and remove key.
DANGER: To avoid bodily injury
from fall of raised header, engage
header lift cylinder stops when
working on or around raised
header. See your Combine
Operator’s Manual for details.
DANGER: Wait for all movement to
stop. A rotating driveline can cause
entanglement resulting in serious
personal injury or death.
2. Disconnect driveline from combine feeder
house shaft and store at bracket (A) on header
left leg.
3. Disconnect hydraulic lines:
- Reel lift between header and combine.
- Reel drive pressure and reel return between
header and combine.
- Draper return (blue) and draper drive pressure
(orange) between adapter and header.
- Reel fore-aft hoses between header and
combine (if equipped).
IMPORTANT: Couple or cap all lines to prevent
hydraulic system contamination except as noted
in Warning below. Be sure header stored hoses
and combine stored hoses are not entangled.
WARNING: For headers with
hydraulic reel fore-aft, never
connect the fore-aft couplers to
each other. This would complete
the circuit and allow the reel to creep forward
in transport, resulting in instability.
4. Disconnect wiring harness between header and
combine.
5. Remove lynch pin and clevis pin from storage
position (E) and install in float lockout position
(C). Remove ¾ X 7 ½” bolt and lock nut from
adapter lock position (B) and place in storage
position (E). Repeat at other leg.
6. Set 8" (200 mm) blocks under the adapter
feeder pan.
7. Disengage header lift cylinder stops and lower
header so feeder pan rests on blocks.
8. Loosen and rotate cutterbar anchors (D) away
from cutterbar.
9. Raise header and engage header lift cylinder
stops.
