HEADER ATTACHING & DETACHING
DETACHING HEADER AND ADAPTER FROM COMBINE
Using this procedure, adapter will remain attached to
the header. This would be appropriate when detaching
header for transport. Instructions for detaching header
only from adapter and combine are given on page 10.
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.
2. Remove lynch pin and clevis pin from storage
position (A) and install in float lockout position (B).
Repeat at other leg. Note that bolt in adapter lock
position (C) remains in place.
3. Disconnect hydraulic lines between header and
combine:
- Reel drive pressure line.
- Reel drive return line.
- Reel lift line.
- Reel fore-aft lines (if equipped).
NOTE: For units with hydraulic center link, before
disconnecting cylinder hoses, turn off oil flow at shut-
off valve. This allows easier reattachment of couplers
at combine. Remember to restore oil flow at shut-off
valve before next use.
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.
DANGER: Wait for all movement to stop
before approaching driveline. A rotating
driveline can cause entanglement
resulting in serious personal injury or
death.
5. Disconnect driveline from combine feeder house
output shaft and store at header left leg.
6. Disconnect pump from combine feeder house
output shaft and store on adapter. See Mounting
Instruction for your make of combine at back of
book.
7. Disengage the header lock system. See Mounting
Instruction for your make of combine at back of
book.
8. Disengage header lift cylinder stops, start engine and lower header to ground.
9. Slowly back combine away from header.
