Adapter Mounting Instructions
for Gleaner Combines
ATTACHING ADAPTER TO COMBINE
1. Slowly drive combine up to adapter until feeder
house truss hooks (C) are directly under
adapter top cross member.
2. Raise feeder house to lift adapter, ensuring
truss hooks are properly engaged in adapter
frame. Raise adapter fully, allowing the lower
pins to penetrate the holes in the adapter back.
WARNING: To avoid bodily injury or
death from unexpected start-up or
fall of raised attachment; stop
engine, remove key and engage lift
cylinder stop before proceeding with
hook-up.
3. Insert concave door tool (E) in latch socket (F)
and rotate latch clockwise to lock hooks (G)
into the adapter frame (both sides). MAKE
CERTAIN that the latch is rotated over-center
to securely lock the hooks. If it does not latch,
check to determine if the lower pins (H) are
seated in the adapter back. If not, place a block
under the left end of the adapter and lower the
adapter to reseat the pins. Re-latch the hooks.
4. Raise the adapter and lower it against the
ground a few times to settle the adapter on the
feeder housing.
