Adapter Mounting Instructions

for Agco 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.
