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 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 split ring 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. Remove plastic wear strip from under adapter
pan, if equipped. Leave wear strip attached to
clips on cutterbar.
STEPS 7 TO 12 ARE FOR 962 HEADERS ONLY.
FOR 972 HEADERS, GO TO STEP 13.
7. Set 6" (150 mm) blocks under the adapter
feeder pan.
8. Disengage header lift cylinder stops and lower
header so feeder pan rests on blocks.
9. Loosen and rotate cutterbar anchors (D) away
from cutterbar.
