Attaching Adapter to Header
Without Combine
1. Block header as shown, with 6”
(150 mm) blocks under cutterbar
(just outboard of center legs), and
a 4” (100 mm) block under
header stand.
NOTE: When placing block under
stand, position it outboard, so that
viewed from back of header the block
does not extend inboard where it will
interfere with the adapter entering the
header leg.
2. Chain the adapter to forklift mast
and block at bottom between
adapter and mast as shown
below.
NOTE: Do not tie center link to forklift.
3. Drive forklift forward to insert
adapter into header. If necessary,
extend center link to allow
connection to header. Readjust
center link length after hook-up.
Once the center link is attached,
proceed with attachment as
described on page 6.
