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.
