operation.
7.1 ADAPTER SET-UP
The following sections outline recommended
adapter set-up guidelines, depending on your
combine and crop.
The recommendations cannot cover all
conditions.
If feeding problems develop with adapter
operation, refer to Section 11
TROUBLESHOOTING for detailed information.
7.1.1 Center-Link Kit
Some combine models require shorter center-link
components to ensure clearance to the combine
cab.
To avoid damage to your combine, lift feeder
slowly and check clearance between cab and
header center-link.
If clearance is inadequate, contact your MacDon
Dealer to order short center-link components.
Installation instructions are included.
The following combine models have been
identified for requiring the SHORT center-link
components:
 Case IH 5088, 6088, and 7088 without
Stone Traps.
 Gleaner R Series.
