ATTACHING & DETACHING
ATTACHING HEADER TO TRACTOR AND ADAPTER
5. Header with 741/742 Hay Conditioner
a. Attach chain at right side of conditioner to
adapter frame at middle hole (H) as shown.
NOTE: For steeper header angles, lower hole
may give better conditioner ground clearance.
See Header Operator’s Manual for ground
clearance adjustment. To avoid damage to
conditioner drive, do not install chain in top
inboard hole (K) in this application. If highest
setting is required, use outboard hole (L).
b. Attach conditioner float spring to adapter
frame at (J), using 5/8 x 4-½ thread full length
hex bolt. Turn bolt into spring until spring
insert contacts mounting bracket. (Full spring
extension.)
c. IMPORTANT: Support rear of forming shield
by attaching to rubber straps at longest strap
length to ensure adequate clearance between
pump and hay conditioner shield as header is
raised. (Once header is raised, shorten strap
length if desired.)
6. Raise the header. Stop engine and remove
key.
