ATTACHING & DETACHING
DETACHING HEADER FROM TRACTOR AND
ADAPTER
Using this procedure, adapter will remain attached
to the tractor. This would be appropriate when
header is to be used on another power unit.
Instructions for detaching both header and adapter
from tractor are given on page 28.
1. Choose a level area.
2. Disconnect adapter wiring harness(es) at the
header.
3. Depending on header type, disconnect from
zero to five hydraulic hoses between header
and tractor/adapter. Where possible, connect
hoses to each other for storage. Plug or cap all
other couplers to prevent hydraulic system
contamination.
4. Detach driveline from header shaft. Attach
driveline to storage bracket (A). Shield chain
remains attached at (E).
5. Lower the reel and raise the header. Stop
engine and remove key.
DANGER: To avoid bodily injury
from fall of raised header, always
set adapter stands in prop position
when working under raised header.
6. Remove lynch pin at foot of adapter stand and
swing adapter stands into prop position.
Replace lynch pin at (B) to lock the position.
Repeat at other side.
7. Move float lock-out pin from storage position
(C) to engaged position (D), both sides.
8. Lower the header stand. If the ground is soft,
place a piece of wood under stand.
