3.11 Attaching Header to an M Series Windrower

The procedure for attaching the header to an M Series windrower varies depending on the type of center-link

with switches in the windrower cab, or a manually adjusted mechanical link.
An optional self-alignment kit controls the alignment of the center-link when attaching the link to the header.
Follow the appropriate procedure:
