ATTACHING THE HAY CONDITIONER
WARNING: Avoid possible injury or
death from fall of hay conditioner:
a. Be sure header stand is secure, with L-pin
(L) engaged and locked with hairpin. In soft
conditions, use a 2 x 4 block under stand.

is suspended from lift cables only. Keep
hands clear of conditioner and header when
winching.

securely tightened before installing or
removing lower mounting bolts. Hay
conditioner weighs approximately 730 lbs.
(330 kg) and will fall suddenly if lift system

conditioner to header. See Windrower Tractor or
Adapter Operator's Manual.

flatwasher, lockwasher and nut) is in place on
both sides.
NOTE: Watch clearance at gear case (B) and L/H
header leg (C).
If no means of moving the conditioner is available,
