Connecting Header Hydraulics Using Quick Couplers: M1240 Windrowers

To connect the M1240 Self-Propelled Windrower hydraulic hoses and electrical cords to the R85 Header, follow
these steps.
1. Use a clean rag to remove dirt and moisture from the
couplers.
2. Make the following hydraulic and electrical connections
to the windrower:
a. Connect the disc pressure hose (A) marked with
a red cable tie (B) with coupler (C) and torque to
205–226 N·m (151–167 ft·lbf)
b. Connect the disc return hose (D) with coupler (E)
and torque to 205–226 N·m (151–167 ft·lbf)
c. Connect the case drain hose (F) to fitting (G)
d. Connect the electrical harness to plug (H)
NOTE:
Elbow fittings on quick couplers should be set
at a 30° angle to allow hoses to pass by the
multicoupler without coming into contact with it.
NOTE:
The hydraulic hoses should have enough slack
in them to pass by the multicoupler (J) without
coming into contact with it. This will keep the
hoses from rubbing against the multicoupler
and protect them from becoming damaged or
worn. You can increase slack in the hoses by
loosening and adjusting the hose holder on
the front windrower leg and pulling the hoses
backwards toward the windrower.
