Connecting R2 Series Rotary Disc Header Hydraulic and Electrical Systems

Connecting the R2 Series Rotary Disc Header's hydraulic and electrical systems to the windrower involves attaching the
header's knife drive, pressure, return, case drain, and electrical connectors to the windrower's receptacles.
IMPORTANT:
To prevent contamination of the hydraulic system, use a clean rag to remove dirt and moisture from all hydraulic couplers.
1. Approach platform (A) on the left cab-forward side of the
windrower. Ensure that the cab door is closed.
2. Push latch (B) and pull platform (A) toward the walking
beam until it stops and the latch engages.
3. Retrieve hydraulic hoses (A) from the header and route the
hose bundle under the windrower frame.
NOTE:
Adding anti-seize compound to the hose holder pin will
make future removal easier.
4. Insert pin (B) into hole (C) in the windrower frame.
IMPORTANT:
Route the hydraulic hoses as straight as possible, avoiding
wear points that could damage the hoses. To prevent
abrasion damage, the hoses should have enough slack to
pass by the multicoupler bracket without contacting it. To
adjust the slack in the hoses, loosen the clamps below
pin (B), adjust the hoses, then retighten the hose holder.
