ATTACHING HEADERS TO AND DETACHING HEADERS FROM WINDROWER
1. Start the engine.
2. Press HEADER UP button (A) on the ground speed lever
(GSL) to raise the header to maximum height.
3. If one end of the header does NOT rise fully, rephase the
cylinders as follows:
a. Press and hold HEADER UP (A) switch until both
cylinders stop moving.
b. Continue to hold the switch for 3–4 seconds. The
cylinders are now phased.
4. Shut down the engine, and remove the key from
the ignition.
5. Engage the safety props on both lift cylinders as follows:
a. Pull lever (A) toward you to release it, then rotate it
toward the header to lower the safety prop onto the
cylinder.
b. Repeat the previous step for the opposite lift cylinder.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure that the safety props engage over the cylinder piston
rods. If the safety prop does NOT engage properly, raise the
header until the safety prop fits over the rod.
6. Remove and retain hairpin (D) and clevis pin (C) from
header support (B) and windrower lift linkage (A). Repeat
this step on the opposite side of the windrower.
