Rotary Disc-Only Configuration – Hard-Plumbed Connections
The rotary disc-only configuration allows the windrower to operate with compatible rotary disc headers. The hydraulic
connections must be torqued correctly when using hard-plumbed fittings.
DANGER
To prevent bodily injury or death from the unexpected start-up of the machine, always stop the engine and remove the
key from the ignition before making adjustments to the machine.
CAUTION
Do NOT stand on an unlocked platform. It is unstable and may cause you to fall.
IMPORTANT:
To prevent contamination of the hydraulic system, use a clean rag to remove dirt and moisture from all (fixed and
movable) hydraulic couplers.
1. Shut down the engine, and remove the key from the ignition.
2. Approach platform (A) on the left side of the windrower.
Ensure that the cab door is closed.
3. Push latch (B) and pull platform (A) toward the walking
beam until it stops and the latch engages.
4. 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.
5. 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.
