Detaching R2 Series Rotary Disc Header

The instructions in this section will show you how to properly detach the header when replacing the header with a

different one or when storing the header.

To prevent bodily injury or death from the unexpected start-up or fall of a raised machine, always stop the engine and

remove the key before leaving the operator's seat, and always engage the safety props before going under the

machine for any reason.

Ensure that all bystanders have cleared the area.

Install caps and plugs on open lines to prevent the buildup of dirt and debris.

1. Start the engine, and press HEADER UP button (A) on the

ground speed lever (GSL) to raise the header to maximum

2. If one end of the header does NOT rise fully, rephase the

cylinders as follows:

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.

3. Shut down the engine, and remove the key from

the ignition.
