5 Lubricating the Mower Conditioner, page 127. R113/R116 Pull-Type Rotary Disc Mower Conditioners can be equipped with either a ﬁnger conditioner, a polyurethane roll conditioner, or a steel roll conditioner. Follow these instructions to change conditioners (disregard this if the mower conditioner will be delivered to the customer as is).
Page 200 CHANGING THE CONDITIONER 7. Open lift cylinder lock-out valves (A) (handle is vertical). 8. Start tractor and fully lower mower conditioner. 9. Shut down tractor and remove key from ignition. 10. Check that ﬂoat adjuster bolts (B) are loose. Back off adjuster bolts as required.
Page 201 CHANGING THE CONDITIONER 14. On the right-hand side of the mower conditioner, remove the M20 nut (A), washers, and hex head bolt (B) securing the carrier leg (C) and ﬂoat spring arm (D) to the mower conditioner. 15. Move ﬂoat spring arm (D) clear of conditioner. Figure 9.6: Right Side of Carrier 16.

CHANGING THE CONDITIONER 9.2 Removing the Conditioner CAUTION Ensure spreader bar is secured to the forks so that it cannot slide off the forks or towards the mast while detaching the conditioner from the mower. 1. Attach a spreader bar (A) to a forklift or equivalent, and attach chains to lugs (B) on conditioner.
Page 204 CHANGING THE CONDITIONER 5. Remove two M16 hex head bolts (A) from each side of conditioner that secure it to mower. Figure 9.13: Left Side of Conditioner – Right Side Similar CAUTION Stand clear when detaching the conditioner. 6. Lift conditioner (A) off mower (B), and move it away from work area.

Figure 9.20: Drive Pulley 6. Position tensioner assembly (A) as shown and secure with M16 x 120 bolt (B) and nut (C).
Page 208: Assembling Header And Carrier
CHANGING THE CONDITIONER 9.4 Assembling Header and Carrier The carrier must be attached to a tractor for the header and carrier to be assembled. DANGER To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected startup of machine, always stop engine and remove key from ignition before leaving operator’s seat for any reason.
Page 209 CHANGING THE CONDITIONER 7. Inspect carrier leg (A) for excess gap between inner steel sleeve of the bushing and the header brackets. If there is a gap, install washer (MD #5113, 0.047 in [1.2 mm thick]) to both sides of the carrier leg to minimize the gap.
Page 210 CHANGING THE CONDITIONER NOTE: Ensure proper pulley conﬁguration installation—large pulley installed onto gearbox for roll conditioner, and small pulley installed onto gearbox for ﬁnger conditioner. 19. Install conditioner drive belts (A) onto pulleys. 20. Check that tensioner spring installed correct location: •...
Page 211 CHANGING THE CONDITIONER ™ 30. If Road Friendly Transport system is installed, reconnect electrical harness (A) to the lights (B) and secure harness to shielding using existing clips (C) and (D). 31. Secure harness to light bracket with cable ties (E). Figure 9.30: Electrical Harness 32.
