Attaching Header To Combine; Adjusting Latching Hooks - MacDon C Series Unloading And Assembly Instructions

4.5 Attaching Header to Combine

The header must be attached to a combine before assembly can be completed.
IMPORTANT:
Headers are shipped already configured for a specific combine brand. If the header will be attached to a different combine
brand, remove the factory-installed mounting kit and install the mounting kit recommended for the new combine brand
before attaching the header to the combine.
NOTE:
Ensure that the combine feeder house's lugs are free of dirt and debris. Check the locking mechanism for freedom of
movement, and ensure that it is free of damage; make any necessary repairs to the locking mechanism before attaching
the header to the combine.
NOTE:
Ensure that all electrical and hydraulic connectors are clean and free of dust and debris.
1. Engage and securely attach the header to the combine following the instructions provided in the combine operator's
manual.
2. Engage the header safety props. For instructions, refer to the combine operator's manual.

4.5.1 Adjusting Latching Hooks

After picking up the header with the combine, you will need to adjust the latching hooks, which are specific to each
combine model. Ensure the locking pins are securely seated before proceeding.
Refer to the applicable instructions for your combine model below.
Case IH 1000–2000
1. Locate the U-bolts on the transition frame on the rear of
the header, just below the outboard corners of the delivery
opening.
2. Adjust nuts (A) on the U-bolts as required to provide
adequate clamping force. Refer to the combine operator's
manual for the correct adjustments and latching methods.
