ATTACHING & DETACHING
ATTACHING HEADER TO TRACTOR AND ADAPTER
The adapter should be attached to the tractor. The
header should be in stand position on level ground
with the pins removed from header legs.
1.
CAUTION: Be sure area is clear
of bystanders, then start engine.
2. Slowly drive tractor forward so that adapter lift
linkage enters header legs. Continue to drive
slowly forward until linkage contacts support
plate in the lower header leg, and header
nudges forward. Stop engine and remove key.
3. Install center link (B) from adapter to header.
Adjust length of link if required. See "Header
Angle" in Operation section.
IMPORTANT: Use top hole (A) only for 972
Header without hay conditioner. Use lower
hole for all other Header/Attachment
combinations. If top hole is used for 972
Header with hay conditioner, damage to
conditioner shield and pump may occur.
4. Check that bottom of linkage (D) is properly
engaged in header leg, contacting support
plate (E).
