3.16 Attaching A40DX Auger Header to M1 and M2 Series Windrowers
The header’s hydraulic multicoupler must be connected to the windrower before operation.
DANGER
To prevent injury or death from the unexpected start-up of the machine, always stop the engine and remove the key
from the ignition before leaving the operator’s seat for any reason.
This procedure is for A Series Headers equipped with the Auger Header Compatibility kit (B5998) or the A40D SP Grass
Seed Auger Conversion kit (B6384). Kits B5998 and B6384 include a new manifold and hose bundle required for operation
with an M1 and M2 Series Windrower, and effectively convert an A40D header into an A40DX header.
Refer to your windrower operator’s manual for instructions for mechanically attaching an A40DX Auger Header to an M1
and M2 Series Windrower and for modifications to the windrower hydraulic connections (if required).
Header drive hydraulic hoses and electrical harness are located on the left, cab-forward side of the windrower. To connect
the hydraulic and electrical bundle from an A40DX header to an M1 Series Windrower, follow these steps:
1. Shut down the engine, and remove the key from the ignition.
Figure 3.137: Hose Bundle
2. Route header hose bundle through hose guide (A) on
header as shown.
Figure 3.138: Hose Support
3. Insert hose support (B) into hole (A) in the windrower left
leg, and route header hose bundle (C) under the windrower
to the hydraulic and electrical couplers.
