IMPORTANT: Latch pins are not to be actuated with header on the ground. If multi-coupler must be actuated with header on ground, unhook cable from handle.

IMPORTANT: Attaching platform to a 9560 STS, flight extension are required (see your John Deere dealer).

Sound horn, start engine and lower feeder house.

Drive combine slowly forward until feeder house is centered in attachment frame opening.

Raise platform completely, making sure two hooks (A) on feeder house catch front side of main frame beam of platform.

Set parking brake, shut off engine, remove key and lower safety stop.

NOTE: To prevent damage to the latching cable, a shear screw is attached to the handle. Attempts to actuate the latching pins with the header on the ground will shear the screw on the handle. (See Extra Shear Screw Location later in this section.)

Combine without cable latching option, skip to next step.

Install multi-coupler (A) onto receptacle (B) on feeder house and close handle (C).
