Attaching Corn Head to Feeder House

IMPORTANT: See your combine operator's manual for specific tires required when operating the header.

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.

1. Sound horn, start engine and lower feeder house.

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

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

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

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

With header attached, latch pins should move freely through latch plate holes. If latch pins do not extend through the latch plates, make sure that the latching plates on the header are properly adjusted.

7. Install multi-coupler (A) onto receptacle (B) and close handle (C).

2. Latch pins (A) should move freely through latch plate holes in header when multi-coupler is latched. Latch plate (B) must make contact with bracket (C). Less clearance (D) should be maintained between bottom of plate and pin rather than top of plate (E) and pin. This may require latch plate to be flipped.

3. If adjustment is needed: Remove cap screws (F), flip plate (D) end for end and reinstall.

4. Tighten cap screws to M10 specification.
