1. Ensure that the combine is on level ground, and position
the header slightly above the ground.
2. Stop the engine, and remove the key from the ignition.
IMPORTANT:
If slow speed transport wheels are installed, the header
may be detached in either transport or field mode. If
detaching with the wheels in field mode, set the wheels to
the storage or uppermost working position, otherwise, the
header may tilt forward, making reattachment difficult.
