R85 Rotary Disc Header
This section details the procedures necessary to physically attach an R85 4.9 m (16 ft.) rotary disc header to a windrower
and to attach its hydraulic and electrical connections.
5.5.1
Attaching R85 Rotary Disc Header
The windrower may have an optional self-aligning hydraulic center-link, which allows control over the vertical position of
the center-link from the cab. If the windrower is so equipped, the procedure for attaching an R85 header will be slightly
different.
DANGER
To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected startup of the machine, always stop the engine and remove the key
from the ignition before leaving the operator
’
s seat for any reason.
