Detaching an A40DX Auger Header
Detaching the A40DX electrical and hydraulic connections from the windrower is a simple procedure, thanks to the
multicoupler. There is an additional step to perform if you are swapping a rotary disc header for an auger header.
DANGER
To prevent bodily injury or death from the unexpected start-up or fall of a raised machine, always stop the engine and
remove the key before leaving the operator
’
s seat, and always engage the safety props before going under the
machine for any reason.

NOT
rise fully, rephase the
cylinders as follows:
a.
Press and hold HEADER UP (A) switch until both
cylinders stop moving.
b.
Continue to hold the switch for 3
–

Engage the safety props on both lift cylinders as follows:
a.
Pull lever (A) toward you to release it, and then rotate
it toward the header to lower the safety prop onto the
cylinder.
b.
Repeat the previous step for the opposite lift cylinder.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure that the safety props engage over the cylinder piston
rods. If the safety prop does
NOT
engage properly, raise the
header until the safety prop fits over the rod.
