Form 169009 4 Model Year - 2009
2.4 GENERAL SAFETY
CAUTION
• The following are general farm safety
precautions that should be part of your
operating procedure for all types of
machinery.
• Protect yourself.
When assembling, operating and
servicing machinery, wear all the
protective clothing and personal safety
devices that COULD be necessary for
the job at hand. Don't take chances.
You may need:
• a hard hat.
• protective shoes with slip resistant
soles.
• protective glasses or goggles.
• heavy gloves.
• wet weather gear.
• respirator or filter mask.
• hearing protection. Be aware that
prolonged exposure to loud noise
can cause impairment or loss of
hearing. Wearing a suitable hearing
protective device such as ear muffs
(A) or ear plugs (B) protects against
objectionable or loud noises.
A
B
• Provide a first-aid kit for use in case of
emergencies.
SAFETY
• Keep a fire extinguisher on the machine.
Be sure the extinguisher is properly
maintained and be familiar with its
proper use.
Keep young children away from
•
machinery at all times.
• Be aware that accidents often happen
when the operator is tired or in a hurry
to get finished. Take the time to
consider the safest way. Never ignore
warning signs of fatigue.
• Wear close-fitting
clothing and cover
long hair. Never wear
dangling items such
as scarves or
bracelets.
• Keep hands, feet,
clothing and hair
away from moving parts. Never attempt
to clear obstructions or objects from a
machine while the engine is running.
• Keep all shields in place. Never alter or
remove safety equipment. Make sure
driveline guards can rotate
independently of the shaft and can
telescope freely.
• Use only service and repair parts made
or approved by the equipment
manufacturer. Substituted parts may not
meet strength, design, or safety
requirements.
• Do not modify the machine.
Unauthorized modifications may impair
the function and/or safety and affect
machine life.
(continued next page)
Form 169009 5 Model Year - 2009
SAFETY
• Stop engine and remove key from
ignition before leaving operator's seat
for any reason. A child or even a pet
could engage an idling machine.
• Keep the area used for servicing
machinery clean and dry. Wet or oily
floors are slippery. Wet spots can be
dangerous when working with electrical
equipment. Be sure all electrical outlets
and tools are properly grounded.
• Use adequate light for the job at hand.
• Keep machinery clean. Straw and chaff
on a hot engine are a fire hazard. Do not
allow oil or grease to accumulate on
service platforms, ladders or controls.
Clean machines before storage.
• Never use gasoline, naphtha or any
volatile material for cleaning purposes.
These materials may be toxic and/or
flammable.
• When storing machinery, cover sharp or
extending components to prevent injury
from accidental contact.

7.3.4 OPERATING GUIDELINES
The following tables outline recommended
adapter set-up guidelines, depending on your
combine and crop. The recommendations
cannot cover all conditions and if feeding
problems develop with adapter operation, refer
to Section 9, Troubleshooting for detailed
information.
APPLICABLE COMBINES: All except New
Holland CR, 960, 9060, 940, 9040.
CROP FLIGHTING EXTENSIONS STRIPPER BARS
Rice Yes Yes
Cereals No No
APPLICABLE COMBINES: New Holland CR,
960, 9060, 940, 9040.
CROP FLIGHTING EXTENSIONS STRIPPER BARS
All Yes Yes
NOTE
For special conditions, 20T, 22T, and 26T
sprockets are available to change
adapter feed auger speed. Consult your
dealer.
The following functions are adjusted through
the adapter and are described in the following
sections:
7.3.5 HEADER FLOAT
The machine will perform best with minimum
extra weight on the header. Under normal
conditions, approximately 75 lbf (337 N) force is
required to lift the header at the diagonal brace.
See Section 7.3.5.2 Checking Header Float.
IMPORTANT
To avoid frequent breakage of sickle
components, scooping soil, or soil buildup at cutterbar in wet conditions, header
float should be set as light as possible
without causing excessive bouncing.
When float setting is light, it may be
necessary to use a slower ground speed
to avoid excessive bouncing and leaving
a ragged cut.
IMPORTANT
The stabilizer wheels may be used in
conjunction with main float to minimize
bouncing at the header ends and control
cut height. Refer to the D50 and D60
Harvest Header / FD70 FlexDraper
Operator’s Manual for details.
7.3.5.1 Float Locks
The header main float locks, lock and unlock
the header float system.
• Header Float
• Header Leveling
• Header Draper Speed
• Header Sickle Speed
• Feed Draper
• Auger
Refer to the D50 and D60 Harvest
Header/FD70 FlexDraper Operator’s Manual for
the following adapter/header operating
procedures:
• Header Angle
• Cutting Height
The main float locks must be engaged when the
header is being transported with the adapter
attached so there is no relative movement
between the adapter and header during
transport. The float locks must also be locked
during detachment from the combine to allow
the feeder house to release the adapter. There
are two locks, one on each side of the adapter.

Form 169009 62 Model Year - 2009
7.3.6 HEADER LEVELLING
The adapter is factory set to provide the proper
level for the header and should not normally
require adjustment. If the header is not level,
perform the following checks prior to adjusting
the leveling linkages.
IMPORTANT
The adapter float springs are not used to
level the header.
• Check combine tire pressures.
• Check that combine feeder house is level.
Refer to combine Operator’s Manual.
• Check that top of adapter is level with
combine axle.
Make fine adjustments to header leveling as
follows:
OPERATION
0.12 in. (2-3 mm)
.
MIN
a. Park combine on level ground.
b. Check float lock is disengaged (header can
float).
c. Check and set float adjustment. Refer to
previous section.
d. Set header approximately 6 inches (150 mm)
off ground and check that float linkage is
against down stops. Note high and low end of
header.
A
B
e. Adjust level with nut (A) at each float lock as
follows. Use small adjustments (1/4 -1/2 turn)
and adjust each side equally but in opposite
directions:
NOTE
Adjustment of more than two turns in
either direction may adversely affect
header float. Always be sure there is a
minimum 2 to 3 mm (1/8”) clearance
between frame and back of bellcrank
lever as shown.
NOTE
Float does not require adjustment after
levelling header.
NOTE
Set screw (B) does not require loosening
for adjustments up to ½ turn of nut (A).
1. Turn low-side nut clockwise to raise
header.
2. Turn high-side nut counter-clockwise to
lower header.
Form 169009 63 Model Year - 2009
OPERATION
7.3.7 HEADER DRAPER SPEED
Speed of the header or side drapers is adjusted
at the flow control on the combine adapter.
Turn knob four turns from closed to begin and
then adjust draper speed to achieve good
feeding of crop onto adapter draper. Excessive
draper speed will reduce draper life.
NOTE
If sufficient draper speed cannot be
achieved, a possible cause is low relief
pressure. Refer to Technical Service
Manual for checking and adjusting relief
pressure.
7.3.8 HEADER SICKLE SPEED
7.3.10 AUGER SPEED
The adapter auger is chain driven from a
sprocket that is mounted on the input shaft from
the combine, and which is enclosed in the drive
gearbox. The speed is determined by the
combine input shaft and is matched to each
particular combine, so no adjustment is
necessary. However, optional drive sprockets
are available to change the auger speed to
optimize auger performance.
7.3.11 AUGER PAN CLEARANCE
0.2-0.4 in. (5-10 mm)
PAN CLEARANCE AT
STEEPEST HEADER ANGLE
The header sickle drive is driven by the adapter
mounted hydraulic pump. The sickle drive
speed is factory set to match the nominal speed
of your combine feeder house.
IMPORTANT
For variable speed feeder houses, this
will be the minimum speed setting. If
desired to operate variable speed feeder
house at greater than minimum speed,
flow to the sickle drive motor must be
reduced to prevent excessive speeds
which could result in premature sickle
failure. If adjustment is required, contact
your MacDon dealer or refer to the CA20
Combine Adapter Technical Manual.
Refer to the D50 and D60 Harvest
Header/FD70 FlexDraper Operator’s Manual for
detailed procedures on sickle operation.
7.3.9 ADAPTER FEED DRAPER
The adapter feed draper is driven by the
adapter mounted hydraulic pump. The speed is
factory set and cannot be adjusted.
1.0-1.5 in. (25-40 mm)
FEED DRAPER CLEARANCE
AT FLATEST HEADER ANGLE
Adapters are factory set to the proper auger
clearances to the pan and feed draper. See
illustration.
It is important that these clearances are
maintained. Too little clearance may result in
the tines or flighting contacting and damaging
the draper or feed pan under certain
orientations of the header. Look for evidence of
contact when greasing the adapter.
Should adjustment to the auger be necessary,
proceed as follows:
a. Extend center link to maximum for steepest
header angle and fully lower the header.
