SPECIFIC COMBINE FOR PERTINENT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
First compare the contents with the enclosed “Packing Slip” to confirm that you have
received the correct size panels and associated hardware for your model header.
Also confirm that you have received the correct center panel for your feeder opening
and/or model combine as illustrated below.
Combine Model 1680, 1688, 2188 and 2388
Combine Model 1620, 1640, 1644, 1660
1666, 2144 and 2166
The terms “LEFT”, “RIGHT”, “FRONT”, and “REAR ” are determined by facing in the
direction the combine will travel when in use.

2. Remove all patches; repairs or added bolts that would restrict the poly covers from
laying flat against the top surface of the metal trough. The poly covers can be
installed over heavily worn metal and over holes in the metal plates if the holes do
not exceed 3 inches in width (front to back) and are less than 18 inches in length
(left to right).
1. Clean the metal trough to remove all dirt and crop residue.
3. With the corn head connected to the combine, raise the feeder house to maximum
height and engage the feeder safety lock.
(Shown below for reference only. See your operator's manual for specifics on your machine)
Raise feeder to maximum up position and lower safety stop over the piston rod of the
