SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
4. Mounting the Front Axle Assembly
Mount two wheels and tires to the hubs on the Ball Hitch Tongue
and Axle Assembly. Use a star pattern to secure the wheel rim
to the hub and tighten to SAE specifications. Once both wheels
are secured to the front axle, raise the spring loaded pin on the
Header Transport Main Frame and engage the ball hitch on the
Front Axle Assembly. (Be sure the ball is greased before
attaching to the gooseneck frame.) Once the ball hitch has
engaged the locking tube, lower the spring loaded pin into the
hole located on the Front Axle Assembly to prevent the
assembly from unlatching during transport.
5. Attaching the Adjustable Brackets and Upper Bar
Secure the Upper Bar Channel Support to the left side of the
three cross frame channels on the Main Base Frame using one
5/8” x 6” pin and hair pin. Secure the Upper Bar Support Arm to
the vertical u-brackets located on the right side of the Main Base
Frame using one 5/8” x 6” pin and hair pin. Connect the channel
arm to the support arm using one 5/8” x 6” pin and hair pin. The
support arms and channel arms can be adjusted and pinned to
obtain many different heights and positions.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that all three assemblies are
positioned at the same location and height to ensure the upper
bar will fit properly.
Secure the Upper Bar Slide Bracket to each the three channel arm using two 5/8” x 6” pins and hair pins.
Be sure to position all three slide brackets at the same position on the channel arm. Position the Upper
Bar on top of the three slide brackets and secure using the Upper Bar Clamps and two 1/2” washers and
two 1/2” lock nuts. The angle of the Upper Bar can be adjusted by removing and repositioning the 5/8” x
6” Hitch Pins in the Upper Bar Adjustable Brackets.
6. Attaching the Adjustable Header Mounts and Tie-Down
Brackets
Place the Adjustable Header Mounts and Tie-Down Bracket
Assemblies on the outside left tube of the header transport main
frame as shown. Position one Adjustable Header Mount and
Tie-Down Bracket Assembly on each side of the center cross
member. Secure the Adjustable Header Mount to the outside
tube using one 3/4” x 6 1/2” Stove Bolt and Clamp Handle
Assembly.
Secure the Tie-Down Bracket to the outside tube using two 1/2”
x 5 1/2” Bolts and two 1/2” Lock Nuts. Do Not Tighten the 1/2” bolts on the top of the assembly, but allow
the Tie-Down Brackets to move freely along the outer tube. The Tie-Down Bracket can be secured with
the bolts either above or below the main frame tubing as long as the ratchet is positioned with the strap
directed upward.
