SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
3. Mounting the Rear Fenders
Place one of the Base Fender Support Rail (left or right) on top
of the two rear axles between the main frame and spindle as
shown. Align the holes in the support rail with the rear axles and
loosely secure to each axle using one 3/8” x 3 1/2” x 3 1/2” U-
Bolt, two 3/8” flat washers and two 3/8” lock nuts.
IMPORTANT: Be sure the vertical face of the support rail faces
the outside of the transport (toward the tires) and the support rail
extends farther behind the second rear axle than it does the first
rear axle. If the support rail does not project farther behind the
second rear axle, the rail is located on the wrong side of the
transport and the other rail should be used.
Repeat on opposite side of transport.
Slide the Fender Support Arm across the header transport main
frame and loosely secure to the Angle Iron Support using two
1/2” x 1 1/2” Grade 5 bolts, two 1/2” washers and two 1/2” lock
nuts. Mount the Fender to the top of the Fender Support Arm
using two 3/8” x 1” flange bolts, two 3/8” rubber/metal washers
and two 3/8” whiz nuts. Be sure the side tear drop of the fender
is located toward the outside of the transport. Slide the Fender
Support Arm along the main frame until the fender is centered
above the tires to ensure proper clearance.
Repeat on opposite side of transport.
Mount one Fender L-Brackets to the front end of the fender using two 3/8” x 1” flange bolts, two 3/8”
washers and two 3/8” whiz nuts. Secure one Fender L-Bracket and Light Mounting Bracket to the rear
end of the fender using two 3/8” x 1” flange bolt, two 3/8” washers and two 3/8” whiz nuts. Secure the
other side of the L-Bracket to the Base Fender Support Rail using two 3/8” x 1” flange bolts and two 3/8”
whiz nuts. Repeat on opposite side of transport.
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.
