windrower controls, and check spring length
as shown. Re-adjust wheels as required to
achieve range.

IMPORTANT

Continuous
operation with
excessive spring
compression
(i.e. spring length
shorter than
11.6 in. (295 mm)
can result in
damage to the
suspension
system.

d. Set up the stabilizer/slow speed transport wheels,

if installed, as follows: Otherwise, go to step e.

1. Adjust right wheels as follows:

i.

Remove hairpin (D) from latch (E).

ii. Disengage latch (E), and lift right wheel

out of hook, and place on ground as
shown. This reduces weight of
assembly, and makes adjusting wheel
position easier.

iii. Support left wheel weight by lifting

slightly with one hand. Pull up on handle
(F) to release lock.

iv. Lift left wheel to desired height, and

engage support channel into slot (G) in
upper support.

v. Push down on handle (F) to lock.

vi. Lift right hand wheel back into field

position, and ensure latch (E) is
engaged.

vii. Secure latch with hairpin (D).

release lock.

ii. Lift wheels to desired height, and engage

support channel into slot (H) in upper
support.

iii. Push down on handle (G) to lock.

iv. Lower header to desired cutting height

using windrower controls, and check load
indicator as shown below. Re-adjust
wheels as required to achieve range
between 2 and 3 shown.

IMPORTANT

Continuous
operation with
excessive spring
compression
(i.e. load indicator
reading greater
than #4) can
result in damage
to the suspension
system.

e. Adjust header angle to desired working angle with

the machine’s header angle controls. If angle is
not critical, set it to “mid-position”.
