Gauge Wheels / Transport Option

CONVERTING FROM FIELD POSITION
TO TRANSPORT

At L/H end (continued):

11. Slide bar (C) to caster side of support. (Bar

stops caster from sliding up.)

12. Move pin (B) at left wheel support from

conversion position to transport position

(through header leg as shown).

13. Disengage header lift cylinder stops and slowly

lower header until wheels are on the ground.

Block the tires to prevent header rolling and to

ensure left wheel remains under header,

tracking approximately parallel to cutterbar.

14. At right end, check that cutterbar support

contacts guards.

15. Detach header from power unit. See Windrower

Tractor or Combine Adapter Operator's Manual.

Be sure reel is fully down and all hydraulic lines

are properly disconnected and stored. If

combine adapter is to remain with the header,

ensure float lock-outs are engaged.

16. Remove hitch pole from storage on frame tube

and place hitch over left wheel caster. Position

hitch against stop welded on caster and install

pin (A) (removed in step 9) with hairpin.

IMPORTANT: Be sure pin is inserted far

enough to allow pin handle to hang down as

shown.

17. Attach wiring harness (H) at left caster.
