CONVERTING FROM FIELD POSITION
TO TRANSPORT (continued)
At L/H end:
20. Install hitch in socket of dual wheel spindle,
engaging hitch end-pin in channel slots.
21. Lower the top channel and secure with lynch
pin (A). Push down on handle (B) and lock
under welded bolt head to raise pin (C) to
allow wheel to pivot. Leave handle in locked
position, as the dual wheel assembly must
be free to pivot in transport.
22. Connect header wiring harness to hitch
harness at (D).
23. Swing the hitch pole around to the left end.
24. If combine adapter is to remain with the
header, ensure float lock-outs are engaged.
25. Disengage header lift cylinder stops and
slowly lower header until wheels are on the
ground. Block the tires to prevent header
rolling.
26. 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.
WARNING: For headers with
hydraulic reel fore-aft, never
connect the fore-aft couplers to
each other. This would complete
the circuit and allow the reel to creep forward
in transport, resulting in instability.
