RAISING WHEELS TO STORAGE POSITION
If cutting low to the ground and no gauge wheel
contact is desired, wheels can be raised to
storage position, as follows:
•
Raise header fully.
DANGER: To avoid bodily injury or
death from unexpected start-up or
fall of raised header, stop engine,
remove key and engage header lift
cylinder stops before going under
header for any reason.
•
If springs were removed from wheels, simply
raise wheel support by hand and install pin
in storage position, both sides. If springs are
installed, proceed as follows:
•
Place 10” (250 mm) blocks under L/H and
R/H gauge wheels as shown.
•
Lower header until cutterbar touches
ground.
•
Place pins (D) into storage location to lock
wheels in raised position.
•
Raise header and remove blocks.
NOTE: When converting to transport position
when wheels are in storage as above, it will be
necessary to block wheels as shown to allow
removal of pin (D) (if springs are installed).
