Assembly
This assembly manual is for CHC25, 30, 36 Header Wagon models. The CHC30 is used as an example in the illustrations
but generally applies to all header wagon models. Model specific instructions are identified in the manual.
The machine is shipped from the factory in a partially disassembled configuration and attached to a pallet that provides
easy moving and handling. Always use tools, equipment and fork lifts of appropriate size and capacity for the job.
When the machine is shipped, follow this safe assembly procedure:
1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children.
2. Be sure you have all the required tools before you start.
3. Prepare a clean, clear work area that is accessible from all sides.
4. Remove all the parts from the shipping package, and keep hardware in an accessible place (work bench etc)
