Unloading Header and Adapter from Trailer
The following procedure applies when two headers are shipped on a trailer.
CAUTION
To avoid injury to bystanders from being struck by machinery, do NOT allow people to stand in
unloading area.

Equipment used for unloading must meet or exceed requirements specified below. Using inadequate
equipment may result in chain breakage, vehicle tipping, or machine damage.

Forklifts are normally rated with load centered 610 mm (24 in.) from back end of forks. To obtain forklift capacity for
a load centered at 1220 mm (48 in.), check with your forklift distributor.
