STEP 4. REPOSITION CASTER
WHEELS
As an option, the rear casters can be adjusted to
a narrow tread width to allow loading and
shipping without having to remove them.
A
NARROW TREAD
width also suits smaller
headers by allowing more space to the uncut
crop, and provides more maneuverability around
poles, irrigation inlets, or other obstacles.
A
WIDER TREAD
width is useful in heavy crops
that produce large windrows so that run-over is
reduced.
a. Raise rear of windrower slightly so that most of
the weight is off the casters, using a jack or
other lifting device under the frame where
shown.
NOTE
Lifting device should have a lifting
capacity
of
at
least
5000
lb
(2270 kg).
b. Remove six bolts (four on backside, two on
underside) and washers from left and right side
of walking beam.
c. Slide extensions outboard equal amounts, and
align holes at desired location.
IMPORTANT
Caster wheels must be equi-distant
from center of windrower.
d. Position bracket (A), and install bolts. The two
shorter bolts (B) are installed at the back inboard
locations. Torque as follows:
1. Snug
bottom
bolts.
2. Tighten and torque back bolts to 330 lbf·ft
(447 N·m).
3. Tighten and torque bottom bolts to 330 lbf·ft
(447 N·m).
e. Lower windrower to ground.
IMPORTANT
Re-torque bolts after first 5, and 10
hours of operation.
