Lowering Drive Wheels
This procedure is for lowering the drive wheel when it is raised on a jack stand. This procedure applies to both
drive wheels.
CAUTION
Jack stand must be capable of supporting a minimum of 2268 kg (5000 lb.).
1. Place a jack under the leg jack point (A), and raise the
drive wheel slightly off the jack stand.
2. Remove the jack stand from under the cylinder lift
mount (B). Lower the drive wheel to the ground.
3. Remove the jack.

5.14.10 Caster Wheels
Adjusting Caster Tread Width
The rear casters can be adjusted to a narrow tread width, which allows loading and shipping without having
to remove them.
A narrow tread width is better suited for smaller headers because it allows more space to the uncut crop, and provides
more maneuverability around poles, irrigation inlets, and other obstacles.
A wider tread width reduces runover in heavy crops that produce large windrows.
DANGER
To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected startup of the machine, always stop the engine and remove
the key from the ignition before leaving the operator’s seat for any reason.
CAUTION
Park on a
fl
at, level surface with the header on the ground and the ground speed lever in N-DETENT position
with the steering wheel locked.
1. Park windrower on level ground, and block the drive wheels.
2. Place the ground speed lever (GSL) in N-DETENT.
3. Shut down the engine and remove the key.
