OPERATION
Hitching
1. Position towing vehicle in front of header transport. Lift tongue latch handle and
extended inner tongue extension enough to attach to vehicle drawbar using a ¾”
minimum diameter hitch pin and lock in place. Back-up towing vehicle to re-latch
tongue.
2. Cross transport chains and connect to towing vehicle.
Note: Before hitching the header transport to any vehicle drawbar, be sure the pin
hole is located close enough to the rear of the vehicle drawbar to allow the
header transport tongue clevis to swing 90 degrees right or left of the centerline
without interference.
Note: When hitching, be sure not to pinch wire harness. Position the wire harness
away from all pinch points and any areas that may wear the harness.
CAUTION: BE SURE TRANSPORT TONGUE IS LATCHED
BEFORE TRANSPORTING, OTHERWISE JARRING COULD
OCCUR WHEN STOPPING UNIT, CAUSING A SUDDEN SHIFT OF
LOAD.
CAUTION: ALWAYS USE TRANSPORT CHAINS WHEN
TRANSPORTING IMPLEMENTS. FAILURE TO USE TRANSPORT
CHAIN COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE IF
IMPLEMENT BECOMES DISENGAGED.
