LOOSEN NUTS TO RAISE TONGUE
B
OPERATION
TRANSPORTING THE WINDROWER: FLATBED
CAUTION: Use the following
procedure when shipping the
windrower on a flatbed trailer.
1. Raise header with tractor hydraulics and install
lift cylinder stops.
2. Position lean bar to hang vertically downward.
Install only one bolt per side. (Remove divider
rods, if equipped.)
3. Remove complete rear forming shield group, in
whole.
4. At tongue pivot, back off two 5/8 nuts (B)
approximately 3/4 inch (20 mm). This clears the
stop to allow pivoting the tongue past the
normal travel range.
NOTE:
If tongue does not raise up as nuts (B)
are loosened, lift rear of tongue with forklift to
clear stops.
5. Detach rod end of tongue shift cylinder from
frame and swing tongue to the right until no
part of tongue extends forward of header R/H
end panel (that is, the tongue must not widen
the shipping package). Secure the cylinder to
the tongue for shipping. Tie tongue to frame at
float arm (C) to prevent movement. (Use
cardboard or suitable material under the tie to
protect paint.)
CAUTION: Be sure forklifts are large
enough to lift the windrower safely.
See Specifications section for weight
of the unit.
6. Position two forklifts as shown, lift windrower
and back the flatbed trailer under the unit.
IMPORTANT:
To allow windrower to rest
securely on header panels, hitch end of tongue
must extend over rear of flatbed by
approximately 2 feet (0.6 m).
7. Lower windrower onto flatbed so its weight
rests on the tires and sloped edge (D) of
header end panels.
8. Block wheels and tie the unit down securely.
