Revision B
Attaching Header to Towing Vehicle
Read and understand the guidelines for towing a header to prevent loss of control leading to bodily injury and/or machine
damage.
CAUTION
Adhere to the following transport instructions to prevent loss of control leading to bodily injury and/or machine
damage:
•
The weight of the towing vehicle must exceed the header weight to ensure adequate control and braking
performance. Refer to
for weights.
•
Do NOT tow with any highway-capable vehicle. Use only an agricultural tractor, a combine, or a properly configured
MacDon windrower.
•
Ensure the reel is fully lowered and back on the support arms to increase header stability during transport. For
headers with hydraulic reel fore-aft, never connect the fore-aft couplers to each other or the circuit will be
complete and the reel could creep forward during transport.
•
Check that all the pins are properly secured in the transport position at the wheel supports, cutterbar support,
and hitch.
•
Check the tire condition and pressure prior to transporting.
•
Connect hitch to towing vehicle using a proper hitch pin with a spring locking pin or other suitable fastener.
•
Attach the hitch safety chain to the towing vehicle. Adjust the safety chain length to provide only enough slack to
permit turning.
•
Connect the header seven-pole plug wiring harness to the mating receptacle on the towing vehicle (the seven-pole
receptacle is available from your MacDon Dealer parts department.)
•
Ensure all lights are functioning properly, and clean the slow moving vehicle sign and other reflectors. Use flashing
warning lights unless prohibited by law.
Towing the Header
Read and understand the guidelines for towing a header to prevent loss of control leading to bodily injury and/or machine
damage.
CAUTION
Adhere to the following transport instructions to prevent loss of control leading to bodily injury and/or machine
damage:
•
Do NOT exceed 32 km/h (20 mph).
•
Reduce transport speed to less than 8 km/h (5 mph) in slippery and rough conditions.
•
Turn corners at very low speeds (8 km/h [5 mph] or less); header stability is reduced while cornering. Do NOT
accelerate at any point when turning.
•
Obey all highway traffic regulations in your area when transporting on public roads. Use flashing amber lights
unless prohibited by law.
