Attaching Header to Towing Vehicle
CAUTION
Adhere to the following slow speed transport instructions to prevent loss of control leading to bodily injury
and/or machine damage:
• Weight
of
towing
vehicle
must
exceed
header
weight
to
ensure
adequate
control
and
braking performance.
• Do NOT tow with any highway-capable vehicle. Use only an agricultural tractor, agricultural combine,
or a properly configured MacDon windrower.
• Ensure reel is fully lowered and back on 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 pins are properly secured in transport position at wheel supports, cutterbar support,
and hitch.
• Check 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 hitch safety chain to towing vehicle. Adjust safety chain length to provide only enough slack to
permit turning.
• Connect header 7-pole plug wiring harness to mating receptacle on towing vehicle.
(The 7-pole
receptacle is available from your MacDon Dealer parts department).
• Ensure 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
CAUTION
Adhere to the following slow speed transport instructions to prevent loss of control leading to bodily injury
and/or machine damage:
• Do NOT exceed 25 mph (40 km/h). Reduce transport speed to less than 5 mph (8 km/h) for corners and
slippery or rough conditions.
• Turn corners at only very low speeds (5 mph [8km/h] or less). Header stability is reduced while cornering
because front wheel moves to the left.
• Do NOT accelerate when making or coming out of a turn.
• Obey all highway traffic regulations in your area when transporting on public roads. Use flashing amber
lights unless prohibited by law.
