Repositioning Caster Wheels
The caster wheels can be positioned in two different widths: narrow tread width and wider tread width. Ensure the caster
wheels are set at the desired width, and reposition the wheels if necessary.
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 is preferable for reducing run-over in heavy crops that produce large windrows.
To reposition the caster wheels, do the following:

1.
Raise the rear of the windrower slightly using a jack or
other lifting device under the frame at location (A) until
most of the weight is off the casters.
NOTE:
The lifting device must have a lifting capacity of at least
2270 kg (5000 lb.).
2.
Remove six bolts and washers (B) (four on the backside and
two on the underside) from the left and right sides of the
walking beam.

Slide the left and right side extensions equal distances in
the outboard direction, and align the holes at the preferred
locations.
NOTE:
Rotate the caster so the wheel is parallel to the axle to
facilitate extension repositioning.
