Adjusting Stabilizer / Slow Speed Transport Wheels - MacDon FlexDraper FD1 Series Operator's Manual

Adjusting Stabilizer / Slow Speed Transport Wheels

A properly adjusted header will achieve a balance between the amount of header weight carried by the float and
the amount carried by the stabilizer / slow speed transport wheels.
DANGER
To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected start-up of machine, always stop engine and remove key
from ignition before leaving operator's seat for any reason.
1. Raise the header so the stabilizer wheels are off the ground. Shut down engine and remove the key.
2. Remove the hairpin (A) from the latch on the right wheel
assembly.
3. Disengage the latch (B), lift the wheel out of the hook,
and place on the ground as shown. (This reduces
weight of assembly and makes adjusting the wheel
position easier.)
4. Lift the left wheel slightly to support the weight, and the
pull handle (C) upwards to release the lock.
5. Lift the left wheel to the desired height and engage the
support channel into the slot (D) in the upper support.
6. Push down on the handle (C) to lock.
7. Lift the right wheel back into the field position and
ensure the latch (B) is engaged.
8. Secure the latch with hairpin (A).
9. Support the wheel weight by lifting slightly with one
hand, and pull up on handle (A) to release the lock.
10. Lift the wheels to the desired height, and engage the
support channel into the slot (B) in the upper support.
11. Push down on the handle (A) to lock.
