Before the header transport is put into service:

• Has the Slow-Moving Vehicle Emblem been properly positioned at the rear of the header transport?

• Have all danger, warning, caution and important signs on the equipment been read and understood? If employees or others use or

are near this equipment, make sure that they also have read and understood all danger, warning, caution, and important signs on the

equipment and have also read the operators manual.

• Are all braces, bolts, nuts, lug bolts and lug nuts properly fastened?

• Has the header transport been properly fastened to the towing unit? Use a good quality hitch pin with clip and safety chains.

•

Adjust the brackets on the header transport to best fit your make and model header. When mounting the header, NEVER position

yourself under or near the header.

• Do not exceed the load and size limits of the unit.

• Keep the tires properly inflated. Both under inflation and over inflation can greatly reduce tire life.

• Inspect bracing and welds periodically and repair immediately if needed. Failure to repair could cause extensive damage and greatly

reduce the life of the unit.

• Repack the bearings in the hub assembly once a year or as needed. Use a good quality bearing lubricant such as Bearing Guard MK1

or equivalent.

• Insert the amount of grease needed into all of the grease zerks shown in the image above.

• Be sure to check the hub nuts often and keep them properly tightened.

• Check alignment of tires yearly. Adjust the push pull bar to realign the tires if needed.
