Initial Setup
Before attempting to load the header wagon, ensure the wagon is either attached to the tow vehicle or the wheels have
been secured with wheel chocks to prevent unwanted movement during the loading process. To start using the header
wagon, two basic adjustments should be made for the initial setup:
•
Universal Header Pads
•
Top Rail System
Universal Header Pads
To prevent potential injury, avoid working around the
wagon with the header positioned above it. To ensure
safe working conditions, move the header away from the
wagon when making adjustments.
5 Basic Configurations
•
Base Pad - low profile corn head
•
Large Pad - for most draper heads
•
High Back Pad - for flex draper head
•
Low Back Pad - for standard cutting platform
•
Low Back - for standard corn head
Determine the type of header that you have and configure
the universal header pads to best fit your header. (page

You can fine tune the header pad by making height, tilt
and depth setting adjustments.(page 19)
Adjust the position of the header pads along the wagon
bottom rail to align with the skid plate heel,(corn header)
or space the header pads close to the front and back
along the bottom main beam of the header (grain header).
Ensure the heal of the header will sit firmly on the header
pad.
Position the header evenly from front to back on the
wagon, do not position the header beyond the front of the
top rail to ensure there is adequate clearance between the
tow vehicle and header. If extra clearance is required the
tongue may be extended up to 91.5 cm (3.0').
