CONVERTING FROM FIELD POSITION TO
TRANSPORT
1. Raise header to full height.
2. Rotate levers from field to transport positions:
a. Rotate lever on hitch to transport position (A).
b. Rotate lever on left wheel lock to transport
position (B).
3. Drive forward, until telescoping hitch locks in
transport position. NOTE: A slight, temporary
increase in speed as well as steering to the left
will assist in starting the telescoping action of
the hitch. Slow down once hitch telescopes.
4. Once the hitch is locked, continue driving
forward slowly while holding header lift valve
control lever in the UP position until right wheel
rotates into transport position
NOTE: In hilly terrain, a slight variation in the
above procedure will provide more positive control
of the conversion process. This will require one
additional trip off the tractor. Proceed in the
following order: Step 1, Step 2a, Step 3, Step 2b,
Step 4, Step 5.
5. Install lock pins:
a. Install pin (C) in transport position on
telescoping hitch. Secure with hairpin.
