TRANSPORTING THE WINDROWER: TOWING
WARNING: To avoid injury or death from loss of control, engage transport lock pin before
transporting machine. The transport lock pin locks the machine to tow directly behind the
tractor and prevents inadvertent movement to either side due to accidental operation of the
remote hydraulic control levers or to a malfunctioning hydraulic system. Use correct transport
procedure as detailed below:
1. The hitch steering cylinder and hoses must
be full of oil before towing the windrower. If
not previously done, fill steering circuit as
follows:
• Connect the two hitch steering cylinder
hoses to a tractor hydraulic circuit.
• Steer the header completely to the left, then
right. Repeat three or four times.
2. Place transport latch rod in transport
position (A) and engage rod retainer (C).
3. Slowly shift hitch into transport position so
the machine is centered directly behind the
tractor. See "Steering" in this section. Hitch
will lock when it reaches center position.
Oscillate the header left and right a small
amount to ensure transport lock pin (B) is
properly engaged in the plate on carrier
frame.
4. Raise the windrower fully and engage lift
cylinder stop. See "Lift Cylinder Stop".
5. Do not tow with a vehicle weighing less
than 5000 lbs. (2300 kg).
6. Be sure hitch chain is properly attached to
towing vehicle. Provide only enough slack
in chain to permit turning. See "Attaching
Windrower to Tractor" in this section.
7. Be sure jack is properly attached in storage
position on frame tube.
8. Check local laws for width regulations and
lighting or marking requirements before
transporting on roads.
