UNLOAD TONGUE
Attach chain to two brackets (A) on top of tongue.
Adjust chain lengths so tongue is lifted evenly.
LOWER WINDROWER TO WORKING POSITION
1. Choose an area with level ground. Rest each
tire on two 2x4's (side by side) or one 2x6 (B)
to provide ground clearance and prevent
damage to conditioner shield when windrower
is lowered.
2. Block wheels at (C) and set 14 inch (350 mm)
blocks (D) for support at rear of skid plates.
3. Remove deflectors (E). Remove lights from
shipping position (F) at frame legs. Set aside.
Leave the lifting framework in place to support
the top cover as windrower is lowered.
4. Drive lifting vehicle to approach windrower from
its "underside".
Attach chain hooks to lean bar at slots (G).
NOTE: Do not lift at lean bar when unloading
from trailer. This procedure is only for laying
the machine over into working position.
IMPORTANT: See "Chain Requirements" in
this section for minimum chain specifications.
Also, chain length must be sufficient to provide
a minimum 4 feet (1.2 m) vertical chain height.
5. Raise forks to take most of the weight off
windrower frame and back up SLOWLY to
lower machine onto blocks (D).
CAUTION:
lowering, as machine may swing.
6. Check that frame is sitting at proper angle, with
tongue pivot pin perpendicular to ground.
