TOWING
THE
WINDROWER ON A TRAILER
For
transporting the windrower other
than
under
its
own
power,
a side mount trailer (A) carrying
all
four windrower
wheels
is recommended.
Also acceptable are side mount trailers (8) where
the
windrower tail wheels remain on the
ground.
For
this type, tighten caster set
screws,
step
7,
below.
For narrower headers, front
or
rear mount trailers
may
be used, providing local
laws
regarding width
regulations are adhered to.
A
WARNING:
Whentowingthewindrower
on a
trailer:
1.
Keep header fully raised
and reel fully lowered.
2.
Chain windrower securely to
trailer.
Run
chains
through triangular brackets
(C)
at rear of
tractor frame legs and through anchor
(D)
at
rear of frame.
Be sure windrower
weight
is
centered
on
trailer for stable
load.
Block drive
wheels to prevent movement.
3. Transport
width is approximately
20
a
{6.1
m).
Check local laws for width regulations and
lighting or marking requirements.
4.
Remember that
when towing windrower
side-
ways or backwards, slow moving vehicle
emblem,
reflectors
and
warning lights are
not
easiy visible.
It
is your responsibility to
adequately mark the load
when transporting
in
this fashion.

light switch to FLASHER position to
activate amber lamps.
6. Do
not
tow the windrower on a
roadway
at
night,
or
in
conditions
which reduce
visibility,
such as fog or rain.
The
width of the load
makes
it
unsafe to
transport under
these
conditions.
7.
If towing at speeds over
16
mph
(26 km/h),
on
a
type
(8) trailer:
a) Align caster wheels with traier
wheels.
b)
Tighten caster
set
screws

20
a
lbs. {27

to prevent erratic
movement
of the
casters. Failure to do this will
result
in
caster
damage
and
could
cause
loss of
control.
c) Loosen
set
screws after
transport. _
