Chapter 2: Unloading Windrower
The windrower will need to be unloaded from the trailer with a forklift before it can be assembled.
DANGER
The equipment used to unload the shipment must meet or exceed the specifications listed below. Using inadequate
equipment may result in damage to the equipment and/or personal injury.
DANGER
Do NOT allow bystanders in the unloading area.
Table 2.1 Forklift Requirements
Minimum capacity
Minimum fork length
IMPORTANT:
Forklifts are normally rated for a load located 610 mm (24 in.) ahead of the back end of the forks. To determine the forklift
capacity when the load sits 122.2 cm (48 in.) ahead of the back of the forks, check with your forklift distributor.
To unload the windrower, do the following:
1. Clear all bystanders from the area.
2. Move the trailer onto level ground. Block the trailer wheels.
3. Set the forklift's forks to the widest possible setting.
4. Position the forklift so that it is on the side of the trailer
opposite windrower fuel tank (A).
IMPORTANT:
Ensure that the forks do NOT contact fuel tank (A) or
windrower engine oil pan (B) (not shown).
5. Position forks (C) under the windrower frame so that fuel
tank (A) sits between the forks.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure that the forks extend beyond the far side of
the frame.
NOTE:
The windrower's center of gravity is approximately
157.5 cm (62 in.) rearwards from the center of its
drive wheel.
6. Lift the windrower until it clears the trailer deck.
7. Slowly back the forklift away from the trailer until the windrower is clear of the trailer deck.
8. Lower the windrower slowly to the ground. If the ground is soft, place wooden blocks under the front shipping stands.
9. Carefully back the forklift away from the windrower.
