Moving Front (Left) Wheels Into Field Position - MacDon D2 Series Operator's Manual

Moving Front (Left) Wheels into Field Position

This procedure explains how to move the wheels to the highest storage position, but you may want to use a lower position,
depending on whether or not you want the wheels to support the header during field operations. This procedure assumes
that the tow-bar has been removed.
DANGER
To prevent bodily injury or death from the unexpected start-up or fall of a raised machine, always stop the engine,
remove the key, and engage the safety props before going under the header for any reason.
DANGER
Ensure that all bystanders have cleared the area.
1. Start the engine.
2. Raise the header until the transport wheels are 51–102 mm (2–4 in.) off the ground.
3. Shut down the engine, and remove the key from the ignition.
4. Engage the header safety props. For instructions, refer to the windrower operator's manual.
5. Turn left transport wheel assembly (A) 90° in the
direction shown.
6. Remove lynch pin (A). Pull handle (B) to engage latch (C)—
this will prevent the transport wheel assembly from
rotating.
