Proper Shoe (heel rest) Position;
(Brands & models will differ)
-If header is fitted with a beam along bottom rear, typically
shoes should be positioned close to front and back of wagon.
-If header is NOT fitted with beam along bottom rear, position
shoes so vertical posts on back of header will rest on them.
