Throughout this manual, the terms DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION are used to indicate the degree of hazard to personnel
if proper safety procedures are not followed. These words will be used in conjunction with the Safety Alert Symbol: a dark
triangle containing a white exclamation mark.

WARNINGIndicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, Could result in death or serious injury.
IMPORTANT
The safety information given in this manual does not replace any safety codes, insurance needs, federal, state and local laws.
The Safety Alert Symbol means:
Precautions that must be followed to prevent damage to equipment.
The best safety device is a careful operator. Horst Welding
and your dealer ask that YOU be that careful, responsible
equipment operator.
Pay attention to the job at hand. Do not let your mind lose
concentration on what you are doing. No accident
prevention program can be successful without the
wholehearted cooperation of the person who is directly
responsible for the operation of the equipment.
If accidents are to be prevented (and accidents can be prevented), that prevention will come from equipment
operators who accept their complete responsibility and
anticipate the results of their actions.
The designer, the manufacturer, and the safety engineer all
help create a safe product, but their combined efforts can
be wiped out with a single careless act by the operator of
that product.
Do not attempt to operate this equipment under the
influence of drugs or alcohol.
YOU ARE THE KEY TO SAFETY BECAUSE:
YOU are responsible for the SAFE operation and maintenance of YOUR Header Wagon.
DEFINITION OF SAFETY TERMS AND SYMBOLS
ACCIDENTS CAN BE PREVENTED WITH
YOUR HELP!

else who will operate, maintain, or work around this
product, with the safety information contained in this
manual.
YOU are responsible to read ALL information contained in
this manual to any operators or maintenance personnel
who are not fully able to read the written English language.
Whether YOU read the manual as written or translate it into
another language, YOU must make certain that all

understanding of the full and exact contents of this manual.

- 5 -

20.5x8-10 12 ply ………………..…..105 PSI MAX (90 PSI recommended for optimum performance)
11Lx15 12 ply …………………..……90 PSI MAX (65 PSI recommended for optimum performance)
26x12 12 ply ………….………………62 PSI MAX (recommended).
Use a high strength hitch pin and chain to fasten Wagon to towing unit.

SAFETY CHAIN USER INSTRUCTIONS :
1. Secure safety chain by wrapping it around tongue and feeding it through chain loop located on the
outer side of tongue and connect to the towing unit’s attaching bar.
2. Do not allow more slack than necessary for articulation (max. 9 inches).
3. Do not use any intermediate support as attaching point.
4. Store safety chain by securing it around the tongue.
5. Replace safety chain if one or more links or end fittings are broken, stretched or otherwise damaged

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS / MAINTANANCE
NEVER POSITION YOURSELF UNDER OR NEAR THE HEADER WHEN MOUNTING HEADER ON
• Adjust brackets on Header Wagon to best fit your make and model header.
• Securely fasten header to Wagon. (refer to pg. 6 - 7)
• After mounting the header on Wagon, turn front wheels to make sure header is positioned clear of tire
movement.
• Absolutely no persons may ride on this equipment.
• Do not exceed load and size limits of the Wagon. Maintain speeds of 20 mph or less.
• Keep tires properly inflated. (Both over inflation and under inflation can greatly reduce tire life.)
• Inspect bracing and welds periodically and repair immediately if needed. Failure to repair could cause extensive
damage and greatly reduce life of Wagon.
• Inspect tie rods and replace bearings in steering assembly when needed.
• Repack bearings in the hub assembly once a year or as needed. Use a good quality bearing lubricant such as
Lithium EP2 or equivalent.
• Check wheel bolts often and keep them properly tightened.

BRAKING SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
WARNING
TOW LOADS SAFELY.
- 6 -
Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of towed loads and on slopes. Towed loads with or without
brakes that are too heavy for the tractor or are towed too fast can cause loss of control. Consider total weight of
equipment and its load.
Observe these recommended maximum roads speed, or local speed limits which may be lower:
If towed equipment does not have brakes, do not travel more than 32 km/h (20 mph) and do not
tow loads more than 1.5 times the tractor weight.
If towed equipment has brakes, do not travel more than 40 km/h (25 mph) and do not tow loads
more than 4.5 times the tractor weight.
Ensure load does not exceed recommended weight ratio. Use additional caution when towing loads under adverse
surface conditions, when turning and on inclines.
LOADING THE HEADER:
► Tie down brackets can be mounted at any convenient location on back of header. They should line up with
shoes. (These brackets are not required if there are other points on the head to hook the tie down straps.)
► When lowering header on to wagon, front of header should be first to make contact. Adjust top rail accordingly.
Top rail must be positioned squarely under nylon pad at front of header.
Page 9
LOADING THE HEADER (cont.):
- 7 -
► If possible, Grain Header should rest on main beam along bottom rear of header. If header is not equipped with
beam (as in picture) rest on vertical posts/brackets on rear of header.
► For Corn Header, shoe must be turned over and placed directly under rear skid plate on bottom of header.
Page 10
Proper Top Rail Position;
- 8 -
Vertical - Front of header must make contact before heel.
Horizontal - Nylon pads (behind cutter bar) must land
squarely on top of rail. (Grain Header)
Heel should drop 4-6 inches
after front has made contact.
This allows for trouble-
free head hookup.
Must rest on nylon
pad (Grain Header)
Horizontal Adjustment
Vertical Adjustment
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.
