SAFETY RULES
A TTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOL VED!
Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately , our efforts to provide
safe equipment can be erased by an operator’s single careless act. In addition, hazard control and accident
prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, judgement, and proper training of personnel involved in
the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.
Make certain that the operator(s), prior to operating is instructed in safe and proper use and reviews and
understands the manual(s) pertaining to this machine.
Read this manual before you operate this machine. If you do not understand any part of this manual, or need
more information, contact the manufacturer or your authorized dealer .
SAFETY
Understand that your safety and the safety of other persons is measured by how you service, and operate this
machine. Know the positions and functions of all controls before you try to operate them. Make sure to check
all controls in a safe area before starting you work.
The safety information given in this manual does not replace safety codes, federal, state or local laws. Make
certain your machine has the proper equipment as designated by local laws and regulations.
A frequent cause of personal injury or death is from persons falling of f equipment and being run over. Do not
permit persons to ride on this machine.
Travel speeds should be such that complete control and machine stability is maintained at all times. Where
possible, avoid operating near ditches, embankments and holes. Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes
and rough, slick or muddy surfaces.
Make sure that the header is fastened securely to the transport before moving.
Make sure that everyone is clear of equipment before moving the machine. NEVER position yourself under or
near header when mounting on header transport.
Never adjust, service, clean, or lubricate the header transport until all power is shut off.
Make sure that the header transport is fastened securely to the tractor by using a high strength hitch pin, clip
and safety chains.
Before unhooking the header transport from the towing unit, be sure to properly block the wheels to prevent the
transport from moving.
IMPORT ANT : Use caution when transporting. Be alert of the transport unit’ s overall width when approaching
obstacles, such as post signs and poles, along the road. Check the transport width of the unit to ensure
clearance before entering bridges.
COMPLY WITH ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS IN THIS MANUAL AND IN THE COMBINE
OPERA TOR’S MANUAL.
WARNING
Be certain all lights are working properly BEFORE highway travel.
Use only 2-5/16” Ball Hitch to transport unit.

WARNING
INITIAL OPERATION/MAINTENANCE
BE CERT AIN THA T ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF BEFORE SERVICING THE HEADER TRANSPOR T
Before the header transport is put into service:
Have all danger, warning, caution and import ant signs on the equipment been read and understood? If employees
or others use or are near this equipment, make sure that they also have read and understood all danger,
warning, caution and important signs on the equipment and have also read the operator’s manual.
Are all braces, bolts, nuts, lug bolts and lug nuts properly fastened?
Has the header transport been properly fastened to the towing unit? Use a good quality hitch pin with clip and
safety chains.
SAFETY CHAIN USER INSTRUCTIONS
a) Secure the safety chain by looping it around the tongue support
located on the underside of the Ball Hitch Tongue and connect to
the towing machine’s attaching bar .
b) Do Not allow more slack than necessary for articulation.
c) Do Not use any intermediate support as the attaching point.
d) Store the safety chain by securing it around the tongue.
e) Replace the safety chain if one or more links or end fittings are
broken, stretched or otherwise damaged or deformed.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS/MAINTENANCE
Adjust the brackets on the header transport to best fit your make and model header. When mounting the
header, NEVER position yourself under or near the header . Securely fasten the header to the header transport.
Do not exceed the load and size limits of the unit.
Keep the tires properly inflated. Both under inflation and over 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 the life of the unit.
Repack the bearings in the hub assembly once a year or as needed. Use a good quality bearing lubricant such
as Bearing Gard MK1 or equivalent.
Be sure to check the hub nuts often and keep them properly tightened.
BRAKING SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
Tow Loads Safely
Stopping dist ance increases with speed and weight of towed loads, and on slopes. T owed loads with or without
brakes that are too heavy for the tractor or are towed too fast can cause loss of control. Consider the total
weight of the equipment and its load.
Observe these recommended maximum road speeds, 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 does have 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 the load does not exceed the recommended weight ratio. Use additional caution when towing loads
under adverse surface conditions, when turning, and on inclines.
