SAFETY RULES

ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

 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, judgment, 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

9 Understand that your safety and the safety of other persons are 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 your work.

9 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.

9 A frequent cause of personal injury or death is from persons falling off equipment and being run over. Do

not permit persons to ride on this machine.

9 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.

9 Collision of high speed road traffic and slow moving machines can cause personal injury or death. On

roads, use flasher lights according to local laws. Keep slow-moving-vehicle emblem visible. Pull over to
let faster traffic pass.

9 Make sure that the header is fastened securely to the transport before moving.

9 Make sure that everyone is clear of equipment before applying power or moving the machine. NEVER

position yourself under or near header when mounting on header transport.

9 Never adjust, service, clean or lubricate the header transport until all power if shut off.

9 Make sure that the implement is fastened securely to the tractor by using the proper hitch pin, clip and

safety chains.

9 Before unhooking the implement from the towing unit, be sure to properly block the wheels to prevent the

implement from moving.

9 Never overload the header transport. Overloading the header transport is dangerous and can cause

extensive damage.

9 Do NOT exceed speeds in excess of 25 MPH. The header transport is designed for heavy loads at slow

speeds. Also be sure slow moving vehicle emblem is attached to rear of wagon.

9 IMPORTANT: 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.

INITIAL OPERATION / MAINTENANCE
BE CERTAIN THAT ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF BEFORE SERVICING THE HEADER TRANSPORT

Before the header transport is put into service:

9 Has the Slow-Moving Vehicle Emblem been properly positioned at the rear of the header

transport?

9 Have all danger, warning, caution and important 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.

9 Are all braces, bolts, nuts, lug bolts and lug nuts properly fastened?
9 Has the header transport been properly fastened to the towing unit? Use a good quality hitch pin

with clip and safety chains.

9 Are the rear amber extremity lights properly positioned? Extend lights within 16” of the left and

right extremities of the header.

SAFETY CHAIN USER INSTRUCTIONS

a) Secure the safety chain by looping it around the tongue

support located on the underside of the Outer Tongue. Run
the chain through the intermediate support located on the
underside of the inner 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.

 Grease the ball using the zerk on the front gooseneck assembly every 8 hours or as needed.
 Be sure to check the hub nuts often and keep them properly tightened.

BRAKING SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
Tow Loads Safely

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
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.
