FIELD POSITION
(continued)
9.
At right hand dual wheel assembly:
Remove hairpins and bars (F) and
(0)
from
transport position at cutterbar anchor.
Lower cutterbar support
(E)
and
rotate bar (F)
to
storage position shown. Secure with
hairpin.
10. Rotate wheel beam 90°. moving wheel from
under cutterbar to field position.
NOTE: The pivot shaft
on
the right wheel
beam can be installed at right or left side
of
wheel
support.
This
allows
field
positioning
of
the beam either "inboard" (towards center of
header) or
"outboard"
(towards
end
of
header).
See
Assembly section for installation
details.
11.
Install bar
(0)
and two hair pins
in
field
position shown, contacting edge of support
(J). This prevents beam from swinging under
raised header in field position.
12. Raise beam and install L-pin (L) in one of two
field positions. (See "Gauge Wheel Field
Positions" on page
18.)
13. Lower header to cutting height and move reel
forward to desired position.
Storage Procedure
RlH WHEELS - FIELD POSITION
(INBOARO POSITION SHOWN)
Do the following at the end of each operating season:
1.
Clean the header thoroughly.
A
CAUTION: Never
use
gasoline,
naphtha
or
any
volatile
material
for
cleaning
purposes.
These
materials
may be
toxic
and/or
flammable.
2.
Cover cutterbar
and
sickle guards to prevent
injury
from accidental contact.
Also:
3.
Store machine in a dry protected place if possible.
If
machine is stored outside, cover with a waterproof
canvas or other protective material.
4.
If
machine is stored outside, remove drapers and store in a
dar1<,
dry place.
NOTE:
If
drapers are not removed, store header with cutterbar lowered so water/snow will
not
accumulate on drapers. This accumulation of weight puts excessive stress on drapers and header.
5.
Lower header onto blocks to keep cutterbar off the ground.
6.
Lower reel completely.
If
stored outside, tie reel to frame to prevent rotation caused by wind.
7.
Repaint all
wom
or
chipped painted surfaces to prevent rust.
8.
Lubricate the machine thoroughly. leaving excess grease on fittings to keep moisture out
of
bearings.
Oil cutterbar and apply grease to exposed threads and sliding surfaces
of
components.
9.
Check for worn
or
broken components and repair or order replacements from your dealer. Attention
to these items right away
will save time and effort at beginning
of
next season.
10. Replace or tighten any missing or loose hardware. See Specifications section for torque charts.
