9.2.1 Converting from Field to Transport Mode – with Transport
In transport mode, the pull-type is rotated into its narrowest position to comply with road width restrictions. Steering and
lift functions are disabled.
DANGER
To prevent serious injury or death, do NOT convert the machine into, or from transport mode until all people, animals,
and objects are clear of the unit’s rotational range.
DANGER
Stop the power take-off (PTO) before converting the unit into transport mode. The cutting discs continue to spin after
the drive is turned off.
CAUTION
To prevent injury or equipment damage, ensure cutterbar doors are properly closed before converting the machine
from field to transport mode.
IMPORTANT:
In some jurisdictions, having tall crop dividers installed can make the rotary disc pull-type too wide for public roads when in
transport mode. If necessary, remove the dividers, and reinstall them after the machine is transported. For instructions,
refer to the rotary disc pull-type operator's manual.
