LOWER WINDROWER TO WORKING POSITION
1. Choose an area with level ground. Rest each
tire on two 2x4's (side by side) or one 2x6 (B)
to provide ground clearance and prevent
damage to conditioner shield when windrower
is lowered.
2. Block wheels at (C) and set 14 inch (350 mm)
blocks (D) for support at rear of skid plates.

framework in place to support the top cover as
windrower is lowered.

its "underside".
Attach chain hooks to lean bar at slots (F).
NOTE: Do not lift at lean bar when unloading
from trailer. This procedure is only for laying
the machine over into working position.
IMPORTANT: See "Chain Requirements" in
this section for minimum chain specifications.
Also, chain length must be sufficient to provide
a minimum 4 feet (1.2 m) vertical chain height.
5. Raise forks to take most of the weight off
windrower frame and back up SLOWLY to
lower machine onto blocks (D).
CAUTION: Stand clear when
lowering, as machine may swing.
