5. Turn tractor front wheels to the right and back
up until left wheel locks in field position.
6. Turn tractor front wheels left and back up to
pivot the front hitch, shortening telescoping
member (B) until it locks in position.
NOTE: Turn tractor wheels as required to
prevent left rear tractor tire from contacting
hitch.
If left wheel (A) has not fully castered and
locked in field position, continue backing up
until procedure is completed.
7. Drive ahead slowly while lowering header half-
way to ground, allowing right wheel (C) to
rotate to field position.
IMPORTANT: Avoid lowering header
completely before right wheel rotates to field
position. This causes high loads on the
cylinder, possibly resulting in early failure.
8. Engage PTO only when angle (D) is 45
° or
less.
