Operation
General Information
Before hitching the header transport to any vehicle, ensure the pin hole is located close enough to the rear of the vehicle drawbar to allow the header transport tongue clevis to swing 90 degrees right or left without interference.
Initial Adjustments
Horizontal Adjustment
Support the upper rest bar with a safe lifting device and remove the horizontal adjustment pin. Reposition the bar to the desired location and install the pin.
Positioning Head On Transport
Ensure the transport is attached to the towing vehicle or that the wheels are blocked before positioning the header on transport.
Header Positioning and Adjustment
To position the header over the transport unit, ensure it is not lowered. Adjust the upper bar and verify the adjustment by pulling back up.
Light Bar Adjustment
Adjust the width of the rear light bar by loosening the wire harness and sliding the light bar sections as needed.
Transport Preparation
Ensure adequate swing clearance for the header transport tongue to prevent damage. Check tire clearance to avoid damage during turns.
Tie-Down Procedures
Use heavy-duty strap assemblies to secure the header to the transport. Ensure straps are in good condition and comply with load limits.
Electric Brakes
Electric brakes function similarly to automotive drum brakes but are actuated by electromagnets. Proper brake performance requires regular checks of wheel nut torque, brake adjustment, tire pressure, and brake synchronization.
Maintenance
Regular lubrication is essential for header transport and bearing longevity. Use SAE multi-purpose grease for lubrication points such as tongue hitch pins, steering hinge pins, and axle spindle bearings.

Regular maintenance is crucial for the 6-Wheel Steer Fieldrunner. Key components such as rear axle spindle bearings, rear axle pivots, steering bearings, and wheel bearings require annual inspection and lubrication.
Hub Installation Procedure
Lubricate seal lip with grease. Rotate hub while placing it on the spindle, ensuring no damage to the seal lip.
Periodic Checks
Regular checks should include tongue pivot pin, tie rod connections, hardware tightness, tire pressure, and wheel lug nuts.
End of Season Maintenance
After each season, inspect welds on axles, adjust tie rods for toe-in, and rotate tires diagonally for improved tire life.
Pivot Bearings and Rear Axle Frame
Tighten various nuts to specified torque values to ensure proper alignment and function.
Storage Recommendations
Before storage, repaint chipped areas, inspect and replace damaged parts, and store the implement inside on support stands.
Wheels and Tires
Ensure wheel nuts/bolts are properly torqued to prevent control loss and damage. Tire pressure should be checked and maintained according to manufacturer specifications.
Adjusting Wheel Toe-In
