Industries, Ltd. makes no representation or warranty of any kind, whether expressed or implied, with respect to the

Introduction
The Slow Speed Transport option allows you to tow a 9.1–13.7 m (30–45 ft.) MacDon D65 Draper or FD75 FlexDraper®
Header behind an agricultural tractor, agricultural combine, or a properly configured MacDon windrower. Do NOT tow with
any highway-capable vehicle.
This document explains how to install the Slow Speed Transport option. A list of parts included in the kit is provided so that
you can make sure you have everything you need to install the kit. For operating or maintenance procedures, refer to the
header operator’s manual.
CAUTION
Do NOT exceed 32 km/h (20 mph) when towing a header using the Slow Speed Transport option. Reduce speed to less
than 8 km/h (5 mph) for corners and slippery or rough conditions.
Installation Time
Installation time is approximately 5.5 hours.
Conventions
The following conventions are followed in this document:
•Right and left are determined from the operator’s position. The front of the header is the side that faces the crop; the
back of the header is the side that connects to the combine or windrower.
•Unless otherwise noted, use the standard torque values provided in the header operator’s manual and technical
manual.
