OPERATION
3.9 Operating Recommendations
3.9.1 Operating with 15-, 16-, 18-, 20-Foot Headers
Refer to the following operating recommendations when using the Double Windrow Attachment (DWA) with
15–20 ft. headers:
• On the first pass, raise the side delivery system and deposit the crop between the wheels of the windrower.
• On the return pass, lower the side delivery system and deposit the crop beside the previously laid windrow.
• With a center-delivered crop, the position of the crop can be adjusted by using the side deflectors on the
forming shields.
• With a side-delivered crop, the position of the crop can be adjusted by adjusting the draper speed (faster draper
speeds will throw the crop farther).
3.9.2 Operating with 25- and 30-Foot Headers
Refer to the following operating recommendations when using the Double Windrow Attachment (DWA) with
25–30 ft. headers:
• When using 25- and 30-foot headers on light crop, the side delivery system can be used to lay windrows side
by side.
NOTE:
Adjust the position of a side delivered crop by varying the draper speed.
• When using 25- and 30-foot headers on heavy crop, double windrowing may not be desired. Raise the DWA
deck to lay single windrows between the windrower’s wheels.
