WINDROWER OPERATION
Form 169552 / 169554 / 169555

Revision A
6.3.6.3 Spin Turn
Hydrostatic steering gives the Operator
significantly more manoeuvrability than
mechanical steering.
CAUTION
Be sure area is clear before making turns.
Although windrower pivots "on the spot", the
ends of header travel faster, and in a large
arc.
d. Move the GSL (A) out of N-DETENT towards the
seat, and hold.
e. Slowly turn the steering wheel in the desired
direction of turn. The windrower will pivot
between the drive wheels.
f. To stop the turn, slowly turn the steering wheel
back to its centered position.
g. To increase the turn radius, slowly move the
GSL away from NEUTRAL. Remember that this
will increase ground speed as well.
h. To stop the turn, return the steering wheel to
center.
6.3.6.4 Stopping
WARNING
Do not move ground speed lever rapidly
back to NEUTRAL. Operator may be thrown
forward by sudden stop. Always wear seat
belt when operating windrower.
a. SLOWLY return the GSL (A) to NEUTRAL, and
into N-DETENT.
b. Turn steering wheel until it locks.
c. Move throttle lever (B) to “low idle” position.
NOTE
Avoid unnecessary idling. Stop engine if it
will be idling for longer than 5 minutes.
d. Brakes are automatically engaged when
steering wheel is locked in NEUTRAL position.
CAUTION
Park on a flat, level surface, header on the
ground and the ground speed lever in
N-DETENT and steering wheel locked.
IMPORTANT
Before stopping engine, run at low idle for
approximately five minutes to cool hot
engine parts.
e. Turn ignition key counter clockwise to OFF
position.
