OPERATION
Ingress/Egress
CAUTION
To provide more secure hand and foot mobility, preventing slipping and possible injury, ALWAYS face the
windrower and use the hand rail when dismounting (or mounting).
• NEVER attempt to get on or off a moving windrower.
Before leaving the operator's seat for any reason:
• Park on level ground if possible.
• Be sure ground speed lever is in N-DETENT and steering wheel is locked in the straight-ahead position.
• Fully lower header and reel.
• Disengage header drives.
• Stop engine and remove key from ignition. A child or even a pet could engage an idling machine.
• Turn off wipers.
• Turn off lights unless required for inspection purposes.
• Release seat belt.
• Raise armrest and steering wheel for easier exit and re-entry.
• Lock the cab door when leaving the windrower unattended. (When the door is locked, it can still be
opened from inside the cab.)
A swing away platform and steps (A) are provided to
accommodate access to the operator’s station, as well as
maintenance tasks.
Opposite to the entry/exit door (B) is a door-size window
(C) that latches in the partially open position if desired, and
can be fully opened for emergency exit.
