WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death from loss of control:
• Do NOT make abrupt changes in steering direction.
• Anticipate turns and steep slopes by slowing down well in advance.
• Do NOT rapidly accelerate or decelerate while turning.
When travelling on steep slopes:
• Move ground speed lever (GSL) closer to NEUTRAL to reduce speed.
• Lower header.
• If the ground speed is greater than or equal to 51 km/h (32 mph), the HPT will display a warning message
(SLOW DOWN) with an audible alert. Move GSL closer to NEUTRAL to reduce speed.
With header removed, steering control is reduced if weight is not added to drive wheels. If you must drive
the windrower without header or MacDon weight system:
• Do NOT exceed minimum speed setting.
• Avoid loose gravel and slopes.
• Do NOT tow a header.
• If control of machine is lost, immediately pull ground speed lever (GSL) to NEUTRAL.
Towing Header with Windrower
The windrower can be used to tow a MacDon draper header that has the slow speed transport option installed.
Ensure the optional weight box or an approved header transporter is installed on the windrower to transfer weight
to the lift arms. Refer to
Preparing the Windrower, page 139
.
WARNING
• A windrower without a header or weight box must
NOT be used to tow headers due to reduced
traction and possible loss of control.
• For towed equipment without brakes, do NOT
exceed 32 km/h (20 mph).
