Revision A
WARNING
When operating the windrower on an incline:
•
Lower the header.
•
Reduce the windrower
’
s ground speed.
•
Move the GROUND SPEED RANGE switch to L (low range).
•
If the windrower
’
s ground speed is greater than or equal to 40 km/h (25 mph), the CDM will display a warning
message (SLOW DOWN) and will emit a tone. Move the GSL closer to NEUTRAL to reduce the windrower
’
s ground
speed.
CAUTION
Hydrostatic steering control differs from mechanical steering in these respects:
•
Hydrostatic steering is more sensitive than mechanical steering. Do NOT make abrupt changes in steering direction.
•
When operating the windrower in reverse, take account of the fact that steering wheel will produce the opposite
results, compared to operating in the forward direction.
•
When the engine is running, moving the ground speed lever out of the N-DETENT position will unlock the steering
wheel. Any movement of the steering wheel will then cause the machine to move, even if the ground speed lever is
still in the NEUTRAL position.
•
The parking brake is only applied when the GSL is in the N-DETENT position and the steering wheel is centered and
locked.
Entering and Exiting Windrower
Use the platforms to safely exit and enter the windrower
’
s cab.
CAUTION
To prevent 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 the windrower on a flat, level surface. Put the ground speed lever into the N-DETENT position and center the
steering wheel in the locked position. Wait for the cab display module (CDM) to emit a tone and display an
“
In
Park
”
message to confirm that the parking brake is engaged.
•
Fully lower the header and the reel (if applicable).
•
Disengage the header drives.
•
To prevent bodily injury or death from the unexpected startup of the machine, always stop the engine and remove
the key from the ignition.
•
Turn off the lights, unless their being on is required for inspection purposes.
•
Release the seat belt.
•
Turn off the wipers.
•
Raise the armrest and steering wheel for easier exit and re-entry.
•
Lock the cab door if you are leaving the windrower unattended.
