1.
Move ground speed lever (GSL) (A) out of the N-DETENT
position to a moderate setting.
2.
Slowly turn the steering wheel in the direction in which you
would like the windrower to turn. The windrower will pivot
between the drive wheels.
3.
To increase the radius of the turn, slowly move the GSL
away from NEUTRAL.
NOTE:
The higher the ground speed, the wider the turn will be.
4.
To stop the turn, slowly turn the steering wheel back to its
centered position.
Stopping
Moving the ground speed lever to the N-DETENT position applies the windrower
’
s wheel brakes. Allow the engine to idle
for a sufficient amount of time before shutting it off.
WARNING
Do NOT move the ground speed lever (GSL) rapidly back to NEUTRAL. You may be thrown forward by a sudden stop
and the wheels may skid, reducing steering control. Always wear a seat belt when operating the windrower.
CAUTION
Park on a flat, level surface with the GSL in the N-DETENT position and the steering wheel centered in the locked
position. Wait for the CDM to beep and display an
“
In Park
”
message to confirm the parking brake is active.

SLOWLY
return GSL (A) to the NEUTRAL position and into
the N-DETENT position.
2.
Turn the steering wheel until it locks.
3.
Move throttle lever (B) to the low idle position.
NOTE:
Avoid idling the engine unnecessarily. Stop the engine if it
will be idling for longer than five minutes.
NOTE:
The brakes are automatically engaged when the steering
wheel is locked in the NEUTRAL position.
IMPORTANT:
Before stopping the engine, allow the engine to run at low
idle for approximately five minutes to allow hot engine
parts to cool, and to allow the turbocharger fan to slow
down while engine oil pressure is still available.
4.
Turn the ignition key counterclockwise to the OFF position.
