WARNING
When driving the windrower on public roadways:
•
Obey all highway traffic regulations in your area. Arrange to have pilot vehicles in the front and the rear of the
windrower, if doing so is required by law.
•
Display a slow-moving vehicle emblem and flashing warning lights, unless these actions are prohibited by law.
•
If the width of the attached header impedes other vehicle traffic, remove the header and install a MacDon-
approved weight box on the windrower. This will allow the windrower to be driven safely on roadways without an
attached header.
WARNING
•
Do NOT drive the windrower on the road when it is in cab-forward mode, unless the optional lighting and marking
kit is installed; the marking and lighting on the windrower when it is in this mode are not compliant with most road
regulations. For more information, refer to
7.4.1 Lighting and Marking for Cab-Forward Road Travel, page 464
.
•
Do NOT drive the windrower on a road or a highway at night or in conditions that reduce visibility, such as fog or
rain. The width of the windrower may not be apparent to other drivers in these conditions.
CAUTION
Operate both the steering wheel and ground speed lever slowly while becoming familiar with the machine. Remember
that the steering is more sensitive when the speed-range control is in high road speed position. Avoid the common
tendency of new Operators to oversteer.
CAUTION
Familiarize yourself with the width regulations and lighting and marking requirements in your region before attempting
to drive the windrower on a public road.
