Revision A
Driving in Reverse in Engine-Forward Mode
Ensure that the windrower
’
s GROUND SPEED RANGE switch is in the low position before attempting to operate in reverse.
Be aware that the steering wheel will produce the opposite response in the direction of the windrower from that produced
when it is operating in the forward direction.
WARNING
Back up slowly. Hold the steering wheel at the bottom and turn the wheel in the direction you want the rear (cab-
forward) of the machine to travel.

1.
Move speed-range switch (A) to the
L
(low-range) position.
2.
Move throttle lever (B) to a mid-range position.
NOTE:
Reversing in the low-speed range and at a reduced engine
speed is recommended, since steering will be less sensitive
than at higher speed settings.
DANGER
Ensure that all bystanders have cleared the area.
3.
Move ground speed lever (GSL) (C) rearward to the
desired speed.
Figure 4.25: Operating in Reverse when Windrower is
in Cab-Forward Mode
4.
Steer the windrower as shown.
Spin Turning
The caster wheels on the windrower allow for turns with a very small radius. The faster the windrower is going, the larger
the radius of the turn will be.
CAUTION
Be sure the area is clear before making turns. Although the windrower pivots on the spot, the ends of the header travel
faster and in a large arc.
