4.3.8 Transporting
Driving on the Road
The M205 Self-Propelled Windrower is designed to be driven on the road with the engine facing forward to provide
better visibility for the Operator and improved stability for the machine. The windrower can also be driven on the
road in cab-forward mode, but at a reduced speed and under restricted conditions.
WARNING
Collision between windrower and other vehicles may result in injury or death.
WARNING
When driving windrower on public roadways:
•
Obey all highway traffic regulations in your area. Use pilot vehicles in front and rear of windrower if
required by law.
•
Use slow-moving vehicle emblem and flashing warning lights unless prohibited by law.
•
If width of attached header impedes other vehicle traffic, remove header and install a MacDon approved
weight box.
WARNING
•
Do NOT drive windrower on the road in the cab-forward mode, unless the optional lighting marking kit
is installed, as lighting/reflector visibility will not be compliant with road regulations. Refer to
7.1.4
Lighting and Marking for Cab-Forward Road Travel, page 443 .
•
Do NOT drive windrower on a road or highway at night or in conditions that reduce visibility, such as
fog or rain. The width of the windrower may not be apparent under these conditions.
