OPERATION
24
Break-in Period
1. After attaching the sprayer attachment to the
MacDon self-propelled windrower for the first
time, operate the machine slowly for 5
minutes, watching and listening FROM THE
OPERATOR’S SEAT for binding or interfering
parts while unfolding and folding booms.
Refer to page 25 of this manual for boom
control instructions.
CAUTION: Before investigating
an unusual sound or attempting
to correct a problem, shut off the
engine, engage the parking brake
and remove key.
2. Become familiar with the machine by operating
the sprayer in the transport position. Drive the
unit in an open area at low speeds to
familiarize yourself with steering and handling
characteristics of the unit. Hydrostatic steering
equipment might handle somewhat differently
from other machinery you are familiar with.
The steering might seem somewhat sensitive
at speeds over 10 mph (16 km/h). Do not
exceed this speed until you are completely
comfortable with the handling of your MacDon
Field Sprayer Attachment.
3. Add some water to the tank and run the spray
system for 5 minutes. Shut down the engine
and inspect the spray system for possible
leaks.
Refer to the Maintenance/Service section of the
Self-Propelled Windrower Operator’s Manual for
points to inspect after 10 hours of operation.
4. Check hardware after 5 hours operation.
Tighten as necessary. Refer to the Torque
Specifications on page 17 of this manual for
recommended torque.
5. Until you become familiar with the sound and
feel of your new equipment, be extra alert and
attentive.
