The following instructions are provided to assist
the Operator in the use of the M105 Windrower.

7.1 PREPARATION FOR SERVICING
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, before servicing
adapter/header or opening drive covers:
•
Fully lower the header. If necessary to
service in the raised position, always
engage lift cylinder stops.
•
Disengage drives.
•
Stop engine, and remove key.
•
Wait for all moving parts to stop.
7.1.1 WELDING PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT
High currents and voltage spikes
associated with welding can cause
damage to electronic components. Before
welding on any part of the windrower or an
attached header, disconnect all electronic
module harness connections as well as
the battery cables.
These electronic modules include:
•
Engine Control Module (ECM)
•
Windrower Control Module (WCM)
•
Cab Display Module (CDM)
7.2 RECOMMENDED SAFETY
PROCEDURES
•
Wear close-fitting clothing
and cover long hair. Never
wear dangling items such
as scarves or bracelets.
•
Use adequate light for the
job at hand.
•
Replace all shields removed or opened
for service.
•
Park on a level surface when possible.
Block wheels securely.
•
Wear protective shoes with slip-resistant
soles, a hard hat, protective glasses or
goggles and heavy gloves.
•
If more than one person is servicing the
machine at the same time, be aware that
rotating a driveline or other mechanically
driven component by hand (for example,
accessing a lube fitting) will cause drive
components in other areas (belts,
pulleys, and sickle) to move. Stay clear
of driven components at all times.
•
Be prepared if an accident should occur.
Know where the first aid kit and fire
extinguishers are located and how to use
them.
•
Keep the service
area clean and dry.
Wet or oily floors
are slippery. Wet
spots can be
dangerous when
working with
electrical
equipment. Be sure
all electrical outlets
and tools are properly grounded.
•
Use only service and repair parts made
or approved by the equipment
manufacturer. Substituted parts may not
meet strength, design or safety
requirements.
•
Keep the machine clean. Never use
gasoline, naphtha or any volatile material
