either:
•
2
for
road speed: 0 - 16 mph (25.7 km/h)
or

CAUTION
Check again to be sure all bystanders have
cleared the area.
f. Slowly move the GSL (A) forward to desired
speed which will be displayed at (F).
CAUTION
Operate both steering wheel and ground
speed lever slowly for familiarization. Avoid
the common tendency of new Operators to
over-steer.
NOTE
The windrower can be equipped with an
automatic steering system for use in the
field. The Auto-Steer is available as an
option, and can be installed by an
Auto-Steer Dealer. The GSL has been
pre-wired at the factory with a switch.
Also see Section 9.14 AUTO-STEER.
6.3.6.2.1 Reverse
WARNING
Back up slowly. Steering is opposite to
normal when reversing. Hold steering wheel
at the bottom, and turn wheel in direction
you want the rear of the machine to travel.
a. Set ground speed-range switch (B) to
1
(field
speed).
b. Move throttle lever (D) to a “mid-range” position.
NOTE
Reversing in low speed-range and at
reduced engine speed is recommended
since steering will be less sensitive than at
higher speed settings.
CAUTION
Check again to be sure all bystanders have
cleared the area.
c. Move the GSL (A) rearward to desired speed.
