Introduction
This manual contains unloading, assembly, and predelivery information for the MacDon M1240 Windrower. When paired
with one of MacDon
’
s A40DX, R85, R113, R216, D1X Series, or D1XL Series Headers, this windrower ably cuts and lays a
variety of grain, hay, and specialty crops in windrows.
The M1240 Windrower features Dual Direction
®
capability, meaning that it can be driven in cab-forward or
engine-forward mode.
The designations
“
right
”
and
“
left
”
are determined by which direction the operator is facing. The operator is considered to
be looking
“
cab-forward
”
when they are facing the drive wheels, and
“
engine-forward
”
when looking at the engine. This
manual uses the terms right cab-forward, left cab-forward, right engine-forward, and left engine-forward when referencing
specific locations on the machine.
The windrower
’
s ignition keys should have been bundled with the shipping documents. They are used to start the engine
and to lock the cab doors and tool box compartment.
