Revision A
NOTE:
Until you become familiar with the sound and feel of your new windrower, be extra alert and attentive.
•
Avoid unnecessary idling. If the engine will be idling longer than 5 minutes after reaching operating temperature, turn
the ignition key OFF to stop the engine.
•
Before taking the GSL out of PARK, let the hydraulic oil warm up to 32°C (90°F). View the hydraulic oil temperature on
the HarvestTouch
™
Display. For instructions, refer to Viewing Engine Cooling Data, page 202 .
•
Check the engine oil level frequently. Watch for any signs of leakage. If oil must be added, refer to Checking Engine Oil
Level, page 192 .
•
Watch the coolant gauge in the cab for temperature rising beyond normal operating range. Check that the coolant level
in the reserve tank (mounted next to the radiator) stays between the HOT and COLD marks on the tank. For
instructions, refer to
6.7.5 Checking Engine Coolant, page 324 .
NOTE:
If overheating problems occur, check for coolant leaks.
•
Perform the break-in inspections specified in 6.2.1 Break-in Inspection Schedule, page 283 .
NOTE:
During the break-in period, a higher-than-usual oil consumption is considered normal.
NOTE:
If the windrower must be driven in cold weather (when the ambient temperature is below 0°C), let the engine idle for 3
minutes, and then operate the windrower at moderate speed until the oil has warmed up.
5.3.3 Preseason Checks / Annual Service

of the machine.
•
Store a properly stocked first aid kit and charged fire extinguisher on the windrower.
Follow these steps to perform preseason checks/annual service.
