Page 174: Break-In Period
OPERATION 4.3.2 Break-In Period The windrower is ready for normal operation. However there are several items to check and watch out for during the ﬁrst 150 hours. In addition to the following, perform the items speciﬁed in Break-In Inspections, page 426.

OPERATION d. Adjust tension on air conditioning (A/C) compressor belt. Refer to Tensioning Air Conditioner (A/C) Compressor Belt, page 367. e. Distribute A/C refrigerant by cycling A/C switch. Refer to Air Conditioning Compressor Coolant Cycling, page 159. Check the entire A/C system for leakage at the beginning of each season. 2.
Page 176: Engine Operation
OPERATION 4.3.5 Engine Operation Starting the Engine DANGER • Avoid possible injury or death from a runaway machine. • This machine has safety devices which allow the engine to start only when the ground speed lever is in N-DETENT, the steering wheel is locked in the NEUTRAL position, and the header drive switch is in the OFF position.
Page 177 OPERATION 2. Ensure lock (A) at the base of the steering column is engaged at cab-forward or engine-forward position. 3. Move ground speed lever (GSL) (B) into N-DETENT. 4. Turn steering wheel until it locks. It may be possible to move the steering wheel slightly in the locked position.
Page 178: Engine Warmup
OPERATION IMPORTANT: • Do NOT operate starter for longer than 15 seconds at a time. • If engine does not start, wait at least two minutes before trying again. • After the third 15 second crank attempt, allow solenoid to cool for 10 minutes before further cranking attempts. If engine still does not start, refer to Engine Troubleshooting.
Page 179: Engine Intermediate Speed Control (Isc)
2200 rpm or the last selected rpm. NOTE: Previous M-Series windrower models included an OFF (full throttle) option which is NOT available on the M155. Engine ISC is useful when operating loads are reduced such as in light crop conditions that do not require the maximum engine rpm.
Page 180: Engine Temperature
OPERATION WARNING • To avoid personal injury or death from explosion or ﬁre, do NOT smoke or allow ﬂame or sparks near fuel tank when refueling. • NEVER refuel the windrower when the engine is hot or running. CAUTION Do NOT allow tank to empty. Running out of fuel can cause air locks and/or contamination of the fuel system.
Page 181: Engine Oil Pressure
OPERATION Engine Oil Pressure The nominal engine oil pressure is 10 psi (69 kPa) at low idle and 55.1 psi (380 kPa) at maximum rated speed. If the oil pressure drops below the preset level of 7.5 psi (52 kPa), the cab display module (CDM) ﬂashes an error code and error message.
Page 182 OPERATION WARNING • Avoid driving the machine with header removed. Removing header decreases the weight on drive wheels, reducing steering control. • If necessary to drive machine with header removed, use transmission ﬁeld speed range, do NOT exceed 1500 rpm engine speed, and avoid loose gravel and slopes. •...
Page 183: Entering And Exiting The Windrower
OPERATION Entering and Exiting the Windrower CAUTION To provide more secure hand and foot mobility, preventing slipping and possible injury, ALWAYS face the windrower and use the hand rail when dismounting (or mounting). NEVER attempt to get on or off a moving windrower.
Page 184: Driving Forward In Cab-Forward Mode
OPERATION Driving Forward in Cab-Forward Mode CAUTION Operate both steering wheel and ground speed lever slowly for familiarization. Avoid the common tendency of new Operators to oversteer. WARNING Do NOT drive windrower on road in cab-forward conﬁguration, unless it is equipped with the proper lighting and markings for cab-forward road travel.
Page 185: Driving Reverse In Cab-Forward Mode

Place ground speed lever (GSL) (A) in N-DETENT and lock steering wheel.
Page 187: Driving In Reverse In Engine-Forward Mode
OPERATION CAUTION Operate both steering wheel and ground speed lever slowly while becoming familiar with the machine. Remember that steering is more sensitive when speed-range control is in road speed position. Avoid the common tendency of new Operators to oversteer. 8.
Page 188: Spin Turning
OPERATION CAUTION Check to be sure all bystanders have cleared the area. 3. Move the ground speed lever (GSL) (C) rearward to desired speed. 4. Steer as shown. Figure 4.25: Steering the Windrower Spin Turning Hydrostatic steering provides signiﬁcantly more manoeuvrability than mechanical steering. CAUTION Be sure area is clear before making turns.

Page 191: Transporting
Driving on the Road The M155 Self-Propelled Windrower is designed to be driven on the road with the engine facing forward to provide better visibility for the Operator and improved stability for the machine. The windrower is also capable of being driven on the road in cab-forward mode, but at a reduced speed and under restricted conditions.
Page 192 OPERATION CAUTION Check local laws for width regulations and lighting and marking requirements before transporting on roads. Before driving windrower on a roadway: 1. Ensure HEADER DRIVE switch (A) is pushed to OFF position (down). 2. Clean ﬂashing amber lamps, red tail and head lamps, and check that they work properly.
Page 193 (SLOW DOWN) with an audible alert. Move GSL closer to NEUTRAL to reduce speed. With header removed, steering control is reduced if weight is not added to drive wheels. If you must drive the windrower without header or MacDon weight system: • Operate in low speed range.
