Chapter 1: Safety 1.1 Signal Words Three signal words, DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION, are used to alert you to hazardous situations. Signal words are selected using the following guidelines: DANGER Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
SAFETY 1.2 General Safety CAUTION The following are general farm safety precautions that should be part of your operating procedure for all types of machinery. Protect yourself. • When assembling, operating, and servicing machinery, wear all protective clothing and personal safety devices that could be necessary for job at hand.
Page 13
SAFETY • Wear close-fitting clothing and cover long hair. Never wear dangling items such as scarves or bracelets. • Keep all shields in place. NEVER alter or remove safety equipment. Make sure driveline guards can rotate independently of shaft and can telescope freely. •...
SAFETY 1.3 Tire Safety WARNING • Service tires safely. • A tire can explode during inflation which could cause serious injury or death. • Follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on a wheel or rim. Failure to do so can produce an explosion that may result in serious injury or death.
SAFETY 1.4 Battery Safety WARNING • Keep all sparks and flames away from batteries, as a gas given off by electrolyte is explosive. • Ventilate when charging in enclosed space. Figure 1.9: Safety around Batteries WARNING • Wear safety glasses when working near batteries. •...
SAFETY 1.5 Welding Precautions High currents and voltage spikes associated with welding can cause damage to electronic components. Before welding on any part of windrower or an attached header, disconnect all electronic module harness connections as well as battery cables. Refer to technical manual for proper procedures. 214738 Revision A...
SAFETY 1.6 Engine Safety WARNING Do NOT use aerosol starting aids such as ether. Such use could result in an explosion and personal injury. CAUTION • On initial start-up of a new, serviced, or repaired engine, always be ready to stop the engine in order to stop an overspeed.
SAFETY 1.6.2 Engine Electronics WARNING Tampering with electronic system installation or original equipment manufacturer (OEM) wiring installation can be dangerous and could result in personal injury or death and/or engine damage. WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard. The electronic unit injectors use DC voltage. The engine control module (ECM) sends this voltage to the electronic unit injectors.
Replace safety signs that are missing or illegible. • If original part on which a safety sign was installed is replaced, be sure repair part also bears current safety sign. • Safety signs are available from your MacDon Dealer. Figure 1.12: Operator’s Manual Decal 214738 Revision A...
Chapter 2: Unloading the Windrower You can use one or two forklifts to unload the windrower.

Page 22
UNLOADING THE WINDROWER 1. Move the trailer onto level ground and block the trailer wheels. 2. Set forklift tines to the widest possible setting. 3. Position one forklift on either side of the trailer, and position the forks under the windrower frame. NOTE: The windrower’s center of gravity is approximately 139.7 cm (55 in.) rearwards from the center of the drive wheel.
UNLOADING THE WINDROWER 2.2 Using One Forklift to Unload Windrower There are two different methods for unloading a windrower using one forklift. If using a chain to pull the windrower to a ground level that is equal to, or slightly lower than the height of the trailer deck, refer to 2.2.1 Method 1: Pulling from Trailer Deck, page 13.
UNLOADING THE WINDROWER 2.2.2 Method 2: Lifting from Trailer Deck CAUTION Equipment used for unloading must meet or exceed the specified requirements. Using inadequate equipment may result in chain breakage, vehicle tipping, or machine damage. Table 2.4 Lifting Vehicle Requirements Minimum Capacity 4994 kg (11,000 lb.) Minimum Fork Length...
Chapter 3: Assembling the Windrower Perform all procedures in this chapter in the order in which they are listed. 3.1 Installing Drive Wheel CAUTION Use a suitable lifting device capable of supporting a minimum of 907 kg (2000 lb.) to lift the wheel assembly away from the windrower.
