Inclines and ditches should be approached along a
line which is at an angle as shown. This type of
path will reduce the possibility of over-collapse of
the driveline and resulting damage. If the gradient
is so steep that such an approach increases the
possibility of a tractor roll-over, select an alternate
crossing path.
When operating the tractor and implement across
slopes and inclines, through ditches, and other
uneven terrain conditions, it is important to maintain
sufficient deck to ground clearance. If too much dirt
being carried in to the windrower, reduce the
working depth. Ground contact also produces a
severe shock load on the windrower drive and
resulting in possible damage and premature wear.
OPS-W-0001
Damage resulting from over-collapse of the driveline's inner profile and its outer housing
may allow the driveline to come loose from the Tractor which could cause bodily injury to
the operator or bystanders and/or extensive damage to the Tractor or Implement
11. OPERATING THE TRACTOR AND WINDROWER
THE

UNDERSTAND
HOW

AND
WINDROWER
CONTROLS
BEFORE
OPERATE.
The
operator
understand the Safety and Operation Sections of
the windrower and tractor operator's manuals.
These manuals must be read and explained to any
operator who cannot read. Never allow someone to
operate the windrower and tractor without complete
operating instructions.
Before starting any operation, the operator must
become familiar with the area to be windrowed and
any obstacles and hazards contained within to
ensure safety to the operator, bystanders, and
equipment. Special attention should be paid to
foreign debris, rough terrain, steep slopes, and
passersby and animals in the area.
