IMPORTANT:
Satisfactory
windrower in all situations requires making proper
adjustments to suit various crops and conditions.
Correct operation reduces crop loss and allows
cutting of more acres. As well, proper adjustments
and timely maintenance will increase the length of
service you receive from the machine.
ENGAGING THE PTO
DANGER: Be sure all bystanders are
clear of the machine before engaging
the PTO. Never leave tractor seat
with the PTO engaged. Entanglement with
rotating driveline will cause serious injury or
death.
• Engage the PTO slowly, just before the
windrower is moved up to the standing crop.
Engage PTO only when tractor is angled less
than 45° to driveline.
• Be sure tractor PTO speed and windrower drive
are matched. See "Preparing the Windrower" in
this section.
• Disengage the PTO when not operating the
windrower.
CUTTING WIDTH
Unless combine capacity is a limiting factor, run
the left side of the header close to the edge of the
standing crop, taking a full cut. If a full width
windrow will overload your combine, cut less than
a full windrower width. Overloading the combine
means wasted crop, high fuel consumption, and
possible repair bills.
RIGHT HAND DIVIDER ROD
The divider rod (A) can be angled in or out to
provide proper separation and clean entry in a
variety of crops. To change angle; loosen
hardware, move rod to desired position and tighten
hardware.
