  • Page 186: Driving Windrower

    WARNING Avoid driving the machine with the header removed. Removing the header decreases the weight on the drive wheels, reducing steering control. If you must drive the machine with the header removed and without a MacDon weight system: • Use the windrower’s low-speed range.

  • Page 187: Entering And Exiting Windrower

    OPERATION WARNING When operating the windrower on an incline: • Lower the header. • Reduce the windrower’s ground speed. • Move the GROUND SPEED RANGE switch to L (low range). • If the windrower’s ground speed is greater than or equal to 40 km/h (25 mph), the CDM will display a warning message (SLOW DOWN) and will emit a tone.

  • Page 192: Driving In Reverse In Engine-Forward Mode

    OPERATION Driving in Reverse in Engine-Forward Mode Ensure that the windrower’s GROUND SPEED RANGE switch is in the low position before attempting to operate in reverse. Be aware that the steering wheel will produce the opposite response in the direction of the windrower from that produced when it is operating in the forward direction.

  • Page 193: Stopping

    OPERATION 1. Move ground speed lever (GSL) (A) out of the N-DETENT position to a moderate setting. 2. Slowly turn the steering wheel in the direction in which you would like the windrower to turn. The windrower will pivot between the drive wheels. 3.

  • Page 194: Adjusting Caster Tread Width

    OPERATION 4.3.7 Adjusting Caster Tread Width The windrower’s rear casters can be moved closer together. This allows the windrower to be loaded onto a trailer and shipped without having to remove the casters entirely. A narrower tread width also suits windrowers paired with smaller headers, by allowing more space for the uncut crop.

  • Page 214: Header Float

    OPERATION 4.4.2 Header Float The header float feature allows the header to follow the contours of the ground closely as the windrower moves forward. The header is able to respond to sudden changes in elevation or obstacles quickly. The float setting is ideal when the cutterbar rides along the ground with minimal bouncing, and without scooping or pushing soil.

  • Page 215: Checking Float

    OPERATION Checking Float The windrower is equipped with primary (coarse) and secondary (fine) float adjustment systems. The primary adjustment allows the Operator to move the system’s drawbolts to change the tension on the springs in the lift linkages. The secondary adjustment allows the Operator to use hydraulic cylinders to change the spring tension.

  • Page 226: Return To Cut

    OPERATION 4.4.7 Return to Cut The return to cut (RTC) feature provides preset cutting height and tilt angle settings for the header. This feature can be turned OFF or ON with a switch on the cab display module (CDM). If desired, the CDM can be programmed so that only the cutting height feature is active. The AUTO RAISE HEIGHT feature allows you to raise the header to a preselected height while in RETURN TO CUT mode.

    REFERENCE 8.5 Cab Display Module Error Codes The cab display module (CDM) displays error codes when there is a fault with one of the sensors that monitor and control windrower operation. Use the list of error codes to help identify a specific problem with the windrower. NOTE: In the case of dual codes being shown for an item (primarily the solenoid valves), the first code indicates a SHORT CIRCUIT condition, while the second code indicates an OPEN CIRCUIT condition.
