The M150 & M200 Windrower hydraulic system
provides oil for the windrower drive system, and
header lift and drive systems.

this manual.

can penetrate the skin causing serious
injury.
Relieve
disconnecting hydraulic lines. Tighten all
connections
before
applying
pressure.
Keep
hands and body
away
from
pin-

which eject fluids
under
high
pressure. Use a
piece
of
cardboard
or
paper to search
for leaks. If ANY
fluid
is
injected
into the skin, it
must be surgically removed within a few
hours by a doctor familiar with this type of
injury or gangrene may result.
IMPORTANT
Dirt, dust, water and foreign material are
the major causes of trouble developing in
the hydraulic system. If the hydraulic

commercial petroleum cleaning solvent for
ten seconds minimum. Do not use water,
water soluble cleaners or compressed air.
IMPORTANT
The components in this system are built to
very close tolerances and have been
adjusted at the factory. Do not attempt to
service these components except to
maintain proper oil level, change oil and
filters and to adjust relief pressures as
described in this manual. See your
Windrower Dealer for all other service.
