ASSEMBLY/SETUP INSTRUCTIONS 9. Position the deck pivot (A) into the linkage clevis (B). NOTE: Make sure there is a loose bushing inside the deck pivot (A). 10. Align the deck pivot (A) with the holes in the clevis (B) by raising or lowering the floor jack, and insert shaft (C) with preinstalled hex nut (D) and lock nut (E) through the top.
Page 25
ASSEMBLY/SETUP INSTRUCTIONS 15. Adjust the turnbuckle length so the space (A) between the deck and the right-hand drive tire is approximately 100 mm (4 in.). NOTE: The single-acting lift cylinder is pressurized with the draper drive circuit. Therefore, when the deck is set up for the rotary disc headers, the windrower needs to be running for the deck to be in its most forward position.
ASSEMBLY/SETUP INSTRUCTIONS 2.4 Installing the Hydraulics to M1240 Windrower 2.4.1 M1240 Disc-Only Configuration To install the DWA hydraulics to a M1240 Self-Propelled Windrower configured for disc-only headers, follow these steps: Install the DWA linkage hydraulics to windrower. 1. Route hoses (A) underneath both filters as shown.
In addition to the hardware used for connecting to disc headers, an M1240 Self-Propelled Windrower will also have a four point multicoupler installed to allow for connecting to draper headers. To install the DWA hydraulics to a M1240 Self-Propelled Windrower configured for disc- and draper-ready headers, follow these steps: Install the DWA linkage hydraulics to the windrower.
Page 28
ASSEMBLY/SETUP INSTRUCTIONS 4. Connect the hydraulic hose (A) with the blue fastener (MD #135266) (B) to the reducer (C) on the multicoupler bulkhead fitting closest to the windrower. 5. Connect the other hydraulic hose (D) to the remaining reducer (E) on the multicoupler bulkhead fitting. Figure 2.24: Deck Hydraulic Hoses and Multicoupler Connections (Parts Removed for Clarity)
ASSEMBLY/SETUP INSTRUCTIONS 2.5 Connecting the Proximity Sensor To connect the proximity sensor for the Double Windrow Attachment (DWA), follow these steps: NOTE: The proximity sensor comes preinstalled on the DWA linkage. 1. Remove the cable tie binding the DWA extension (A) to the chassis harness (B) from windrower.
(A). Figure 2.26: Header Setup – Attachments 2. Select DWA and the display will show an image of the buttons to be used to control the DWA with each particular header. DWA is now activated.
The One-Touch-Return buttons will always save header height settings, but you can also save the following settings for the DWA: • DWA up/down • DWA speed Refer to your windrower operator’s manual for more detailed One-Touch-Return information.
Page 32
ASSEMBLY/SETUP INSTRUCTIONS 2. Scroll to place the red cursor over the DWA draper pressure icon (A). Figure 2.32: QuickMenu / Draper Pressure Alarm 3. Adjust alarm setpoint (B) to desired value by scrolling until the pressure reaches the desired alarm point.
3 Operation 3.1 Operational Safety CAUTION To avoid bodily injury: • Review the safety sections of your windrower and header operator’s manuals. • Keep all shields in place. • Engage the deck safety pin when deck is raised fully for transport, service, and storage—or before going under deck for any reason.
3.2 Engaging the Deck Safety Pin Engage the deck safety pin as follows: 1. Raise the Double Windrow Attachment (DWA) deck. 2. Push pin (A) inward until both roll pins (B) are inside the channel. Rotate the pin (A) 90 degrees.
Adjusting the Proximity Sensor, page DWA raise and lower can be controlled in three ways: 1. Raise and lower the DWA deck by using the reel raise button (A) and the reel lower button (B) respectively on the ground speed lever (GSL). The operator can interrupt the raising and lowering of the deck by letting go of the buttons.
3.3.1 Adjusting the Deck Lift Speed Finding the proper Double Windrow Attachment (DWA) deck lift speed is essential to its proper operation. The deck must lift fast enough to clear a windrow, and slow enough not to stop abruptly against the bottom of the windrower.
(A) at the linkage needs to be lowered: NOTE: Carefully adjust the proximity sensor when running up the DWA for the first time. 1. Loosen screws (B) to lower the switch. 2. Tighten screws (B) when the adjustment is complete. NOTE: Figure 3.7: Proximity Sensor...
NOTE: If set up with an R-Series Rotary Disc Header, the DWA deck will only be in its most forward position when the windrower is running. The lift cylinder is single acting and not pressurized when the windrower is shut off. When the windrower is running, a supply of low pressure oil moves the deck forward.
(A) should be equal to distance (B). • If the crop needs to be thrown farther, increase distance (A). Figure 3.15: DWA Deck To adjust deck angle: 1. Loosen the four 3/4 in. bolts (A). 2. Loosen jam nut (C).
If the deck is too low to the ground, raise it as follows: 1. Lower linkage by fully extending cylinder. 2. Move bottom pivot pin to lower position (A). This will raise the front of the deck approximately 100 mm (4 in.). Figure 3.17: DWA Linkage 214048 Revision A...
Figure 3.19: Forming Shield 3. Adjust the left-hand side deflector (B) to direct crop towards the inboard side of the DWA back sheet (C). NOTE: If center delivering, the left-hand deflector (B) can be moved inward to form a narrower windrow.
Page 44
OPERATION 5. Adjust the rear deflector baffle (A) so crop flow (B) does not interfere with the deck when fully raised. Figure 3.21: Deck Raised NOTE: The fins (B) under the forming shield can interfere with crop flow, especially with an R-Series Header in light crop.
OPERATION 3.8 Positioning the Conditioner Rolls The gap between the conditioner rolls needs to be small enough to properly throw the crop onto the Double Windrow Attachment. The gap size depends on the crop type and yield. • A gap that is too small for a heavy crop will use excessive engine power and be hard on affected components. •...
Adjust the position of a side delivered crop by varying the draper speed. • When using 25- and 30-foot headers on heavy crop, double windrowing may not be desired. Raise the DWA deck to lay single windrows between the windrower’s wheels.
• It may be possible to shoot crop above the forming shield with extreme header angle and rear baffle positions. • In rocky conditions where a DWA is necessary, a high skid shoe kit or adjustment to gauge rollers may be required to achieve correct stubble height while maintaining proper crop trajectory.
4 Maintenance and Servicing 4.1 Draper Maintenance 4.1.1 Adjusting Draper Tension Adjust the draper tension enough to prevent slipping and eliminate sagging. Set draper tension as follows: 1. Check that draper guide (rubber track on underside of draper) is properly engaged in groove of drive roller, and that idler roller is between the guides.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING To adjust tracking on the drive roller side: 1. Loosen the three locking nuts (A). 2. Adjust nut (D) according to Table 4.1 Draper Tracking Adjustments, page 3. Tighten the three nuts (A) to secure the drive roller. 4.
