MD #166843
Loss of control hazard
DANGER
To prevent serious injury or death from losing control of the
machine:
• Do NOT make abrupt changes in the direction in which you
are steering.
• Slow down before turning the machine.
• Do NOT make sudden, sharp changes to your speed
while turning, such as hard braking.
When travelling on steep slopes:
• Reduce the machine's speed and lower the header.
• Move the ground speed lever to the slow end of the range.
• Shift the high-low speed control to the low range.
When the windrower is operating without a header attached,
weight must be added over the drive wheels so that the
Operator can maintain steering control. If you must drive the
windrower without a header or without a MacDon weight
system:
• Operate the windrower in the low-speed range.
• Avoid slopes.
• Do NOT tow a header.
• If control of the machine is lost, immediately pull the ground
speed lever to the neutral position.
